Is it hot in your neck of the woods? Good Lawd but it’s been a scorcher lately. And us Northwesterners aren’t really equipped to handle skin-sizzling heat. Our delicate dermis is screaming in protest at unrecognized UV rays, sweat-inducing temperatures and the generous slathering of sunscreen (applied in the hope of saving our top layer […]
influenster Spring Fling VoxBox – A Review
Free schtuff. Who doesn’t love a box full of somethings for nothing? This gal does. A while back I came across Influenster, a community developed for folks to essentially help increase brand awareness through product reviews and experiences. It is free to sign-up and involvement in the website increases your likelihood of receiving a free box of schtuff. Um, […]
The Last Day of School 2014
Wow. Just, wow. How on Earth did 200 +/- days go by in the wink of an eye? It defies science, really. But then so do many of the things our school-aged kids manage to do so why am I surprised? This has been quite a year, as are most. My inquisitive little squirrel monkey […]
Baseball Season is Alive and Hitting…well, sometimes.
It can be almost painful to watch your little tikes play organized sports. I sit on the sidelines in my pop-up camp chair gripping the arms, a mere nano-second away from launching out of the chair to either swing the bat for my kiddo or viciously destroy the pitching machine that I’m sure has it […]
A Gloomy, Rainy, Boring Saturday. Or is it?
Good afternoon Friends! What a positive, optimistic, glass half-full (of Captain Morgan, no less!) blog title, eh? It’s just one of those ugly kinda days. The sky is gray. And not a gorgeous chevron-striped pillow type of gray either. The dismal kind. Frizz-inducing misty rain is coming down. It’s cold. But it’s not cold. Not cold […]
Working Moms – I Salute You! (An Open Letter)
Dear Unsung Heroes: I would like to begin by saying I truly believe the majority of us chicks are doing the best we can within whatever situation we find ourselves. The “mom” job is the toughest in the world and there ain’t nobody with all the answers. Any-shmoo, some background. I joined the ranks of the […]
Winter Woes – Frozen Popsicle People
Brrrrr. It’s cold. Like the kind of cold that hurts to the bones. And I’m not the “bony” type. I mean, I have bones. Obviously. And they’re sturdy little buggers. But I also have a nice layer, or two, keeping my bones and innards protected. You know, insulating all my important organs and stuff. And, okay. Maybe […]
You Can Learn A Lot If You Listen
Recently, while reacquainting myself with my little bloggy-blog I came across this post that for some reason only known to God and the Universe, I never published. Rather than dump it off as a missed opportunity to share I decided to include it as today’s blog post, the information still quite relevant. I threw this […]
Priorities, after all.
My son is a pagan. Or something along those lines. Recently, during one of my daily “breakdown of the school day” rap sessions with my little 2nd grader (a.k.a. behavior update and/or early planning for teacher Christmas payoffs) I discovered that Jack has recently had Santa Clause on his little brain. I shouldn’t be surprised. […]
Cider and Pumpkins and Halloween Candy…Oh My!
October. The month of apple spiced candles and warmly colored mums. The official beginning of a guilt-free spree of purchasing Kit Kats and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (and then repurchasing because “Ummm…what happened to those bags of candy? Damn. When did my ankles start getting fat?” The trees begin dropping their brightly colored leaves. […]
