The summer’s flying by, & we’ve spent most of it either at home or at the town pool. As I look back on our last five or six summers, I can probably say we’ve spent them doing the same exact thing. But THIS summer? A total game changer, baby! First, here’s the deal with our […]
Amazing Moms Book
Mother’s Day is soon approaching, so chances are that you’ll find yourself sporting a macaroni necklace & eating burnt toast made with childlish love as you attempt to nurse a wilting school-plant-sale geranium back to life. Or, maybe you’ll be spending your Mother’s Day up early on the sidelines of a peewee soccer game, because […]
If The Bit Fits…
So yes, I’m obviously way behind the curve. Fitbits are so 200… I don’t even know how old they are, because I live under a parental rock. Yup, I’m that person. I’m perpetually behind the times. I was the last to know that Bruce Willis was dead the entire time in The Sixth Sense. I couldn’t wait […]
Cookie Capers
This is a cookie. Well, technically it WAS a cheap, no-frills cookie, but now it’s a stealthy dental weapon…. because the creamy vanilla filling was meticulously scraped out of two of these cookies & replaced by the 8 year old, an evil genius*. *or avid YouTube-watcher, since apparently this prank has been making the rounds […]
Diamonds In The Rough
Happy New Year and all that jazz! I’m not a big fan of resolutions, mainly because as someone who fights a tendency towards perfectionism, I used to go overboard on them. I’d make resolutions, but along the lines of: Clean & organize every single corner of my house. Always. Work out every single day. Eat […]
Review: Photowall Print Canvas
Remember back in the good ‘ole days when you’d take pictures with your camera, drop off the film, & pay for actual prints to be made? If you’re like me, your phone is crammed chock-full of pictures that never see the light of day, because you’re waiting to use them “one day”. I’ve always loved […]
Laughing Through Tears
So the blog’s been quiet as of late, & though I kept thinking I’d update, days became weeks. Now granted, life’s been busy, but that’s typical here. My radio silence has been more than that. Life’s been busy, but it’s also been more difficult. You know those periods in your life when it feels as […]
Tread Lightly
Before kids, I was a hard-core athlete. I LOVED to run, to push myself, to get the adrenaline flowing. Running was my favorite activity; I’d lace on the sneakers, grab my Walkman (I told you, BEFORE kids. Like a long time ago, when cassettes were still a thing.), and hit the streets for a few […]
Book Review: Only Dead On The Inside
As a former English teacher & self-professing lit geek, it should come as no surprise that I love to read. All.the.things. And for those of you that hang with me here or on social media, you also know that I love babies (the whole “bajillion babies” bit), and I’m obsessed with humor. I LOVE laughing, & […]
Car Control- Keeping Kids Occupied When Out & About
Juggling the schedules of six kids requires a LOT of time in the car, schlepping them to and from various activities. Without a babysitter, I’m often required to take the entire crew along with me on various drop-off runs, or to watch games/practices/events. Now back in the early days, I’d scramble to keep the little […]
