Whether you’re a beginning blogger or a seasoned pro, it can be daunting to keep track of every last post, task, and email associated with all things blog. Running a successful blog requires so much more than just writing great posts; you also need to maintain your social media and advertising in order to grow […]
Go Green
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, if you’re Irish, or you like Ireland, or like drinking, or like corned beef, or like…. green, I guess? As someone who has a rather muddled ethnic heritage, I was always lukewarm about St. Paddy’s Day. While I appreciate the idea of pride in one’s cultural identity, I always felt like […]
Bored Games
In an effort to curb dependence on electronics, I’ve been encouraging my kids to play more board games. We have many of the standard games: Candyland, Chutes & Ladders, Apples To Apples, etc. To be a good sport, I’ll play a game of, let’s say, Candyland. And while I genuinely love watching the enthusiasm on […]
Veggie Tales
“Eat your vegetables.” As a kid, I dreaded hearing that, & if you’re like me, you dread having to say it if you have a child that is violently opposed to eating them. And yes, I have one that’s violently opposed to eating them. As a reformed picky eater, I get it. As a kid, […]
Hair Ye, Hair Ye
One of the more challenging aspects of parenting for me came as a surprise: HAIR. As a former tomboy, styling hair was definitely NOT on my list of high priorities as a kid. I had no interest in styling either my own hair, or anyone else’s, for that matter. And if you look back at […]
Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is this week, and to celebrate it, The Captain and I decided we’d have a quiet, romantic dinner at home… …then we laughed and laughed, because KIDS. On a serious note, we don’t typically go all out on Valentine’s Day- usually we give each other a thoughtful card and some chocolates. If the […]
When Life Gets Screw-y
This week started out ordinary, so there wasn’t much to tell. But it quickly evolved, as life often does with kids, into an insane example of simple gratitude & why even the best childproofing methods sometimes just aren’t enough. Intrigued? Ok, here we go! Monday began with a dull ache in my lower right jaw. […]
S(no)w Good
Winter is in full effect here in the northeastern US, so it shouldn’t have come as a shock to me when Friday’s forecast predicted snow. Yet… despite being a native New Yorker, I still experience shock & outrage when the forecast predicts extreme temperatures and/or snow. I’ve lived here almost my entire life, yet I’m […]
Happy New DAY
So… 2016 officially finito, & Betty White is still alive & kicking it, so there’s that… If your 2016 was the dumpster fire that it seemed to be for most people -based on what I’ve seen via social media, anyway- then you’re no doubt glad to have awoken this morning to a fresh start: the […]
All That Glitters Is NOT Gold
Well, I’m here writing, and you’re here reading, so it looks like we both survived yet another holiday season- yay, us! I love putting my all into creating a special holiday experience for my family; I really do. I love decorating the house so that it feels inviting and cozy. Though I dread the actual […]
