Try It…You Might Like It

I admit that one of the bigger concerns my husband and I had when deciding to start a family was what our little bundle of joy would do to our social life. Don’t get me wrong; our dance cards were never jam-packed every weekend. What I’m talking about is the simple act of sitting across [...]

The Grass is Greener

I pretty much suck at making New Year’s resolutions. Well, let me clarify. I’m good at making them but I can’t keep them. Oh, I can keep them for a month or two, but invariably, I degenerate into my nasty old habits. For example, for the past ten years, I’ve resolved to lose weight. Guess [...]

No Village Idiots Here…

I’ve never been a big fan of women in general.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Let’s face it – women are usually pretty catty. I do understand that saying that may implicate me to be catty as well.
But if I am being honest, in the past I have found that if you get a [...]

Carry Your Laptop in Style

I love love love this laptop case. I bought it a month or two ago on etsy.com. If you’ve never visited that site, it’s really a must. They have awesome hand-made stuff of all sorts. This laptop case came from Janine King Designs.

Getting off the crazy train…

 

I have never been happier for a New Year to usher in.
There is nothing like the gift of a fresh start to help you shake off something like viral pneumonia, RSV and Pink Eye in your household over the holidays.
Cosmic Perspective? Perhaps….
As you know, I had visions of making Christmas morning the most spectacular event [...]

On Display Until March

Lately, it seems that no matter where I go, a conversation similar to the following takes place.
Stranger: Aawww, look at you! When are you duuuueee?
Me: March
Stranger: March? Really? Oh, you’re going to be huge!
(My husband just read this last line and said, “Come on, someone DID NOT say that to you!” And unbelievable as it [...]

Do These Jeans Make My Butt Look Fat?

A month or two ago I needed a new pair of jeans. I went to the mall, spent about 5 minutes finding a pair that sort of fit, and bought them. End of story.
Well, not quite.
Today I went to the mall with my husband and son. My husband commented on the tight, hip hugger [...]
