Works For Me Wed: “It’s the Most Wonderful Time… of the Year”

I‘ll tell you what works for me — THE below Commercial. GENIUS. The most classic line heard today: “Today is the BEST DAY OF THE SUMMER!!!” Said by — WHO? No other than — another Mom Said — WHERE? At the Bus Stop I could not have said it better myself. Kids’ First Day of [...]

He Said: “Patience is a Virtue”

There are times that I feel like I’m married to two women.  On most days, I’m married to the superhero known as ”NormalGirl.”  You know…the girl that has it all together, a great mom, an even better wife and friend, can leap empty bottles of champagne in a single bound.  She can handle any and all situations, [...]

She Said: “Patience is a Virtue” (I never got that Memo…)

A few months ago I prided myself on innately knowing the prime opportunity to harvest the “perfect” zit. If you weren’t a reader back in January, click here to see what the hell I’m talking about.

Other women on Sarah’s (love her!) In the Trenches of Motherhood’s site linked up and did a fabulous job recapping Bloggy Boot Camp; I’m not going to double dip (and potentially bore/scare away those who could give a flippin’ fly about this-loser’ish-thing-they-call-blogging-however-THEY-THEMSELVES-STILL-check-others’-blogs-religiously-and-can’t-stop-because-they-want-to-escape-their-everyday-monotony-and-sometimes-get-filled-up-with-thought-provoking-content-that-is-often-insightful-but-sometimes-trashy). So, I thought a quick, painless, sticky-note recap was in order. Before I [...]

Works-for-Me-Wednesday: Cute lunch cards 2 let kids know u love ‘em!

I had lunch with my daughter yesterday, and saw that one of the little girls we were sitting with had been sent in with a love note, from her mom. It made me feel like a terrible mommy (albeit, it was scribbled on a napkin), as I’ve only done that (like) once this year. I [...]
