As I was whisking milk into my pudding mix the other day (you want to experience the longest 2 minutes evah…make instant pudding), I was thinking about Copycat Julie. My very first frienemy. The bane of my kindergarten existence. And I was thinking that it was really too...

What to do when you live in the country and a strange man knocks on your door at 8 am. 1.  Army crawl over to the nearest window and raise yourself just enough to peer over the window ledge.  Do not, under any circumstances, move the curtains.  2. Once you have confirmed that not...

So this week is the start of what I’m calling “Kindergarten Boot Camp”. And in case you are wondering, no, it will not involve me screaming in my son’s face while he runs in the rain wearing a 50 pound bag of gear. But it might involve those tires that you...

So, I’ve always had a secret dream of being Amish. But I don’t want to be Amish for forever.  Just for a little while. You know, see what it’s like to live a simpler life and all that. No worrying about who is stalking my Facebook profile, or wondering if DJ...

So, I’ve been wanting to do a tutorial for awhile now.         Because people like to learn stuff. Right?     But I’ve kinda been putting it off because I knew that a tutorial would require taking an insane number of pictures…and...

You’ve Got Mail is one of my all time favorite movies. I know that it’s cheesy.  And really, Greg Kinnear is so way hotter than Tom Hanks. In real life, Tom Hanks is about as sexy as a pair of Crocs. But, I absolutely love that book store that Meg Ryan owns–The...

Cheesecake is one of those desserts that people go absolutely crazy over. I mean, straight up nuts.  You could say that cheesecake is kinda the Justin Bieber of desserts.  And just like with Justin Bieber, I never really realized how awesome it was until I gave it a chance....

I’m not really known for making healthy food choices. I mean, I pretty much live off of Pop Tarts.  And in case you didn’t know, people whose diet consists of stuff like Little Debbies and Hot Tamales get hungry very frequently. Like, about every 3 hours. This...

One thing I’ve learned in the 6 months since I’ve started this blog is that not everyone knows exactly what a blog is. And that explaining what a blog is is pretty much impossible.  “And what do you do?” “Um, well, I’m a stay at home...

My favorite part of Summer is finally here: Big Brother.  I mean really, what is better than watching days of people sleeping, eating, and gossiping condensed down to about 40 minutes of craziness. And hellooo, I get that the show is total trash and has pretty much no redeeming...

So, the other day I decided to be a complete and total idiot and take the kids school shopping. Have you ever taken a 5 year old boy and a 12 year old girl to look for school clothes? I thought it would be “fun”. Because I’m super smart like that. The...

What to do when confronted with a very large brown spider in your laundry room: 1. Scream (obviously) 2. Call your husband at work to see how far away he is from home. Once you determine that he is an hour away and not willing to make the drive back to the house, bemoan the fact...

I’m pretty sure that more couples would stay married if women would stop sending their husbands to the store. Men basically have no place in a grocery store unless they are either single or running in to get a six pack of beer, a jar of barbecue sauce, or something manly...

I have to tell you that I’ve been losing my mind a little bit. Which sucks because I kind of need it. To think and stuff. I blame the loss of my mind partly on the fact that I’m in my sixth year as a stay at home mom. Which is a lot of days home with a kid. And keep...
