  So, remember last week when I made Tangled cupcakes because a reader emailed me and promised me fruit snacks if I would?   Well.  She didn’t send me the fruit snacks, but that’s neither here nor there (in her defense, I didn’t give her my address...

  Most of you know that I live with two boys.   Two boys who sweat, have beef jerky breath, and watch TV shows where people do pointless things like eat leaves and catch fish with their bare hands or tackle each other.   Dumb.   Anyways, it’s because of...

  So today is the day that I tell you one of my family secrets.   And seriously, this secret is either going to make you hate me, or connect with me on such a deep emotional level that you’ll come over and watch Zoolander with me and we can braid each others hair....

  Dear Halloween Costume Inventor of the Land:   You are in big fat trouble, sir.   Seriously.  You are disgusting.   Things have gotten to the point where I liken the “adult” section of the Halloween Costume Catalogs to the Sports Illustrated...

  One thing that a lot of people assume about bloggers is that we are all very computerey.   I assure you, this is not the case.   I am good at buying stuff on the internet.  I can out-Google 9 out of 10 people.  And those pictures that leaked of so-and-so or...

  As my son gets older, I am starting to realize that I’m outnumbered.   I live with two boys.   TWO BOYS.   And they are gross.   Also, they don’t get me.  At all.   I’m always all making sure we have snuggly throw pillows and...

Seven years ago today, you entered the world.   Life had not always been easy for me.  It was full of struggle, and heartache, and tough lessons.  But on this day, seven years ago…everything clicked. I understood who I was supposed to be.   And when I looked at...

For most of my childhood, A Witch was my costume of choice on Halloween.   Boring, I know.  But it was safe, hard to mess up, and there were no grand expectations.  I mean…it is a witch.  As long as you’ve got a pointy hat and black clothing, you’re set....

My son’s favorite Disney character is not Winnie the Pooh. Or Lightning McQueen. Not even Buzz Lightyear. It is…Jack Skellington.  From The Nightmare Before Christmas. Two years ago, when Jon David was 4, we went to Disney World for our Summer vacation.  It was a...

  Yesterday started out just like any other day.   I woke my son up as annoyingly and obnoxiously as possible.  Blinking overhead light? Check.  Armpit tickle? Check Check.  Yank off his covers?  Don’t mind if I do.   I had a Pop Tart and Diet Coke for...

One thing I have learned about being a short female in society is that people are generally not very intimidated by me. Also, they call me “honey” and “sweetie” and nicknames like that a lot, which I really don’t mind so much. It makes me feel all...
