  So guess what?   It’s almost Halloween time!!   And since Halloween is right around the corner, I thought we’d recap some of the mad delicious  treats I’ve whipped up so you can get your bake on this weekend.   Unless you’re like me,...

  You guys are a tricky bunch, you know it?   Since posting the Nerf Cupcakes (which followed up the Tangled Cupcakes) I’ve gotten several more cupcake requests.  And seriously, you know I can’t say no.  I mean…. I guess I could but man, is it hard. ...

  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...

  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...

  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...

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...

  So today is the day where we talk about my baby Jon David starting first grade this morning and I cry and you give me lots of hugs and candy.   Or money. That would probably help a little.   For some crazy reason, I thought Kindergarten would be the worst.  ...

  Sometimes I really wish I could meet the person who decides what is and isn’t acceptable to talk about to people you barely know. Because for real, a few changes need to be made. Like how is it NOT okay for me to tell someone that their clothes smell like cat pee or...

Once upon a time, many years ago (okay, like 3 years ago) my little boy had a pirate birthday party. And because I am such a sweet, nice, caring mom, I made him dress up like this: And maybe the hat annoyed him a little and the wig was just a TEENSY bit itchy and he wasn’t...

When you’re the mom who can make cool snacks, everyone assumes that you’re one of those people who really has their life in order. I can assure you, that is not the case.  Not with me, anyways. All these fun treats are meant to distract from the fact that I have no...

Dear Fashion, Beauty, and Gossip Magazines: Let me start off by saying that I’m a huge fan. Honestly, I don’t even know how many magazine subscriptions I have. You just make it so darn easy. Eighty-seven percent off the cover price, and a free tote bag too? What. A....
