I actually just had to consult with Professor Google on what exactly Calgon is. It’s body fragrance…who knew?! I always assumed it was some sort of lotion for muscle pain similar to IcyHot or Bengay. I was way off. Yesterday was a rough day. I’ll mercifully spare you the details, but it was a knot […]

Alternately titled: My Super Lame Post – I have nothing ground breaking to say today. I probably shouldn’t even be posting. But I’m a blogging junkie so I feel the need to subject you to all kinds of random. I’m compelled. – I’m sorry. – I’ve gotten two solid nights sleep in a row. Break […]

A Wisp of a Girl
June 16, 2011 by
I see her clearly – a wisp of a girl. Thirteen. Awkward. All knees and elbows, teetering between innocence and angst. She is loved well, but a certain enemy awaits. She doesn’t know it and isn’t prepared for it. And she falls. “You’re fat,” someone says to her. The wisp of a girl, without an […]

What if you and your kids could all enjoy movie night together? It’s a scene that is familiar to all moms. You sit down on the couch with your young ones, excited to enjoy a little downtime together. You flip on the TV and begin channel surfing, looking for the perfect program to all enjoy […]

June 6, 2011 by
I am officially one more year older as of Saturday. I am 29. Stop laughing. I have to tell my children that because the two youngest can’t say their “Th” sound, which means “Th” sounds like “F” so when they say my age they place me well into a decade that I’m not prepared to […]
