Why am I always the last to know about anything cool? I thought we were friends. I hate garage sales. And yard sales. I don’t want to go through the hassle of pricing, staging and standing around trying to sell things in my front yard. Especially things that will only bring around 50 cents. Selling […]
Growing Up In The Awesome 80s
As I watched my children play with their tablets I started thinking back to my childhood. I had a great childhood. What an awesome time to grow up. I was inspired to compile a list of the things that I loved as a child. Just to show my kids how cool it really was. 1. […]
Living with Little Boys
Every family is different. In this family the boys greatly outnumber the girls. This is a reality that my daughter and I have learned to accept. Anytime you have three children of the same sex living under one roof, it tends to change the dynamic of the home. Let me explain what it is like […]

Darth Vader Is In This Post. Need I Say More?
My son was home for the second day in a row. All the other kids had gone to school. Even his baby brother was at preschool. It was just Middle Man and Mom. And his stomach bug. I have always felt guilty that he wasn’t the baby for very long. He was only five months […]

I love December. There are so many good things about the last month of the year. The least of which is NOT my birthday. I love my birthday. That is right. Later this week I will turn the big……41. Which is possibly worse than 40 because now when someone asks my age, instead of a […]
Still Resisting The Rainbow Loom? Just Do It.

The Funniest Post You Will Ever Read About Sweater Vests.
And just like that it got cold. I am freezing right now. Why does winter have to come around every single year? I love the holidays. So there is that. Eating too much on Thanksgiving with family and friends. Watching my children’s eyes light up on Christmas morning. I live for that stuff. But what […]
Pedicure Season Is Almost Over And I Am Completely Relieved.
I have only recently realized that I take a lot of pictures of my shoes. If showing off new shoes is wrong, then I don’t want to be right. There is a nip in the air. At least at night anyway. I awake to a cold bedroom now. Which I love. What is happening? Fall […]
