Writer’s Workshops. Why Mom Lies.

May 3, 2012

I value honesty.  I swear. Growing up, Mimi was all about being honest no matter what.  She always said, “If I can’t trust you, I can’t love you.” Or something like that.  I may not be able to remember exactly what she said, because my listening to her was sketchy at best, but I can [...]

Wordful Wednesday. On Finding a Stylist to Love On.

May 2, 2012

Well, guys. It’s finally happened. After years of trying.  A number of unsatisfying flings. Time I can never get back; effort I could barely muster; heartache, embarrassment, frustration, and tears. Actually, a ridiculous amount of tears now that I think about it. I’ve finally found him. My soulmate hair stylist! Hi name is Moses.  He’s [...]

Dumb Mom’s Guide to Wrecked Teeth. When to Take Your Kid to the Orthodontist.

April 30, 2012

#1 started wearing his first set of braces just after he celebrated his 8th birthday. Eight years old and he was rockin’ a pretty substantial metal mouth; an expander on the top (and yeah, I wore one and it really is about as painful as it sounds) and four brackets on the bottom. He wore [...]

BList: Best Bloggers for Good.

April 30, 2012

I have only just recently begun to realize the power of blogging for good. Sure, I dabbled in the occasional PSA in the past in which I ranted a bit about something I thought was annoying or unjust in an effort to convince you that you should agree with me always. But, before Moments in [...]

Formerly Frumpy Friday. Flat-tabulous!

April 27, 2012

I love wearing my Crocs. They are the fur lined kind that are all soft and comfy inside. They are worn in just perfectly so they sorta fit my feet like hideously-unfashionable-but-insanely-comfortable foot gloves. Ahhhh, happiness. I wear them every chance I get. When I am at home.  With no plans of any sort to [...]

Wordful Wednesday. Instagram is My Happy Place.

April 25, 2012

DO NOT READ ANOTHER THING OR LINK A SINGLE POST UNTIL YOU GO AND LEAVE A COMMENT TO HELP SAVE MY BUM KIDNEYS.  UNLESS YOU DON’T CARE AT ALL, AND THEN, BY ALL MEANS, READ ON (hows that for a guilt trip?!)… I spent this morning editing photos of other families… Beautiful people with beautiful [...]

Dumb Mom’s Guide to Blogging for Good.

April 24, 2012

So I got these trash bags over here to try out* and, while they are great and all, I can’t really even pretend to be excited by the collection and disposal of garbage. I mean, sure, it’s a scintillating topic when you’re able to come up with an awesomely earth friendly way to do it; [...]

Dude Mom Life. When to Buy a Kid a Cell Phone.

April 23, 2012

Last week while the big Dudes and I were sitting in the stands reading on my iPad and playing DS sorta kinda watching #3 at gymnastics, #2 came up to me and informed me that he and his brother were planning to pool the money in their piggie banks in order to purchase an iPhone. [...]

TGIPinterest. Earth Friendly Fashion for Eco Gangstas.

April 20, 2012

Or something like that. Pretty much I just like being a suburban mom gangsta.  In skinny jeans. Clearly I have a thing for oxymoron’s. And being ridiculous. And saving the Earth by finding new uses for old crap. And hoarding. I lie. I actually hate hoarding, but as someone who lives with a borderline hoarder [...]
