Writer’s Workshop. The Neverending Story.

April 19, 2012

When #3 was born I seriously thought he was going to be just like his brothers.  You know, sorta. I knew he’d have some bits that were uniquely him, but I figured he’d be about their size, with pretty much the same hair, and a similar-ish personality.  I assumed he’d, like his brothers, be super [...]

Wordful Wednesday. Teaching Kids to Save the Earth.

April 18, 2012

We try to live an earth friendly life year round. Little things that don’t seem like huge inconveniences to us, but that I know make a difference in the grand scheme of things. We are sort of a big deal when it comes to recycling and I take pride in the fact that each week, [...]

April 17, 2012

Can you believe that I, lover of all things cupcake, was a red velvet virgin?! I know.  It’s insane. Well, I officially took care of that this weekend when I went on a sweet treat baking spree and tried my hand at red velvet, cream cheese icing topped, cupcakes. I pretty much baked myself into [...]

Dude Mom Monday. Shirts for Dude Moms & Other Awesome People.

April 16, 2012

It’s been ages since I’ve featured some of my favorite Dude Moms around the Internets. That’s craziness! But, with trying to save lives while also living a normal one and spending my evenings with 5 Shades if Grey (yeah, I’m reading it again, what’s it to ya), I’ve just been a little bit neglectful of [...]

You guys know how I love on some accessories. I think they have the power to make an outfit. Even if you can’t afford to update a wardrobe between seasons so much, you can do simple things like changing your accessories to make your look more relevant. Something like a lighter scarf…   Winter to [...]

Writer’s Workshop. This is for the Players in the Hood.

April 12, 2012

I live in a wonderful neighborhood. We moved into our home in 2006 and we had no idea then that we would grow to love this community of people so much. Especially the community on my street. We have 4th of July block parties, and New Year’s Eve parties, and even we’re-freakin-snowed-in-again-maybe-I-hate-it-here blizzard parties too! [...]

Wordful Wednesday.Going Medieval.

April 11, 2012

I live in a house filled with heroes. Type, not always determined. Sometimes they’re ninjas.  Sometimes they’re pirates (the good kind).  Sometimes they’re Power Rangers, or super heroes, or just plain old good guys. No matter the physical appearance, or the costume they’ve chosen to don for the afternoon, The Dudes have a thing for [...]

Dumb Mom’s Guide. How to Embrace Spring Cleaning.

April 10, 2012

I am not a super clean person. Calm down, Judgy McJudgerton. I’m not saying I’m all is that-a-rat-in-your-crack-house filthy or anything. I’m just saying that I don’t necessarily feel obligated to clean things on a regular or semi-regular basis unless they are alive or centrally located in the house and visibly soiled on a day [...]

Help Save Dumb Mom’s Kidneys with Moments in Frames.

April 9, 2012

Well, um, sort of. Let me back up a bit… Five years ago this month I discovered I have a form of kidney disease called IgA Nephropathy. I discovered it by mistake really; through a compulsory physical for my then-new job at the hospital. I ignored the indicators that they implored me to seek counsel [...]
