With Mother’s Day fast approaching, there’s a lot of talk about gifts for people such as myself. There are tear jerking Hallmark commercials and even vibrator advertisements for “real women” who all coincidentally look like moms via their age and mom hair (something the Today Show recently told me I am concerned about). We don’t [...]

The Perfect Wedding
Despite my oft complaint, I actually love my husband. In fact, I’ve come to learn that it is in my ability to lovingly complain about him that my feelings for him have deepened. It’s in much the same way my son can wipe his snot on my cheek and I am able smile back at [...]
Honest Scrap
The kind (and intimidatingly ripped) folk at The Butler Way gifted me this nice award. Now my reason for drinking tonight is celebratory instead of an attempt to numb the pain. Yay!
Bloggy awards are generally not the kind that stress shelves with the weight of trophies or clutter the walls with plaques. No, unlike other [...]
Say it with me “Ramps are for Wheels and people with Ambulatory concerns”
That is my stroller. And although I wish I pushed it 26 blocks to and from school with children as light as those pictured, my 5 year old is probably the combined weight of the two shown. It’s my minivan for the sidewalk, just as heavy and just as burdensome on available space.
Once before I [...]
Self Fulfilling Prophecies and the Nasty B’s
I talk to my older sister every day. She was part of my morning routine, along with email and The Today Show until she got herself a job. We used to start each conversation by affirming the qualities we liked in each other. She would ask “What’s up, Nasty?” to which I would respond, “Hey, [...]
Spring!
One time, I was introduced to the fiance of a family member who, upon finding I’d traveled from NY, pinched his eyebrow and nose together as close as he could. With his voice that took over the room, he projected that he’d only driven through once, but hated the city. He detested all the people [...]
UBP After Party
The party is winding down now and I’ve escaped without having to add another notch in my headboard.
I’m just kidding.
I don’t have a headboard.
…Bad joke? No?…maybe?
Anyway, I found a ton of new blogs over the past week.
Three new friendships are:
Five Amazing Minutes – Hilarious and Sentimental? Sign me up!
Army Housewifery – Thoughtful Adventures of life [...]
Family Photography
There is a family photographer that exists within the combined gene pools of my husband and I. It’s me. I love cataloging our lives through digital still frames, and I accept the consequences of floating around like a fly in everyone’s ear, buzzing with the sound of each frozen moment. However, it has come to [...]
Happy 101
I was bestowed this wonderful award, complete with one of my favorite sprinkled indulgences, by Lucy of Lucille in the sky. She is a lover of almond butter and is better than me because she uses cloth diapers.
There are rules to this award and they’re not like the spousal rules of Oscar winning females. No [...]
