Easter playdate
Posted in friends, fun on a budget, kiddo, momness, the holidays on April 1, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I was fortunate enough to be able to take a day off this week to enjoy some time with family over the “spring break”. This morning, I hosted a playdate for Keegan and his close buddies so that they could have fun decorating eggs and getting ready for Easter. Most days, I really don’t think [...]
The Semi-Obligatory New Year’s Resolution Post
Posted in life, the holidays on January 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
I really dislike making New Year’s resolutions, because I inevitably set unrealistic expectations for myself and then fail, so essentially they are more “New Year’s Fail Guarantees” than resolutions. So, I am hoping that if I make some VERY realistic “goals” for myself this year, I can see them through Here are my resolutions, I’d [...]
Our Christmas Card: Deleted Scenes
Posted in cheap lazy mommy, confessions, momness, the holidays on January 4, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Don’t you love how once a year we all throw on matching outfits and take a family picture so that we can send out pictures of what we look like to our friends and family, most of whom are already stuck seeing us on a semi-regular basis anyway? Last year, we had lovely family pictures [...]
The time I got locked in Anthropologie…
Posted in randomness, shopping, that's not good, the holidays on December 19, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Last night, an evening of Christmas shopping turned from typical to primetime t.v. plot. I arrived at the mall, it being my payday, to do some much anticipated Christmas shopping for oh, pretty much EVERYONE on my list. No stress there right? When I arrived at 7:45, I was pleasantly surprised to see the holiday [...]
Christmas Pajamas

I have several friends who have a tradition of giving new pajamas to every member of the family on Christmas Eve night. I think it’s a really cute idea, and it’s fun to have something to open that night- plus, let’s just be honest- my make up free Christmas morning photos are going to need [...]

Turkeys before Tanenbaums

Tonight, I had to run into Target to grab three quick things (bacon, sharp cheddar cheese and deodorant, in case you wanted to know) and before I even entered the store, my heart started to race a bit. Not in the usual “Yay! I’m at Target!” kind of way, but in the crap- I’m going [...]

Tasty Tuesday: Sweet and Salty Pumpkin Seeds
Posted in food, recipes, Tasty Tuesday, the holidays on November 4, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I carved pumpkins specifically so that I could retrieve the seeds, to make this recipe I spied in my October Real Simple magazine. Here is the recipe (as it appears on the Real Simple website). I know Halloween has passed, but you should have no trouble finding pumpkins until at least Thanksgiving. If you can’t, [...]
