"You have to be brave with your life…
… so that others can be brave with theirs.” You MUST watch this video. MUST. It is dynamic. Significant. Moving. Touching. Powerful. Tender. If ever a piece of media reflected a mother’s heart… Last weekend I went to Houston for the Mom 2.0 Summit. This video by Katherine Center was a highlight of my time [...]
Screenshots: Category: SRSLY? and LOL!
Here follows a post all about screenshots. These are select things I see on the Interwebzterhaven that make me LOL or want to text my BFF, “SRSLY???!” Let’s start with The Facebook. Facebook ads to be specific. It’s like Facebook doesn’t even know me. Like, I’m 37. Whatevs. And virtual horse breeding? FB, what did [...]
Good at Stirring and Removing Tags and Stuff
Either I need to expose my kids to more things, or I need to continue harboring them from certifiable Awesome. I think I am going try to keep them from society as much as possible because, right now… they think I am THE SHIZZLE! I love this about me them. For example, I was cutting [...]
Tips For Better Ideas
The following statement may or may not alarm anyone… or may. I’m not gonna judge you: My mind is constantly spinning. Constantly. Like a hamster on a wheel. On uppers. And a caffeine steroid. I can’t sit without doing something, I can’t do without mullling over a rat’s nest of “to-do” items or stringing words [...]
Mom 2.0 Summit – Like A Mountain-Top Experience but Only Higher, Like Maybe A Cloud
This was me the first morning at Mom 2.0 Summit… all wide-eyed and bushy-tailed. Excited much? Clearly, and with good reason. It was the stuff dreams are made of — time away from the kids, time away from the kids, rooms-ful of women (and a few men) talking social media, talking and talking and talking, [...]
Make WE Laugh Monday – Because… I'm Old?
I am going into this with little clue as to what will make We laugh. Really. I blame it on post-conference exhaustion andwhathaveyou. I wasn’t a worker/volunteer there. I had no responsibilities, but I am TIRED. Sure, I could blame the fact that I cleared a whole 12 (give or take) hours of sleep over [...]
I Am A Lucky Girl – Mom 2.0 and My Roomies
Today, I am in heaven. Most likely. At this writing, I am at home, and not in Houston/Heaven (see graphic to the left, Mom 2.0 BABY!!!). But I wanted to have something fresh for you on Friday, and I know me well enough to know that with a day of traveling on Thursday, the only [...]
Lent, Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras and the Inquisition
I decided to give up giving up. What? Aaanywho. I took the kids to the grocery store with me because I love taking my kids into public spaces. Let’s face it, I am a self-punisher. It builds character, and MAN, have I earned my fair share of character in these 10+ years of mothering. Fortunately, [...]
I Think I'm Gonna Post About Valentine's Day
The morning started early as my 7 year old climbed into bed, claiming she couldn’t sleep. I asked if she felt sick, she said, “No.” Heh. Read on…. Then my 4 year old, as she does most mornings.. popped-up her little head from the side of my bed and asked, “Can I snuggle you, Mama?” [...]
Make WE Laugh Monday – Name Change and Blogger Sweatshops
It’s time for a little change. I am turning the M in “Me” upside down. Make ME Laugh Monday is now Make WE Laugh Monday! Why?!!! CUZ. That’s why! And also, I have often struggled with the whole “ME” thing. I’m serious. Shutup. Make Me Laugh Monday has not been about posting things that make [...]
