Dear friends, This is my friend Denise. You may know her as The Cottage Chick. I am tickled and blessed to know her as both. Denise was my friend before we had the interwebz in common. To be honest, to have a local friend who I can talk the talk with has been SO STINCKIN’ [...]
Hot Mess Peeves {Guest vlog by Lucrecer Braxton of Art Slam!}
Lu. Our relationship was love at first sight. Right, Lu? You walked into our hotel room and I looked at you like this: {photo credit: Angry Julie!} That is my Lu standing there next to me, being all patient and tolerant. Actually I think she had just pinched my butt. Or not. But she totally [...]
Tips for Airline Travel with Children {Guest Post by Michelle of Falafel and the Bee!}
My Michelle. She is a most wonderful woman. Creative. Funny. Highly allergic. I met Michelle probably close to two hands worth of fingers ago. She has become a very dear friend. Out youngests have forged a very sweet relationship. Our youngests… during one of their first playdates. I remember this day like it was yesterday… [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday: Meeting Goals and VIPeeps!
Yep. SUCCESS! Totally basking in all kinds of glory over here. *eyes cross* This totally confirms why I am such a fan of setting a very low bar… I have never been good at high jumping. And also paying off debt. I could explain why this alert from Mint is not ver accurate, but yadda, yadda [...]
Have you ever been in a fashion show…

I have lost 7.5 pounds in the last month.
Lost? Actually… not so much. I kicked those babies to the curb. For now, at least. Sure, I don’t know where they went, but I didn’t “lose” them either. Losing is unintentional… I didn’t wake up one morning to find them suddenly not there. Not that I am at my goal weight. Not that I [...]
I blame social media, and also motherhood.
So this is what I have come to. Taking pictures of the post office floor, and posting to Instagram. Classic avoidance behavior in these, the days of social media. I was making haste into the post office today. No time to waste. Until I saw her. A friend, but can I really call her a [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday: Word. To your muthah.
I know. Mother’s Day was yesterday. But just because the day is through, that doesn’t mean I am through. Not. At. All. Lucy gave me the card she made at school and it was SO cute I HAD to share it. In the spirit of full disclosure: she wrote very nice things and I want [...]
