My Name Is Jenny
It’s been a little crazy around here. Emphasis on “a little” actually meaning “a lot”. {These are not my post-its. I need a post-it to remind myself to get more post-its, but I am out of post-its, so…} {photo credit: kakachu on flickr} Today, as I opened my laptop for the millionteenth time, I couldn’t [...]

Make We Laugh (or gag) Monday: A Most Unfortunate Picture
Remember my one story about the chocolate frosted honey bun? The story about the time I was tearing into one while sitting at a red light? And… oh… you will find all the sexy *ahem* details here. Well, I tried to find a picture of a chocolate frosted honey bun in the onlinez for that [...]
Little Treasures
I was digging through my wallet. And a surprise little treasure fell into my lap. In the “mommy business”, this is what might be referred to as a “paycheck”.

He's Mine. Allllll Mine. But Not the Cutlets.

Make We Laugh Monday: With My Hands I Can…

Spray glitter. Text my BFF. Update my Facebook status. Sprinkle sprinkles on cupcakes. Write in the sand. Write a blog post… But [...]
Honest Observations
Kids. If anyone is gonna give it to you straight, it’s gonna be your kids. No black too black. No white too white. So secret safe. No room for ego. If your arm is jiggly… you WILL get called out. If you have been working on the computer too much, your son might say something [...]
Make We Laugh Monday: She Wants to be a Mom

I, along with my fellow Every Little Bottom ambassadors had some time to welcome Ellen to the program and talk to her about why she chose to be involved. Ellen is a [...]
