Uh, I don’t know how to tell this to my Facebook Friends but I don’t care which Disney Princess they are. Or the results to questionnaires telling me what their ideal cut of diamond is, which 70’s T.V. character they are, the Woman from the Bible they most resemble, or the breakfast cereal/ice cream flavor/zoo […]
I worked until my second child was a few months old but I made sure that I only worked hours that Mister was home so we didn’t need to put the kids in daycare. One day when India was a baby I forgot to restock the formula before I went to work but I figured […]

Oh Boy, do I love Easter! I love the colors. I love eggs and rabbits and birds. And Jesus, of course. It’s such a cheerful, lovely holiday. This year, though, I’m up against something new. You know I love my kids in matching outfits, right? I bought cute striped polo shirts for the boys, and […]

I probably write about concealers more than I write about anything else. Which is because I have two ghastly dark holes in my face. My eyes can be found in there but mostly it’s a shadowy zone that I have been cursing since I was a young pre-teen. Concealers are the one make-up item I […]
One day last year I was killing myself on the rowing machine (I have realized that I hate HATE HATE running), watching Netflix. I clicked on a show called Addiction. It’s a really good, graphic non-fiction show about–surprise!–addicts and alcoholics. The woman on the show was talking about how low she had fallen because of […]
Hey, my house didn’t burn down last night! Great news! There are wildfires going all over the areas surrounding Austin (several miles away, but still . . . ) and we have many friends who have been spending the last couple of nights in hotels. We are far enough away that fire isn’t an immediate […]
Hello and welcome to my newest blog feature: How-To Tuesday (or maybe I should call it “How-Tue Tuesday”. No? Too obnoxious?) I am going to spill my brain every Tuesday and show you how to do something that might just be new to you. I’ve got a few ideas up my sleeve but if you […]
Ahh, pink cheeks. They have been popular as long as women have been alive. You’re welcome to pinch yours whenever you’d like some color (just like in all those Jane Austen movies). Or you could just use blush (my mom always called it “rouge” when I was young.) Really, it’s something that everyone should be […]
It occurred to me a couple of days ago that Easter is this coming Sunday. I mean I knew that. There are giant bags of candy hidden in my closet. (I’m on top of the really important things.) But I kind of forgot about the whole Easter dress thing. Which is kind of a big, […]
The Kindergarten birthday party circuit has begun. And now that I’m on my sixth kindergartener I have made a decision: if I can’t drop my kid off and leave the party then we won’t be coming. Sorry. Your child’s birthday is not important to me. Isn’t it enough that we bought a present? Asking me […]
