Are you on Instagram? Do you wonder how people get all those cool effects onto their photos? (In case you aren’t familiar with Instagram, it’s kind of like Facebook or Twitter but you use pictures for your updates.) I really resisted instagram for a long time. Mostly because it offended my artistic sensibilities that all […]
So do you think you’re talented? Completely missed out in the giving-of-talents? Maybe somewhere in between? That’s what I’m talking about today over at Segullah. It’s especially for those who are “not so talented”. P.S. The great giveaway (featuring my talent for making not-very-important things) ends tonight at midnight. Enter here!
A couple of weeks ago one of my readers,Tiffny, pointed out that my blog has been really gross lately; weevils, lice, rats . . . Yep, I’m most definitely guilty. It’s a strange thing when you blog; there is the group of bloggers who feel like they should present a really lovely, wonderful life because […]
I’ve attempted to see Bright Star twice now, but I finally managed to see it last night. Mister and I were a few minutes late for it last week, so we decided to go see something else instead. I’m glad we didn’t stay and miss the beginning because the opening sequence is gorgeous. I called […]
With six children between the ages of 4 and 14, my house is the scene of lots of noise, lots of laughter (and tears), and lots of energy. I love it that way and try to be the best mother I can be. It’s the grass-roots way I have chosen to change the world. Taking […]
Don’t most girls like accessories? I think we do. Especially since accessories always fit. You can just have given birth and weight the most you will ever weigh, and your necklace will still fit just fine. I love that. I happen to be a fan of cheap accessories. I’m not the kind of girl who’ll […]
Whew! I survived the Christmas gauntlet! Yes, the actual holiday hasn’t happened yet, but all the crazy stuff is over; the only thing that’s left is run-of-the-mill present wrapping and grocery shopping. Because I’m an absolute idiot I decided to make the presents for my mother-in-law, sister and sister-in-law. I was supposed to do this […]
Today’s my birthday. I’m not a huge fan of spending my birthday at home because then I just end up cooking and cleaning and doing all the normal mom things I do every single day. I like to spend my birthday being spoiled and doing nothing more difficult than decided what to order at a […]
I haven’t posted for a while. I’ve been in New York! Without kids! Do I even have to tell you how wonderful it was? Mister, who you may or may not have heard, was not terribly excited to go at first (I did write a spiteful blog post about it, but deleted it the next […]

Well, it’s another Makeupless Monday. I’m very sorry but this weekend has been hellish. Mister found out on Friday that he will be losing his job. Suck, suck and double suck. Please remember us in your prayers. Hopefully we’ll find a job soon and in the meantime we’ll be happy, strong and positive (and not […]
