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 […]
In case you’re new to this blog, I’m pretty religious. But I’m not goofy about it (I hope!) It’s a big part of my life so I talk about it here on my blog. And of course if it weirds you out you can unsubscribe. Or just come back when I write another snotty post […]
There are a lot of kids around the country starting school soon. Mine are, including Jasper–the last of my six babies–who is heading off to Kindergarten. It really signifies the end of an era. The end of me being the mother of very little children. This is what it boils down to: I have had […]
The one thing that I want you to learn about make-up is to be open to change. We all knew those women when we were growing up who looked like relics of the sixties and seventies because they were afraid to try something new and go for a more modern look. We don’t want to […]
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’m sorry I didn’t post this earlier, but this is today’s Groupon for Austin (don’t tell me you aren’t slightly interested!) Did you notice the name of the place offering this class? The Brass Ovaries. For reals. You’ve only got a few more hours until this one expires, ladies.
The perpetrator (also a victim of his own crime): Goodbye hair. We will miss you!
I haven’t posted on my blog in two weeks. That’s my record. It was due to a couple of things: I was in Utah/Colorado/New Mexico/Texas for over a week; most of the time driving or having fun. Then I came home and realized the my poor laptop is just about deceased. I’m still pouting about […]
I got a little carried away with PhotoBooth today. “You had better clean up those crayons/blocks/goldfish crackers NOW” “3:00??? The kids will be home in five minutes!” “What shall I have for breakfast this morning? Cookie dough or Pringles?” “Arianne, you are never going to believe what Mom said now!” “Teach Cub Scouts tomorrow? Uh. […]
You are stranded on a desert(ed) isle for one month. There are fresh water and vitamins. What would you choose to eat? One food One sweet One beverage Me? Bacon (crispy), chocolate chip cookie dough, milk (cold!)
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 […]
