Let’s talk about fashion first: Watching the Oscars is a bit lame when you don’t have cable. You can’t switch between four channels to make sure you don’t miss a single dress on the red carpet. Instead I had to sort through pictures on the internet this morning to see if there were some stunners […]
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 […]
I just saw my favorite movie of 2009 (at least through August). It was the charming, funny, ever so creative and slightly painful (emotionally, that is) movie 500 Days of Summer. The writing is great, the music is wonderful, and the story is probably all too familiar for every one of us. Mister loved it […]

You remember my post about the phases of blog relationships? Well, this week I had a chance to go all the way with Jennifer, the (soon to be) Baby Making Machine. She was as cute and funny and darling as she is on her blog. It was wonderful and I had a great time (hope […]
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 […]
For years I noticed the Sonia Kashuk line at Target (my second home). But because I was silly and picky about makeup I never tried any of it. But one day a couple of years ago I happened to notice that the Sonia Kashuk mascara had a built in eyelash brush and at a pretty […]
Today for Fess-up Friday we’re going to talk about kitchen disasters. My biggest disaster had to do with an egg. A hard-boiled egg. I made several in a pot of water for my kids and I. When I peeled the first egg I realized it wasn’t quite done. I’d heard that you shouldn’t put eggs […]
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!)
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 decided not to go with the Mountain Dew cupboard pulls (I know, such a pity). Instead I’m thinking of these (I need all the shininess I can get so I’m going with chrome. Mission impossible, by the way. All cabinet hardware comes in nickel, these days. If that’s not what you want, too bad.) […]
The perpetrator (also a victim of his own crime): Goodbye hair. We will miss you!
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 […]
You guys! How could I almost have forgotten? This week is my two year blogiversary! I can’t believe I’m still around writing all this crap. I guess I am not a quitter. Actually I have the opposite problem; I stick around long after I should have gone/quit/stopped. Which is good news for my husband, […]
