I noticed this ad on some site I was visiting and it caught my eye. It’s distasteful on so many levels. Obama has asked mothers to go back to school? Really? I don’t recall hearing that anywhere. And why are we supposed to be going back to school? So we can try to find employment […]
Yeah, I’m making all my Christmas gifts this year. No, not for my kids! Like I can make an ipod! We’re talking extended family gifts. I’m over at Segullah today discussing why I would do this. The stuffed dog head is just the beginning . . . .
You know how sometimes you just need a good laugh? Engrish.com is always up to the task. The Chinese and Japanese grasp on English can be too funny.
OK, so it’s only one girl. And it’s not exactly the dress Maria von Trapp was enivisioning. But here is sweet little Ada amongst the bluebonnets. She turns eight on Sunday and this is the dress she’ll wear to the baptism (not during the actual baptism because it’s blue and she has to wear white […]

Yeah, have fun! Because I’m headed down to Mexico for my birthday cruise. I will be hanging with an elite group of superpowered mothers. We will not cook food, drive anywhere, sort laundry, make beds or listen to quarelling. We will try not to feel too bad about the six hapless husbands left behind to […]
Remember to vote for me EVERY DAY so I can win that snazzy new craft desk from the Original Crafbox. (clickie here. It takes five seconds.) And if that desk weren’t cool enough, take a look at this: It’s a combination drink holder/trash can (something this smart had to have been invented by a woman.) […]
As you know, Arabella turned eight last week. Normally that would mean she’s getting baptized soon*, but we’ve decided to wait until we go to Utah in July so that her family and best friend will be able to attend. This leaves me a couple more months to find the perfect baptism dress. I have […]
This is a quote by Constance Spry who was THE most important florist ever. She singlehandedly changed the flower-arranging world in the first half of the 20th century. She was quite a remarkable woman and I adore this quote of hers. Illustration by Julia Rothman

Today is our school’s Homecoming. The football game is this evening and the dance is tomorrow. The game is, obviously, the big deal but there’s another big deal: the Homecoming Mum. That’s mum as in Chrysanthemum, not mum as in mother. It’s basically a Corsage of Insanity. They’re a tradition all over Texas but not […]
