I missed the boat posting something mushy about my husband on Valentine’s Day. Truthfully, we aren’t that big on the holiday. My card to him this year had the word “fart” actually printed on it. I’m so serious. And it was perfect for him. We get bombarded with family birthdays in February – our sister-in-law, [...]

I am constantly playing catch-up in the blogosphere, the Twitter-verse and in my laundry room. Catch-up, catch-up, catch-up. Life is such a rat race, aint it? Every now and then I stumble upon an article or a blog post that makes me tear up, either with laughter or just real, genuine “I know exactly how [...]

Beyonce announcing her pregnancy was a blog-worthy event in my life back in August, so it only seems natural that I in some way acknowledge the fact that Queen B gave birth to her little girl this past weekend. They delivered on a private floor of a New York hospital that cost over a million [...]

Every morning, as stay-at-home mom-ish as this is, I watch the Today Show. Part for the news, part to laugh at Matt’s bad jokes, part to check out with they wear and part because, despite hearing the weather every 10 minutes from 6-7am, I usually have no idea what the weather is supposed to be [...]

One of the aspects of being a mother that I have really enjoyed is learning from other, more experienced moms. Not just any mom will do for advice, though. If you aren’t careful, you get stuck over lunch listening to how everything you are doing as a mother is wrong and your child is surely [...]
the sunshine of my life

I’ve certainly made it no secret over the course of my two and a half years of blogging that I love my husband. I’ve also made it no secret that I have no idea how he handles how demanding, quasi-insane, always late and often moody I am, either. He laughs at my jokes and reminds [...]

I was outside during C’s nap last week spray painting mason jars for Halloween decorations and attempting to clean the railings of our front porch today. I surprise even myself sometimes. It was a gorgeous day in central North Carolina – sunny, mid-70′s, a slight breeze. I was totally caught up in my projects and [...]

Truth: I love Disney movies, gay men and laughing so hard I cry. Throw them all together, and you get this. It’s amazing. You can thank me after you wipe the mascara tears out from under your eyes. I also love Brittany Gibbons. She’s not a gay man and she’s never been in a Disney [...]
what is real?

Two years ago today this was one of my first blog posts. I re-read it this week and found it more relevant than ever. Enjoy. From “The Velveteen Rabbit” by Margery Williams “What is REAL?” asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to [...]

It’s been a year and a half since I made up my first list of things that make me incredibly happy. I thought it was worth revisiting given how much has changed since May’09. This list was originally inspired by the happy lists found on The Rockstar Diaries. Head on over there to read others [...]
