You Like Me, You Really Like Me…
It was a day like any other, filled with grocery shopping, kids, and ponderings on what to make for dinner. I came home from doing all three of those things, at once. My husband had a solemn look on his face and wanted to speak to me in the foyer, which I thought was weird [...]
Gratitude
Sometimes with the hustle and bustle of the holidays, we forget to take time to appreciate what is really important in life. Buying the most gifts, throwing the best holiday dinner, or having a house look like it came out of Martha Stewart’s magazine is irrelevant in the whole scheme of things. What really matters [...]
Recall Mania – Time to Get the Lead Out!
Another day, another recall. So what else has LEAD? I know I can speak for many parents when I say, ?oWhat the hell?? Really, what the heck is going on in China right now? And what?Ts next on the list? Baby Einstein? Oh wait, they are on the list, their color blocks were recalled in [...]
What The Hell Time Is It?
I hate daylight savings time. Let me repeat that, I HATE daylight savings time. Nope, I still do not feel better.

Ever since we bought a minivan (which was only 2 weeks ago), my husband has been talking about going on a family road trip. I think he has visions of the four of us happily driving along while singing songs, playing 20 questions or simply just bonding. I think he needs to think again.

Grocery Shopping Blues
If I could take a pill that would supply me with every ounce of nutrition that I needed, I would take it in a heartbeat. That way I would never have to worry or think about, what the hell I’m going to eat today. Oh wait, that’s not going to do me any good. I [...]
It was a Chocolate Kind of Day
Ever have one of those days where you just need chocolate? Where you can’t scarf it down fast enough? And you’re not even that picky what kind it is? You’ll even eat Nestle morsels that you were saving for the cookies you never have time to make? Well, I have those days. I had them [...]
