  • My Dollar Tree Treasures (and total fails).

    <<<If you missed my segment this morning on FOX 45 check it out by clicking HERE. >>> So taking children out in public is quiet the experience. Taking two toddler boys into the Dollar Tree is what I would imagine wheeling a drunk octopus who thinks it’s on “supermarket sweep” through an endless tunnel of…

  • Identity Crisis.

    When I was a kid, I would lock myself in my room, roll up a t-shirt to look like a tube top, and I’d put on lipstick that I wasn’t allowed to wear. I would turn on Mandy Moore “Candy” and lip sync and dance for hours on end, only stopping to  do a quick…

  • My shower curtain is see through.

    To put it mildly, I’m never alone. It’s not completely unusual to open my eyes after a good shampoo and rinse to see two tiny figures gazing back at me. In Hollywood world, this sounds like the beginning to a classic Hitchcock film, but nope. This is my life. You know how you always see…

  • Snow dreams

    “This is it Elliot! It’s happening just like we dreamed!”             -Theo explaining the snow to little brother Elliot.

  • Today at the thrift store…

    Elliot found this beach chair and then proceeded to lounge in it for a whole 5 minutes, taking up the asle and everything. It really was a sight. We all fell over with cuteness and fawned over his super boy strength when I asked him to put it back.  These boys, I tell you. Two…

  • A day of Icees and sympathy band-aides.

    Today was a day out of sorts. It was one of those parenting snaffus that I would like to forget. Like seriously, I would pay big fat dollars to wish away. It was that bad.  Deep breath, here goes… Theo had a pretty bad accident at school. He scraped his face, bonked his head and…

  • Easy DIY Christmas gifts for mom.

    This morning I was on FOX 45 explaining some great DIY mom gifts for the holidays. Here’s the segment and a how to below. ENJOY! http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/nNhM7qkAth0&source=uds Okay, so here’s the deal. I am a total crafter, at least when I am at home and alone,  able to yell whatever I want when I hot glue…

  • We aren’t the tree cutting type…yet.

    After perusing Facebook and Instagram this holiday weekend, I couldn’t help but notice how incredibly jolly and into the Christmas spirit everyone has become. There’s something about all of this holiday music and Harry Potter showings that just turn my insides into mush. Really, Christmas is the best time of year. However, I’ve noticed that a…

  • Hanging with the turkeys.

    It’s been rather quiet around these parts. Chalk it up to the cold weather, or my aversion to putting on real pants, either way we’ve been holed up around here doing crazy out of character things like making our own deodorant. I know. The cold just does it to me. It turns me weird. Okay perhaps…

  • 4 Makeup blunders that make you look twice your age.

    Let’s face it, makeup is not an easy beast to tame. Just like anything else, it takes practice, patience and a whole lot of trial and error to find the best look for your face and skin tone. Here are a few mistakes to avoid, when applying makeup.                                           Blunder #1: Too much Blush…
