At 1:30 pm on Saturday, I am hauling my butt to Target at warp speed (which, thanks to the vast array and disgustingly numerous amounts of yummies I’ve been consuming lately, is no small task).  My son has a birthday party to get to by 3:00, and of course, we don’t have a present yet.  I don’t know how many preschooler parties you’ve attended [...]

So, last night I went to one of those Tastefully Simple parties.  You know the ones—where they let you sample food in hopes you’ll buy a ton of crap, and somehow, if they sell enough, some random lady out in the Midwest scores a vanity-plate Hyundai.  No, that  can’t be right–it’s illegal to put a vanity plate on those.  [...]

This morning, we’re laying in bed watching cartoons, listening to JoJo tell us we’re going to do some things with our bodies that feel really good.  Yeah, I don’t really know what the writers were thinking either.  Suffice it to say that JoJo’s Circus will not be making the leap to PBS anytime soon.
 Randomly, my son turns [...]

I have a confession to make—I’m a Target dollar bin junkie.  I seriously must have the biggest collection of their random holiday crap on the face of the planet.   When I see all those little holiday knick-knacks, thingamajigs, and doo-hickeys, I just lose it.  I don’t care that they’re utterly useless, that they’re going to fall apart as [...]

You know how you hear stories of parents just sticking a baseball bat in their kid’s hand, and voila, a young Babe Ruth is born?
Yeah, well, not so much with my son.  At least, not when it comes to cameras.
In fact, I’m not sure if I should be alarmed.  It seems not only does my son have a [...]

Is it just me, or are ants some of the most disgusting creatures known to man?  Second, of course, to cockroaches.  I mean, I don’t mind seeing an ant here or there when I’m out and about.  And yes, I get that ants are amazing—they’re strong, organized, and cooperative.  In fact, they’d probably fare better in the [...]

Seriously, do you think I could make up something this insane?  I’m warped, but not that warped.  (And no, my degree of warpedness is not up for debate).
I mean, I could maybe see suing Victoria’s Secret for causing undue distress to my body image (Have you seen those commercials?  Women who look like that should be banned [...]

I forgot to mention—another big thing that happened while were in Colorado?  Finley started solids.
 Well, that’s not 100% accurate.  Actually, my baby started solids when we were in Utah, before we got to Colorado.
Here I was, so proud of myself for delaying solids.  Not that I started Connor super early—he pigged out on his first [...]

So, back to my 3-week trip to Colorado, kids and dogs in tow, sans hubby.  (Yes, I realize, I must be certifiable.  Then again, if you’ve read much of this blog ((or even one other post)) you’re probably already familiar with that neurotic and crazy place I like to call my brain.)
You may know this already—I [...]

Okay, so I know I’m supposed to post more about my 3 week trip to Colorado, kids in tow, but I have to digress. Something much more crucial came up Actually, it’s kind of scary. Terrifying, even
You see, I just found out I know a SECOND person starring in a TV reality show.
But let’s back [...]
