You never know when life is going to throw you a curve ball. Take Skye, for instance.
One day, she’s basking in the sun without a care in the world:

The next, disaster strikes in the form of an absent hot tub cover:

It’s like the epitomy of the Project Runway slogan, only in reverse: One day [...]

This past Sunday, ten moms plus one taken woman booked a suite at the Marriott in downtown San Diego, used that as home base, then went out on the town for a night of drunken debauchery and badness.  Okay, so maybe there wasn’t much debauchery, but there was plenty of badness in the form of our alcohol-infused stumbling gyrations [...]

I had my monthly Bunco game last night. Although supposedly a dice game, what Bunco really represents is a thinly veiled excuse for a bunch of women to escape from the old homestead and drink beer (and in last night’s case, margaritas and Mojitos).  Our group consists mostly of moms which basically means our games rate higher on the [...]

Obviously my husband has found out about my minor little prank of listing his favorite golf driver on ebay.  And he’s actually taking it very well.  Which makes me suspicious that he has already purchased another club of Brobdingnagian proportions and price elsewhere.  Or is planning to.  So if any of you are listing golf [...]

Do’s and Don’ts of  listing your hubby’s favorite golf driver on ebay without telling him:
1)  Do not mistakenly use his ebay account instead of your own to list club as strangely, ebay updates are sent to account holder’s email address.  Unless husband is too dense to decipher emails saying such things as, “Notice–your wife’s listing of your favorite Callaway [...]

Has your husband ever made you SO angry and scream SO loudly that your vocal cords burst from your throat and smacked him straight upside the head?  No?  Okay so maybe that didn’t happen here either.  But you know it’s bad when I’m seriously digging the visual.
Usually after going postal in my brain for a few hours, I [...]

Everybody’s a fashion critic these days—even Finley.   And here’s what she had to say about my Tar-jay bling bling sandals:

(In case you’re wondering—yes, that is a gi-normous pile of baby spit-up.  On my foot.)
So they’re obviously not Manolos.  But really, are they that bad? 

Well, we obviously know Finley’s opinion.  Then again, just about anything can make [...]

My mom used to say, “Everybody has a talent.”  Or maybe that was Claire Huxtable.  At any rate, the important thing to note here is that I subscribe to this theory. 
Unfortunately for me, not all talents are created equal. 
For example, my ”special” ability involves remembering impossibly random 80’s songs and lyrics.  This skill (and I use that [...]

This morning was pirate dress-up day at preschool.  And water play day.  I suppose the two are compatible—after all, pirates did live on ships most of their lives.  Still, I felt a little strange having my son don striped pirate breeches over his blue and orange plaid bathing suit.  I mean, what would Stacey and [...]

What NOT to do when attempting the word challenge:
1)  Do not pronounce the word with all the clarity of someone who just downed a pitcher of Everclear martinis.  People will look at you like you’ve been smoking crack in a closet for the past five years.
2)  Do not be foolish enough to choose two words [...]
