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 [...]

I have a confession to make.  Being semi-new to the blogosphere, I’m not 100% certain what a “meme” is.  Or, for that matter, how to pronounce it.  Hubby says he thinks it’s pronounced “meem”.  But it could be ”Mee Mee”, or “May May”, for all I know.  Hopefully, somebody will enlighten me soon. 
From what I can gather, a [...]

Moms complain incessantly about the sneaky, manipulative and, well, hormonal ways of their teenagers (to put it quaintly).  And I’m sure teens come with a bevy of tricks up their sleeves.  I get that.
What I don’t get, however, is why those same mamas don’t tell you this behavior can start much, much earlier—say, at age two?  Okay, so maybe [...]

I don’t know how you spent your last few minutes of awake time last night, but I’m reasonably certain they weren’t squandered discussing the merits of Gordon Lightfoot.  Me?  Not so lucky. 
Here’s how it happened: Hubby and I are getting ready for bed, and at a decent hour for a change. Not that we’ve been up [...]

Happy 4th of July, from the gang (and the Target dollar bins)!
Skye:  Mom should be banned from Target.

Fergie:  I sure hope this visor’s tasty.  Then again, I eat beer cans.

Peanut:  I’m pretty sure I like visors about as much as I like bunny ears.  Notice my demented look?  Oh wait—I always look like this.

Peanut:  Getting [...]
