Just Call Me Cleopatra

October 30, 2012

This wonderful thing happens to me living in this beautiful climate…come fall everything gets dry. My knuckles start cracking, my legs start itching and my hair gets frizzy. I have dedicated my life to fighting frizz, some days more successfully than others. It probably doesn’t help matters that I have a love affair with my flat iron. Regardless, my hair […]

Make A Ball

July 23, 2012

In case you didn’t catch it in my millions of posts about Drew’s obsession with baseball, we are a big time baseball family thanks to my four year old son. It’s baseball games, it’s pitching to him, it’s purchasing baseball paraphernalia…it’s everything having to do with baseball. So when I was given the opportunity to review a product by Make […]

I’m Conflicted (what else is new?!?)

June 28, 2012

I was recently chosen to be a part of a “Green Works Community.” I don’t know if the purpose is for people that have not been exposed to Green Works products to become exposed to them. I, however, am very familiar with the Green Works line. Everyone that was chosen was a fellow “Mommy Blogger” and I think all have […]

Errands Are My Life

June 5, 2012

Errands are my life. Run here, run there…I think I shuffle my family around like it is in fact my job. Recently I learned of a service called, Errand Mamas, and it got me thinking… Speaking as a retired employee who would love to find a way to score a couple of extra dollars, I couldn’t help but respect these […]

We’re a Costco Family

April 17, 2012

I spent six and a half years living behind Costco. I shopped there when we entertained or for a few select items but for the most part I rarely went. People would rave at the luxury of living behind Costco and I would just sigh that it’s alright. Now that I’m a family of four, my feelings have changed. It’s […]

There are Worse Obsessions

April 3, 2012

I realize I may not always be the best source. Is it possible I have a brain in my head considering I keep crashing my car? Then there’s the fact that I sometimes like things that…aren’t exactly intellectually stimulating. And sometimes I think my taste in some things has stayed at the same place I was when I was the […]

It’s Shady

March 16, 2012

Moving into a new house that needed tons of work, window treatments fell lower down on the priority scale. The economical options for window treatments were online places (like blinds.com) or hardware stores (like Home Depot). Both places caused my blood pressure to rise significantly. The options were endless. When we were referred to someone who came to our house […]

I dare you to fall for the trend

February 22, 2012

I have resisted adding Lululemon to “My Favorite Things” because it’s everyone’s favorite. It’s no secret, they have the best clothes. The fabric is so superior. The clothes are so comfortable. And it’s unbelievable how good everyone looks in it! But I had to, I owed it to my fellow frizzy haired friends, to explain that the Lululemon headband is […]
