All the Holiday Posts You Missed (and trust me, you shouldn’t)

December 21, 2012

Since I’ve been working a REAL job (real = I have to get up and get dressed and shower and put on make-up and go to an office and I earn a steady paycheck), I’ve been keeping up just fine with my writing. In fact, I love it more than ever. Still wishing I had [...]

A Christmas List Grounded in Reality

December 19, 2012

Why can’t my little boy be like other little boys? Actually, I love him just the way he is but I get the sense that other little boys might be a little easier to shop for than he is. He has no Christmas list, per se. In fact, I don’t even know where we would [...]

Just 5 Things… My Favorite Christmas Songs

December 14, 2012

A few weeks ago, I was doing a video challenge where I had to come up with and (gasp!) even sing my favorite Christmas song. Well, I kind of cheated and sang along with my good buddy Michael Bublé to “Cold December Night” because it seems to be my favorite this season. Afterwards, I realized [...]

Cheese and Sausage and Giving Back

December 12, 2012

When I agreed to help promote Hickory Farms for the holidays, I thought, “Sure, I like Hickory Farms just as much as the next person.” But I was so very wrong. People are seriously devoted to Hickory Farms. I know this because I recently hosted a giveaway for the Hickory Farms Party Planner Basket. Instead [...]

When Ugly Goes Chic (An Ugly Christmas Sweater Story)

December 10, 2012

I know you’re here for the ugly sweaters because, really, who can resist looking at ugly sweaters. It’s like watching a train wreck. You just can’t turn away. But I’m going to take a quick commercial break here and remind you that I WANT YOUR POSTS! Your posts, your friend’s posts, some random blogger’s posts. I [...]

#VlogMom: And then she sang for Christmas

November 29, 2012

If you’ve never seen my solo Christmas performance for @Neilochka’s Christmahanukwanzaakah, you’re missing out. Missing out on really bad singing, that is. Don’t worry. I’m still trying to find a way to top that performance. Today’s performance, however, is not it. Today’s semi-performance comes compliments of Erin from A Parenting Production who actually DOES have [...]

Fadra’s First Ever Highly Unusual Gift Guide

November 26, 2012

I always wondered why people created gift guides. Sometimes it’s for the cash. Yes, you can get paid to list items in your gift guide. Sometimes it’s for the affiliate links. Yes, people can make commission off of things that you click on. Sometimes, it’s purely for the fun of it. Like this one. I’ll admit that [...]

The Day After Thanksgiving

November 23, 2012

I’ve lived through a great many Thanksgivings and I’m fortunate enough to have stuck around to enjoy the day after Thanksgiving. It’s definitely one of my favorite holidays, primarily because there’s no pretense. There’s no indulgence of high fat, high carb, high calorie foods followed by the nagging feeling that we should really be remembering the real [...]

The Wonderful Onslaught of Holiday Gift Baskets

November 14, 2012

Here’s a confession I need to make. Especially as the holidays are approaching and you’re thinking, What should I get Fadra for Christmas? My confession is this: I totally dig gift baskets. They’re like a surprise within a surprise. First, there’s the surprise of the gift basket itself. But then as you open it, each item [...]
