Stream of Consciousness Sunday: The Magic of Santa

October 30, 2011

I had such a blah day. I’m trying to declutter the house again. I dressed in bummy clothes. I didn’t shower. And it was cold outside and in (I have this thing about turning on the heat before November). I’ve just been in a funk. But don’t worry. That’s not what I wrote about. I [...]

Blogging is work, too.

September 5, 2011

It’s Labor Day. I don’t know the origins of the holiday or honestly why we celebrate it. (Yes, I know there is Google for that. Or Wikipedia, the ultimate source of truth and knowledge). All I know is that it’s a day off of work. If I actually worked in an office. So what do [...]

Happy Birthday, America!

July 4, 2011

The 4th of July. Independence Day. Hot dogs and deviled eggs. Hot, sweaty kids. Hours at the pool. Fireworks. Big and loud. Bright and colorful. A little bit of history. It’s a day of celebration. Pure celebration. Enjoy. If you’re not American but love someone who is, celebrate with us. Eat a hot dog. Or [...]

Mardi Gras: An excuse for fun, food, and friends

March 8, 2011

Last year, I took the time to focus on one of the most important aspects of Mardi Gras. The marketing of it. I was selected by House Party to host a Mardi Gras party sponsored by Zatarain’s. I wrote all about it because it was my first House Party experience and I was approaching it [...]

Stream of Consciousness Sunday: And then came 2011

January 2, 2011

Maybe you read a few days ago about how I feel about Christmas Limbo. It’s that time between Christmas and New Year’s when nothing really happens and you just don’t feel like you can get on with things just yet. It’s a holiday lull. Well, New Year’s Eve came and went and I started off [...]

10 New Year’s resolutions you can keep

January 1, 2011

Everybody always talks about their resolutions this time of year. And we all really mean. We all really want to make some changes… usually for the better. But the reality is, we probably set big lofty goals that would require more changes than we can handle all at once. And then guess what happens? We [...]

Christmas Limbo and 10 other things like it

December 28, 2010

The period in between Christmas Day and New Year’s Day is a really weird time of year. The build-up to Christmas has been frenetic and overwhelming and sentimental and festive. And then you wake up Christmas morning and usually within 60 minutes, it’s all over. At least in my house it is. Luckily, we had [...]

On the fifth day of Blogmas: All the rest

December 24, 2010

This is my fifth and final day of Blogmas. I actually created this series as a quick and easy way to keep my blog going through the holidays and maybe spread a little blogging love. Well, it ended up being more time and work than I thought but I’m glad. It forced me to really [...]

On the fourth day of Blogmas: Edenland

December 23, 2010

When I ask people if they know Eden, who blogs, they always ask me if I mean Eden Kennedy. Who is Eden Kennedy? I think maybe one of the “big bloggers” but I’m mostly immune to and completely unaware of the who’s who scene in blogging. And in fact, I’d like to keep it that [...]
