A Story of Christmas Magic

December 23, 2011

My mother tells me that when I was a child, I believed in Santa Claus. I believed with all of my heart. Even when the kids on the bus told me that their parents admitted it was them, I refused to believe it. My mother also tells me that when I found out the truth [...]

Just Dance 3 created Just Chaos in my house

December 12, 2011

I’ve made no secret of my love for Just Dance 2. It’s a game for the Wii that makes you feel like you can really dance. The sad truth is that if you videotape yourself doing these dances, you will find that you actually cannot dance. Or maybe that’s just me. What I love about [...]

Raising Good Little People

December 7, 2011

In case I didn’t mention it all the way back in August when I came home from BlogHer 11, I met with plenty of amazing companies and brands. Some I’ve had the pleasure of working with and some I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their products and sometimes writing about them. But the absolute standout [...]

An Unusual (But BPA-Free) Holiday Suggestion

November 29, 2011

I’m a longtime Tupperware fan. I’ve been using it since before microwaves were invented. (Okay, not actually true. Microwave ovens were first sold in 1947). I’ll say that my family was a relative latecomer to the microwave era. Now I don’t know how we ever lived without it. But with the miraculous dose of non-ionizing [...]

I’m Going to Wash Those Germs Right Out of My House

November 10, 2011

It’s pretty much inevitable, right? This time of year, everyone seems to have the sniffles. They’re coughing and sneezing and generally not being very clean. At least that’s how it seems. Once I had a child, I became a complete germophobe for three reasons: 1. Caring for a sick baby sucks. 2. Being sick yourself [...]

No one knows messy like I know messy

November 5, 2011

Most people think I’m a lovely housekeeper. These are my friends in “real” life and my family. They are the ones that visit for the holidays or stopover for a little get together. According to them, “my house always looks spotless.” I have a secret to confess. It’s because I clean my arse off before [...]

Halloween Through the Ages

October 31, 2011

If you were looking for a history lesson in the origins of Halloween, you’ll need to visit a much more reputable source like Wikipedia. I’m here to talk about Halloween through my son’s ages. He’s 4 this year (four and three-quarters to be exact) which means this is the 5th Halloween we’re celebrating together. And [...]

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 [...]

A Week in My Life: Black Friday

October 15, 2011

I actually used to think Black Friday was a bad thing. I mean, the color black implies evil and sinister, doesn’t it? Apparently not. If you’re “in the black,” you’re making money. If you’re “in the red,” you ain’t doing so good. But Red Friday probably would have made much sense to you. So let’s [...]
