Before our daughter was born, my husband and I used to go to the movies at least once a month. Giant popcorn (with extra butter), giant soda, gummy worms. In the two years since she’s been born, we’ve visited our local theater exactly zero times. That’s right, not once. Yeah, these days we’re a “wait […]

DIY Smarties Halloween Ghosts
October 24, 2012 21 Comments
Halloween is such a fun time of year, for kids and adults alike. Kids get to dress up in a fun costume and go trick-or-treating. Parents get to umm…raid the kids’ hard-earned Halloween candy. Admit it – you do this! This will be the first year that we take the diva trick-or-treating. Although we did […]

When I was first asked to speak this past weekend about the new Graco SnugRide Click Connect 40 at Babies R Us, I was so excited because Graco is a brand that I trust. In fact, we had the Graco Snugride 35 for my daughter and absolutely loved it. I spent tons of time researching […]

Showing Off My Baking Skills with Cool Whip Frosting
October 18, 2012 35 Comments
Let me begin by admitting that I’m not what you’d call an “expert” baker. Oh sure, I can whip up a batch of ready-to-bake chocolate chip cookies and I’ve made a pumpkin pie or two for Thanksgiving but I’m no Martha Stewart. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy the challenge of using that big, hot […]
Bang the Drum: October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month
October 17, 2012 18 Comments
I hate cancer. Just seeing the word is enough to strike fear into the bravest of brave. When my grandfather, a strong and good-natured man who retired from the Air Force, was diagnosed with kidney cancer, it was the only time I ever saw him cry.

October 10, 2012 9 Comments
This is a sponsored post, I am a Kmart Layaway blogger, though all opinions are my own. Remember layaway? Our mothers sure loved it, didn’t they? They’d put things on “layaway” when we were kids, and we were never quite sure what it meant, until now. Actually, some of us still might not be sure […]
I’ve Created a Cookie Monster
October 10, 2012 20 Comments
I’ve created a cookie monster, people! And not the cute little blue monster with big doe eyes who can’t say anything except “cookie?!” but rather a 2 1/2 foot tall, equally adorable monster with a devilish grin. This is how it all went down. Because we’re an incredibly boring couple parents now, our Saturday nights […]
