It’s my SITS day I’m celebrating with an impromptu dance in my living room. Ok. No dancing. Mostly because it’s not pretty and it’s freaking out the cat a little. But today really is my SITS day! I’ve waited so long for this day and now it’s finally here! I feel like a kid on […]

Why I’m in l-o-v-e with Alphabet Photography
November 14, 2012 25 Comments
As far back as I can remember, I’ve loved photography. As a shutterbug, the walls of my home are covered in photos of all types. Family photos, baby photos, pet photos, photos of models who came with the frame (seriously, we took two pictures out of a collage and I still haven’t figured out what […]

November 12, 2012 35 Comments
Here I am in my late twenties (okay fine, early thirties) and I have yet to cook a Thanksgiving dinner. So far, that duty has always been proudly claimed by my mother. When will the turkey torch be passed to me? I’m not sure, but for now I’m perfectly happy with my “dessert and a […]

My husband loves video games. Actually, that’s putting it mildly. If left alone without supervision, my husband could spend an entire weekend shooting zombies, racing cars, playing baseball, and rocking out on Guitar Hero.

Winter Shopping with Cookie’s Kids
November 7, 2012 16 Comments
I used to hate shopping. I never understood how people could window shop. I was the one who wanted to get what I need and get out. No dilly-dallying for me…until my daughter was born. There isn’t a pastime I enjoy more than shopping for her. There are so many uber cute kids styles out […]
Seventh Generation Introduces Wee Generation (Plus a Giveaway!)

Before I had my daughter I didn’t think much about what I put on or in my body. I ate with reckless abandon and used whatever product smelled great or worked really well. When I got pregnant, I knew I’d have to be more cautious. No more toxic hair dye. No sushi. No caffeine. No […]

Our diva has officially entered the terrible twos. Don’t get me wrong. She’s sweet and funny and adorable and I love her with every being in my body. But man oh man can she push my buttons! She’s testing boundaries and we sometimes get into a battle of wills. In an attempt to squash this […]
