Tweet I received a comment on my post today that the organization I am working with to help children around the world also funded ads against same sex marriage in North Carolina. Ouch. While I don’t want to support an organization that channels their money in this direction, I am still glad that we could…
Tweet So the first thing that I want to tell you is that my pants phase is over. Whew. It was a tough week. I mean I hadn’t shaved my legs for like three weeks and all with the swimsuit season finally coming to an end so I the pants were somewhat a necessity, but…
Tweet I used to vlog a lot. But then my children figured out how to unlock the closet door and free themselves and it was very hard for me to find any quiet time to vlog. And then Summer happened. Oh Summer. So with the kids back in school and Astrid now in preschool…
Tweet I’ll tell you what was weird. I dropped Astrid off for her first day of preschool this morning. We’ve both been waiting with reserved anticipation for this event. Astrid not sure what ‘preschool’ really meant..and me. Well me, I wasn’t sure what it meant to be completely alone. Leaving her was one of those…
Tweet I’ve mentioned before that I am not a make-up girl. I still rarely wear it and I have to say that at 43 years old I’m still okay leaving my house and not feeling like I could possibly scare small children. If fact tonight we were watching Desperate Housewives(okay I was watching it…
Tweet I’ve been hurting for nearly a year now. I had this friend. This pretty much a best friend that I saw nearly daily but at least weekly. We had kids that played together. We have expensive shopping taste. We shared everything. Just being around her made me happier. She was the rock and…
Tweet I am from bell bottom jeans when they were in fashion the first time, Bonnie Bell lip smacker, and perfecting the side ponytail. I am from the ranch home near the gravel pit and train tracks where we built forts, chased the trains and smoked my dad’s Kent cigarettes. I am from…

Tweet Eloise had her year end orchestra concert tonight at school. I notice them immediately when we arrived. They were the ones setting up chairs and putting together tables for the refreshments. They were the ones who sent the note out earlier this week looking for volunteers to bring refreshments. The email I deleted. I…
Tweet Dumb Mom(I say that with complete love) at Parenting by Dummies asked me to guest post for her this week on her Director’s Cut Friday. My topic was “What I don’t Know” or “What I know” and basically I found out that I don’t know much. I mean I know a lot, but what…
Tweet If I may get shallow for a moment. Ever since I met Molly about a year ago, I have been slightly jealous of her gorgeous looks – her amazing skin, hair, eyes and ability to rock make-up. Seriously she needs to teach classes. But I have met many a gorgeous women in my time…
Tweet The funny thing about blogging conferences is they can make you step back and look deep into yourself as you try to remember why you blog, and why you started to blog in the first place. It’s amazing how a room full of 600++ women can make you do that. How you can be…

Tweet Dear Tracy, So here is the deal. Your thing is clothing. We know that. You treat planning and prepping clothing like a gourmet chef plans and preps for a meal. Slaving for months, weeks, hours – the sweat, the tears, the stress. The food though is gone in a matter of minutes, while your…
Tweet Do you have those bugs where you live? You know the hairy centipede thingamajigs with the 10,000 legs. They usually hang out in the bathroom or laundry room? I would post a picture for your reference, but doing so would make me vomit to look at it again, so I will spare you. My…
