I was cleaning up the kitchen the other night, and as I cursed my husband under my breath because he'd messed up the stove again, I stopped short, realizing what a jerk I was since he'd actually taken the time to cook. Whereas cooking for me looks a lot like melting cheese on tortillas and [...]
If you have a child under the age of nine, you've no doubt come across The Rainbow Fairy books. They're basically a collection of short chapter books about two girls who save the world by helping various groups of fairies find their special, magical somethings which have always been stolen by the evil Jack Frost [...]
Today, while unloading the dishwashing for the 3,000th(?) time, the following thoughts crossed my mind: That business about needing to do something 10,000 times to be good at it is really crap because I could do this in my sleep. I wonder -- can you prepare a person for drudgery? I was feeling like Conan [...]
So I've been saving this for a rainy day, and boy oh boy is it a good one. I'm stuck in our tent trailer, in Oregon, in the pouring rain. Do not even get me started... Anyway, the great and powerful Kelly DeBie of DeBie Hive sent this, oh, in winter. But you guys know [...]
So yesterday, we bought a tent trailer. This came after weeks of being Craig's List newbies and doing a piss-poor job of getting in touch with people, going out to see trailers that sucked, and not being able to get enough money on a Sunday to actually buy something. Honestly, I think one of the [...]
Once upon a time, I was a really good housekeeper. You could pretty much eat off of my floors. I did things like clean the refrigerator even if something hadn't spilled in it. I'd wonder to myself how people lived with dirty baseboards. Then I had kids. That was about ten years ago. Coincidentally, also [...]
My good friend, Ginger, who blogs over at Spicey Mom, wrote this on her Facebook page the other day. A hundred bucks says this is how those If you Give a Mouse a Cookie people came up with the idea. Because I don't know about you guys, but this happens to me at least five times [...]
If you lurk around this blog or our Facebook page, no doubt you've seen Kelly DeBie of DeBie Hive. When you get into her blog (which you should), you'll quickly find out that she and her family should have a punch card for the emergency room. In this Worst Mom Moment, unfortunately it's the mighty Kelly herself [...]
Last night I came home from a friend's house to find this: Now to the untrained eye, this may look like a mere desk with some random (really random) stuff on it in a typical suburban home. But to me, it was -- don't laugh -- the best anniversary present evah. Today is our fifteenth [...]
Meet Marian, mother of three who's just started blogging but clearly has plenty of material to keep her writing over at Just Keep Swimming. This toothpaste thing is such a pet peeve of mine, too. If they made World's Worst Moms toothpaste, it would be clear and self-destructing after five minutes.I put Molly in time [...]
