Every once in a while, someone contacts me with a product that's just so cool. And then I get so psyched because I end up being able to give it to you guys! Just to be clear from the get-go, the folks at Jord gave me one of these fabulouso watches (that I'm about to tell you about) [...]
“Bee” Better with Bombas Socks
May 6, 2014 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom Giveaways, Worst Mom ReviewsThis post is sponsored by Bombas. I took this gig because they's good folks. And because, you see, I've always had this crazy dream about owning a business that's able to "give back." That's why when Bombas socks contacted me, I told them I'd tell you guys about them for the low, low price of, [...]
The LAST Snowman — the Book, the Giveaway, and the Pummeling
February 20, 2014 – Posted in: Children's Books, Elfie, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom Giveaways, Worst Mom ReviewsWinter in Reno this year has sucked. While the rest of the country’s been getting pummeled, we’re dry as a bone (see, there’s just no pleasing anyone, is there). Anyway, as a result, not only is our water situation grave, but our winter super happy play land experiences have been what you might call “limited.” [...]
Don’t Kill the Messenger — It’s that Time of Year
October 18, 2013 – Posted in: Guilt, Holidays, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom ReviewsThis is a topic that may -- just simply by hearing about it in October -- cause some of you immeasurable pain. But I'm going to bring it up anyway (I know, nice, right?). Holiday cards. Yes, I know it's early. At least it seems early. Of course it also seems early to buy snow [...]
Tea for Four
June 3, 2013 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Food, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom ReviewsWe did something so girly the other day -- we had a tea party. Even my son, Newt, who has very few issues with crossing traditional gender lines (he told me the other day that he thought dressing in drag like Bugs Bunny would be awesome) was having none of it. To be fair, it [...]
iBallz, UrBallz, but Definitely not Schweddy Balls
April 15, 2013 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Okay That's Funny, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom ReviewsSo this is something I've been dying to tell you guys about. A few weeks ago, a friend pointed me to a website for these: They're little ping-pong-sized, hard foam balls that attach to the corners of your iPad (or mini) to keep it from breaking if it falls on the ground. It's an ingenious [...]
Commercials of the Weird
February 19, 2013 – Posted in: Okay That's Funny, Tammy Thinks, Worst Mom ReviewsI'm a sucker for a good commercial. And if there's one thing that really gets me, it's weirdness. But weirdness is kind of like a first date. Under do it and it lands you in the forgettable pile. Over do it and you're in creepy town. Like the GoDaddy spot with the horrible -- as [...]
How to Get Your Kid to Clean the Whole House
February 5, 2013 – Posted in: Chronic Pain, Cleaning, Green Living, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom ReviewsOnce 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 [...]

The Road to Obama — How Volunteering Led Me Straight to the President
January 15, 2013 – Posted in: Movies, Websites, Worst Mom ReviewsSo here's something I've never told you guys: I met the president. I even got to talk to him. And he hugged me. And no, I haven't OD'd on pain meds -- I'm being serious. I don't talk about this a lot (clearly, since I've been blogging for almost four years and am just mentioning [...]
