The holidays are upon us, and I have to share two of my favorite things in the world right now. One is old and one is new. And just to be clear out of the gate, no one's paying me jack to write any of this. First the old. If you haven't gotten this, you're [...]
About a month ago, I hit a bit of a breaking point. The kids were home for the summer, and I'd been running myself ragged, trying to keep up with social media for the Blogging Betties Podcast. Unfortunately, as we all know, there's no such thing as keeping up with social media. It's like the mail. [...]
So as you may have noticed, I haven't been writing much lately. This isn't due to lack of trying. It's mainly due to being hella busy. Add that to my somewhat baseline status of feeling hella crappy, and, well, end of story. As most of you know, I started the Blogging Betties Podcast with my [...]
This 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, [...]
You guys are going to want to hug me and squeeze me and call me George after this post. Are you looking for something unique, adorable, and beautifully understated for Mother's Day this year? Well I've got it.JC Little of The Animated Woman has just come out with a new book called Motherhood. You may recall [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted a list of stuff I did all day and then invited you guys to do the same. So here's another "Day in the Life" from Andrea at Maybe It's Just Me. I love Andrea for more reasons than I can count, but one of the biggest? She's a superhero. [...]
Okay, I'm going to allow myself to get all sorority-girl screamy for a minute because I got the BEST email this morning. Fadra Nally, who blogs at all.things.fadra, chose one of my posts for Blogmas 2013: My Top Favorite Posts. And just as icing, turns out my friend and drawing mentor, JC Little of The [...]
"I just really don't want to go. I'm going to miss you guys too much." My 10-year-old son is lying in his bed. I'm snuggled next to him, stroking his head. He finds a hole between my body and the mattress so he can get both arms around me. It's like he's holding on for [...]
We had the first day of school this week, and Elfie was a little freaked out. After three years, she started a new class with a new teacher (they're clumped 1st through 3rd and 4th through 6th), so it was a big change. Anyway, I decided to write something on a Post-It and stick it [...]
I've never been to BlogHer. I didn't go this year for numerous reasons. For one, I've lived through two Illinois summers and suffered through multiple visits that always seemed to coincide with a heatwave, and lately I'm against torturing myself if I can help it. For two (I know that's wrong, but does anyone know [...]
