Retail therapy that is. Whenever I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed...just take me to the mall. It usually takes about 2 stores before I am feeling like a new woman. Do you guys ever feel that way? I am serious. Shopping makes me happy. Of course, shopping and getting a "deal" makes me even

I got woke up this morning by a bed-wetter. My favorite. NOT! Especially when the accused bed-wetter was wetting his mommy & daddy's bed. The one withOUT the water proof mattress protector. Awesomeness at its finest. Shortly following we had a cup of orange juice dumped on the hardwood

  Or so they say. Lately I have been dealing with some defiant boys. I feel like I can't leave the room for one second or someone's going to punch someone. They both want the SAME toy. The same sippy cup. The same spoon. The same spot on the couch. And since I don't have duplicates of

And he has no mercy. He has given me a list of "to do's" longer than my kids Christmas list for Santa. If I thought working for my husband was going to be EASY, I may have made the wrong choice. Ha! Let the fun begin!

I promise you that after this post I will no longer bring up the bangs. Or not. But, really I shall try not to talk about it because I realize that it's uninteresting. This morning I decided that there was still just something about the bangs that I didn't dig. I think it was that they were

Don't you hate when you fall victim to trends? I am pretty sure everyone I know is getting bangs these days. Bangs. Yes, the short little annoying pieces of hair that lay on your forehead and drive you bananas! Those bangs. So, like any 30 year old woman trying to be "cool", I thought I wanted

I bet you all thought I was talking about my wonderful husband? Well, I love him too, but today I am talking about a new love in my life. Hey tell. That's correct. I don't just like hey tell. I love it. Huge hugs to my new friend Linda for introducing me. I've been using it for a few
