Earlier this week, I was looking for an afternoon snack to feed my toddler (and myself). I wanted something a little novel to break from our standard routine. I stood in front of the refrigerator and freezer with the doors wide open, cold air blasting, and stared in a daze for several minutes. I reached for some frozen berries, yogurt, and this concoction was born! Healthy and delicious, it only t... Read More »
You’ve done it, you know you have. You’ve completely butchered, or even made up, song lyrics. It’s okay, it happens to the best of us. Who cares if the words “make sense” anyway? The important thing is that they roll off your tongue smoothly. It’s awesome when you catch someone blatantly singing the wrong words; you laugh, call them out, and then try to put toge...

I went to Baltimore. I went to BlogU. I had never been to Baltimore or a blogging conference before. I had no idea what to expect. I was terrified. Before I got on the plane, before I bought the tickets and reserved the room, before I told Jill that maybe we needed to go to a blogging conference, I spent a lot of time trying to talk myself out of going. Jill and I are a one-income show. That one ... Read More »
Something happens when a toddler approaches 1 ½ years old. It happens to the best of us: your formerly fantastic eater who previously dined on chicken, beef, lamb, and fish suddenly starts rejecting certain foods—especially meat! You may not have changed a thing about the way you’re preparing it. This new development may not stop at meat. The banana you served him yesterday brought tears of jo... Read More »
Dear Taco Bell, Your incessant commercials on my Pandora every morning finally peaked this prego’s interest enough for me to give you a chance. It’s a mistake I will never make again. I feel like I’ve been catfished. Your chicken biscuit taco was more like a chicken flavored hashbrown wrapped in cardboard. You’ve ruined my day and now I don’t know that I can ever trus...

I had the weirdest dream: I’m sharing a couch in a hotel bar with “I Just Want to Pee Alone” NYT Bestselling Author, Jen Mann. Our conversation meanders from our mutual admiration for Hugh Howey to me giving her shit about the fact that her rental car has manual roll-down windows. We then somehow make the connection that I was in the PTA with a book blogger that she follows. The next thing I know,... Read More »
Thank you, Jimmy, for being so entertaining! If you’re a night owl and can stay up to watch The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on a regular basis, then you’ve been exposed to his very funny Thank you Notes segment that he routinely does on Friday nights. If your bedtime doesn’t typically make it past double digit numbers on the clock, you’re in luck because WIRL Project... Read More »
Self-care, self-care, self-care AHHHHHHhhhhh! What is all of this self-care talk about!?! As mothers, even though our schedules seems to get tied up somehow some way, studies show that when you allow time for “self”, life will become more rewarding and less stressful despite the chaos. I want to warn you, self-care IS NOT based solely on indulging in the “short term feel good activities” such as c... Read More »
