I’m the first to admit that I’m not the Martha type. Hell, I’m even not the Not Martha type. So when I say that this is easy to do, trust me….it’s easy. I made these pretty butterfly cupcakes for Little H’s birthday party and they went over really well. For something so simple, they make a great statement.Make a batch [...]
Image by Quiplash! via FlickrIt’s ironic that I’m posting this on the heels of a post about goal setting but it’s all I can do. These past two weeks have been mental. I’ve gone back to work, gotten the flu, rearranged schedules due to a flu at our sitter’s place and am just generally feeling worn out. My brain has [...]
I found Kidzarama a while ago and loved it so much I added the blog to my Google Reader instantly. She’s just done a cute re-design and posts about a variety of mom related things. Now she has a link up to a unique craft tutorial for the fall (and you know it will be here in no time!)Word Grrls [...]
I don’t know if I’ve told you or not but my boss has approved (on a trial basis) that I work from home one day a week. Wednesdays. They set me up with a very nice laptop and all the needed software etc. Today is my first go at being a WAHM. Seriously, it’s tough. Little H is not happy [...]
I’m back at work now, the transition has gone pretty well to this point. On Thursday Little H will go to a sitter (whom she adores) so who knows what will happen then. I’m hoping she has so much fun playing with her friends that she won’t notice I’ve been gone all day. Here’s to hoping. As it turns out, [...]

Then on the day you use the pre-made freezer surprise, create to your hearts content during the time you would normally make dinner. 2) Get your family in order. Use a white board [...]
It’s Monday – officially one week until I go back to work. I’m not dealing very well but what’cha gonna do right? The Grandmas are here to visit for little H’s birthday on the 12th so there is a lot going on in the house. And little H is sick. It’s gotten to the point where she’s not eating which [...]
If you’ve ever found yourself with time to get creative only to sit down and draw a blank or struggle to function, then this post is for you. As moms, we need to use our free time to it’s greatest potential. In order to do this, it is important to grease our creative machinery. Here’s how you play. We’re going [...]
Image via WikipediaYou know that scene in Harold and Kumar go to Whitecastle where Kumar is peeing on that bush? And he is alone in the woods until, suddenly, there is another guy who chooses to pee on the same bush…of all the bushes in the woods, he sidles right up to Kumar and lets fly. You know that scene?

When I was little I used to love crawling into bed, grabbing my pink teddy bear (eloquently named ‘Pinky’) and hearing my Daddy read me bedtime stories from a vast library of Dr. Seuss, and other kids tales. Now that I’m an adult I still like it when someone tells me a story but now it’s called a ‘reading’. Calling [...]
