The Momma: “Honey, could you go turn on the grill?” my dad: “I love you, grill.” Am I the only one that has never heard this joke before? I doubled over laughing while cutting...
“Get him right on a schedule! He’ll sleep through the night faster, eat better, & be a happier baby!” “A schedule? Are you insane? He’s just a baby! If you don’t feed on demand, he’ll have failur...
We had a such a wonderful time at the pool in my parent’s neighborhood this weekend. I spent every day throughout 18 summers there & it was so cool to be back in the shallow end catching my...
This was an epic weekend & I don’t use the word “epic” lightly. Things were touch & go for Harry on Saturday. Doug played in a golf tournament & Harrison just wasn’...
I died young this morning from the absolute darling-ness that was my child on Pajama Day, proudly standing with his “yellow bee” lunchbox. The real kicker is that this morning he had morn...
Last Friday, my company hosted a spring festival & in a past work life for me, that meant a hot dog & zero adult beverages & some really awkward spouse-boss conversation. This festival ha...
me & Harrison, March 2010 I chose not to breastfeed Harrison. It was a choice I felt sure of after talking to my doctor, my husband, and my family. I knew the benefits of breastfeeding & The ...
On Instagram, uploading a picture later is dubbed “Latergram.” Oh, those internet nerds. Always with the creativity. So these aren’t on Instagram, but they are over a month “l...
The big discussion this week is whether or not you love your husband more than your kids, thanks to a recent survey where 75% of mothers said they love their children more than their husbands. Geez, ...
Tonight I sat on the screened porch with Doug & a glass of wine, watching The Momma & Harrison water the flowers in the backyard. He brings over his big dump truck & tries to fill it &...
We thought we’d give him a “task,” so he’s walking Tuck. Don’t worry, I have a firm hold on her leash at the base. But he was very proud of himself & it gave him an ...
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. xoxo.
This week has been kind of funk-tacular for me. I think it has to do with the four days of clouds we’ve had in a row & that really messes with my brain. Harrison is entering this stage wher...
Ladies & gentlemen, welcome to another installment of PUBLIC BATHROOM TOURS! These are just so riveting. Except not. So first we had the really amazing bathrooms at my former place of employment ...
I wrote a post about how I missed Doug on the weeknights, how it felt like we were dating again & the only cool part about it is the “hey, I remember you!” sex every Friday night. But...
For Mother’s Day, Doug gave me an entire morning at a spa, complete with massage & pedicure. Like, the most insane pedicure I’ve ever experienced in my life, complete with hot stone m...
So hi, these are my legs in my incredibly short white lace dress that everyone swears isn’t that short…until I sit down. Which means it’s not really appropriate for anything excpet ...
Dear Harrison, Being your momma is my greatest joy, my greatest accomplishment, my greatest love in life. At night when I kneel by your bed & you thank God for playing outside & yellow slides...
Apparently there’s a “right” & “wrong” way to parent & I’m mocking the whole she-bang. Remember Momma with love, Harrison. Some of my favorite blogs. Empha...
Sometimes I think Tucker has IBS because the moment she finishes eating, homegirl needs to go outside thatminuteorshewilldie. Or at least, that’s how she makes it seem as she scarfs down the la...
I don’t know how many of you live in North Carolina. Maybe you live in California. I don’t know if you’re liberal or conservative or Christian or agnostic. I don’t know whethe...
Oh, the burdens we carry. Specifically in a diaper bag! Oh sure, there’s the usual diapers & extra blankets & onesies. Bottles are a must, as are baby wipes. But what about those weird ...
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one of these & I’m all over the place with my tastes. It’s really not uncommon for me to have four new books going at once in four differe...
50 showings, 6 months, 10 days before our listing expired…& we got an offer. A contingent offer, based on the buyers selling their current home. So that’s kind of a damper on the OMG ...
Dear Diana, Don’t be mad, but I honestly don’t remember how we met. I don’t remember whether it was a comment on a blog or Twitter or a message board, but I do know it was friendshi...
Offer. Counter. ::twiddles thumbs:: Counter. Counter. ::bites fingernails to the quick:: Wait….wait…wait 230; Accept.
I love Mother’s Day. As a little girl, it meant dressing up pretty & going to church, but not before pinning a pretty corsage on my mother’s church dress. As a momma, it means a speci...
If you ask Doug if he’s a good golfer, he’ll blush & tell you he’s not that great. (hint: he’s lying) Golf is almost religion for him, the greens his home away from home w...
Secondary Infertility & What It Means. Some really incredible, brave mommas helped me write this post. This day sucked in an incredibly awesome way. Why Having Non-Mom Friends Is So Important. Ba...
I think it’s fair to say that I’m a busy woman. Not that I’m too busy or I’m busier than you (oryou over there in the basement with the popcorn) because “busy” is ...
