Or, if you’re my child, instead of striking a pose, you can mug at the camera like you’re gonna shank somebody… Which is, of course, exactly what you should do when you get your probably-not-gonna-ma...
As a lifestyle blogger there are a number of things about my, um, lifestyle that are just common knowledge to the itty-bitty-world-of-people-who -love-on-this-Dumb-blog Dumb Mom blog readers. I share ...
It’s been ages since I’ve done a Dude Mom Life feature. But, Kristi at Daily Dribbles sent me these muddy inspiring gems… And I figured, yeah, it’s about time. Because my Dude Mom life has been exces...
When I think of lace I think of those little doily thingys that my grandmother used to put all over her house for décor. Or whatever. I mean, what were those for? I used to think they wer...
Because you really never know when someone is going to volunteer you and your home for a BBQ or a picnic or a full blown dinner party and you need to be prepared. For me, summer is my favorite cookin...
Today I ignored with vigor celebrated my 5th 29th birthday. I pretty much felt like this all day. I mean it was a Tuesday after all, which meant school, tutoring, soccer, and dinner and somepla...
Recently, #3 had his 4 year old physical appointment with his pediatrician. In addition to his overall good healthy, we learned that he is the average height and weight of a 6 year old. Score!&...

Like so many other bloggers in this space, I started this blog at a challenging time in my life. I had an infant and a toddler at home. My youngest had just started full time school. I was nurs...
So, I’m doing something I thought I’d never do: offering ad space for purchase. I know. All of the cool kids are doing it. So, what’s taken me so long? Well, basically, it’s a matter of worth. I real...
Mother’s Day is right around the corner. And, if you’re me, you will also be turning 29-Again, and celebrating a 9th wedding anniversary in the month of May as well. Poor planning? Probably (not that...
I value honesty. I swear. Growing up, Mimi was all about being honest no matter what. She always said, “If I can’t trust you, I can’t love you.” Or something like that. I may not be...
Well, guys. It’s finally happened. After years of trying. A number of unsatisfying flings. Time I can never get back; effort I could barely muster; heartache, embarrassment, frustration, and te...
#1 started wearing his first set of braces just after he celebrated his 8th birthday. Eight years old and he was rockin’ a pretty substantial metal mouth; an expander on the top (and yeah, I wore one...
I have only just recently begun to realize the power of blogging for good. Sure, I dabbled in the occasional PSA in the past in which I ranted a bit about something I thought was annoying or unjust i...
I love wearing my Crocs. They are the fur lined kind that are all soft and comfy inside. They are worn in just perfectly so they sorta fit my feet like hideously-unfashionable-but-in sanely-comfortabl...
