I told you yesterday in my post about second marriages that I would talk a little bit about what I know about step-parents, siblings, etc. Thanks for all of the feedback from that post, BTW. It was e...
NO NO NO, guys. No, I am NOT getting remarried. I am not engaged. There is no ring. OK…dont get fooled by the title! BUT! But, ya know…I’ve been dating my Man Friend for over 8 mont...
Someone in my mommy group has an “in” with California Pizza Kitchen and got a bunch of us in early this morning for a private tour. It was awesome and the kids were BEYOND FASCINATED with...
Like to wear on a date? I really don’t like to wear white because a)I spill things and b)what if I randomly got my period? I know- silly…But that’s what goes thru my head. The pants...
So, duh…of course after I got rid of a bunch of Mia’s size 2T stuff from last year, I made her try on a few dresses I saved and realized OMG this totally will still fit her this year. All...
A bunch is going on here. First, I sort of took a small little side job. Or project. Or maybe it IS a job. I don’t know- either way, it’s from home and it involves helping to edit a very ...
OMG. NO SERIOUSLY OMG. I went to a chiropractor. Against my better judgement. And OMG. I still can’t belive WTF just went down. I thought I was on Candid Freaking Camera. No joke. So, I have be...
This is Mia at the grab-nabber thing as we were leaving Wal-Mart. Notice the chocolate milk all over her shirt. I really try to avoid Target and Walmart with her because she wants literally everythin...
I know this is going to sound crazy to those of you that work, have more than one kid, have tons of sports and classes to shuttle all your kids and their friends to…..but by the time Mia falls ...
This time last year, we started our divorce proceedings. It was odd because we were actually still living together in a huge house that was still not big enough for the two of us and our bruised egos...
“When you feel good, you look good.” This is a quintessentially French beauty secret. Ever since we all heard Megan Calvet (now Megan Draper) on Mad Men declare that her French mother never washes he...
Finally. They’ve only been trying to get him to wear a princess dress for like EVER. Mia was putting her arms around him going “it’s ok. You look pretty. You are a princess now.R...
On the way to meet a few girlfriends and their kids for coffee this morning. I’m always torn between wearing yoga clothes and wearing a cute outfit. I hate looking scruffy, so this is what I am...
This is Mia telling my friend T, who is pregnant with #2, how to get the baby out. “you have a baby in your belly. You has to push him out, okay?? You have to go to the doctor and lay down and ...
And I know that’s a huge surprise to 99% of the people reading this. I’d say half of the comments I got were “my kids father takes them overnight too, and it doesn’t get easie...
I said I wasn’t going to cry when I dropped them at the airport, but …yeah. I totally did. And I feel bad because it probably upset Mia a little bit. She said “don’t cry mommy...
So, the week flew by and we’re already at Saturday. I hate today. Today is the day Mia leaves for her Easter vacation with her father and I won’t get to see her until Monday night. I was ...
I don’t even like to refer to it as my “night off” because to me that implies that I asked for it, or I was like “wahoooo I’m kid free tonight! Finally!” and that ...
(I need to make money somehow and DAMN those things are DELICIOUS!) The Post: It was a beautiful day to be a mother. I know that part of my “story” is that im sort of an overbearing, heli...
Hey…. See that sidebar button under Mia’s photo? Click it! You can follow me on this thing called My Fitness Pal that helps me track what I’m eating, my exercise routine (there̵...
I have no idea what else to put as the title to this post. Today we ran errands and Mia has to bring her Easter basket everywhere. Then we came home and Mia played in her new sandbox (courtesy of the...
I have no idea how to make a side by side photo thing or a collage. Anyone want to give me the answer so i dont have to do any research? Far too much work for me….. And i also still dont have a...
Mia didn’t wake up until 9 this morning. I mean, did she think it was my birthday? I titled this post typical morning not because of what time we woke up (but usually it’s 8:15am), but to...
My sister said to me “Mandy, how come you don’t write about your boyfriend on your blog?” Ok. So, I have a boyfriend. I’ve alluded to that fact a number of times, but I’...
Her most favorite ride, ever. **i wasn’t ready for that photo. Nice face, Mandy. Share this:
Geez I have a lot of stuff going on. First, let me dump all this out before I get to the real reason I’m up at 4am posting this from my hecka bright iPhone. We went to Orange County Thursday wi...
OK. I have been a DEVOTED soap, and ONLY this one specific soap, user for the last 15 years, at least. Maybe more. So when BlogHer was looking for bloggers to try Olay Ultra Moisture Body Wash, I sor...
Two nights ago, Mia wet the bed. Oh, did I mention that in addition to taking away her pacifier and making her sleep in her own bed that we have also completely moved away from diapers? This happened...
That’s what Mia said to everyone today after we cashed in her piggy bank. She has a bunny bank from Tiffany (this one) that some rich people gifted her when she was first born and it was over f...
Where has Mandy been? Where are the blogs? I’m so exhausted by the end of the day that I can’t even manage to wash my face sometimes, let alone blog about it. And this is because I have f...
