I have been travelling like mad lately. All for work – and it has been nuts. In the last few months, I’ve been to Atlanta, Denver, San Jose, La Jolla, San Diego, and Boston. I’ve to...
EW. EW. EW. Just EW. OK folks – I realize I’m too old for this crap but I just have to say this….WHAT THE HELL DID MADAME TUSSAUDS DO TO RPATZ?! Did you SEE this nightmare?! It̵...
A while back, I posted about Pineapple’s development. I did this because the original intent of this blog was to sort of virtually replace a baby book. So, posting about her progress seemed imp...
I do not like sports, I’m not a fan. I do not like them No way, no ma’am. I particularly dislike football, of course Although golf might be worse…it’s played on a course. I do...
The Unexperienced Mom calls…and I answer. For this week’s Top 3 Thursday meme, she’s asking us to identify our quirks. My first thought was “Quirks? I don’t think I have...
Put me down in the ’bad mommy’ category…I forgot to dress Pineapple in green for St. Patrick’s Day. All the other little wee one at her daycare were dressed up but Pineapple...
Today I met with some lovely new bloggy friends – @OurOrdinaryLife and @Sinfully_Cute. We had a wonderful time getting to know one another and just chatting about loads of stuff we enjoy. At a ...
One of my favorite books growing up was Roald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. If you’re a fan of one Roald Dahl vehicle, then you most likely are a fan of others…like Fant...
After my recent post, I figured this blog could use a little happiness. And my friend over @DiaryofaNewMom signed me up for a meme a while back which I’m only now getting to (sorry pretty la...
I used to have a ton of confidence. It used to ooze out of my pores and fall out of my ears. At one point, I think I would have made an amazing con-artist (or maybe a spy) because I was so friggin...
We have one of those Amish fireplaces which we were given as a gift by my inlaws. It’s in our bedroom and it rocks. It can SERIOUSLY put out some heat and the little simulated ‘firelight&...
February was an interesting month for Pineapple. I was travelling quite a bit – to both the Blissdom Conference and the Mom 2.0 Summit - and then we had a memorable trip to the beach. She wasn&...
Ever feel like you’re coming unglued? I do. Ever feel like you’re stuck on that big hamster wheel of life and I’m running your little paws off….but not getting anywhere? Let...
Mom 2.0 was a blast – I had so much fun meeting some really smart ladies and learning some things about blogging (and specifically about blogging conferences) that I know will help me going for...
I’m going to try doing things here at the Mom 2.0 Summit a bit differently than I did at Blissdom ‘10 and provide some info along the way….we’re only a few hours into the firs...
Pineapple has lost her mind. I’m not even kidding. I actually read in one of my many, many, many (many) parenting books that when a toddler totally freaks, they have literally lost their minds&...
DH shared some interesting daddy-daughter bonding moments which he experienced while I was recently out of town for Blissdom. So, I thought I’d share them with you…. According to DH, Pine...
I was going to write 4 more posts about Blissdom. Yep – 4. But instead, I’ve decided to write one really long one. So hang on to your girdle Myrtle…it’s gonna be a long ride! ...
Wow. Wow. Wow. This has been such a fun, exciting, educational, frenetic weekend…aiuwehfaiagvdffi ugjlk;likjoa….WHOOPS – sorry, fell asleep on my keyboard…I’m exhausted, ...
So, one proud mama writing today – Pineapple was selected as KID OF THE MONTH for EverydayMoms!!! (Check out the site here: http://www.everydaymoms.ca/for um/topics/februarys-kid-of-the -month - ...
I’m a self-proclaimed helicopter mom. It’s what I do. I hover and worry and spritz myself, my child, and anyone who happens to be standing near with non-alcohol based hand sanitizer. It...
I am so excited…I’m headed to Blissdom ‘10 this week…and I’ll be hanging with some AMAZING blogging women and seeing HARRY CONNICK, JR. perform!!! Yowza! There are so ma...
I am clumsy. There, I said it. I’m seriously clumsy. I regularly have one bruise or another. Last night, I set a cup of water on the counter, preparing to make some Sleepy Time tea (haha –...
If you read my blog, then you’re probably aware that Pineapple has been really sick the past two weeks. And with most toddlers, particularly those right around the 16 month point, I’m fin...
I received a very thoughtful message from my pal Nanci on www.truumomconfessions.com (a great site – check it out!) and given that Pineapple has been ill as well as teething recently, therefore...
(I see you!)
Pineapple is officially mimicking me. She tries to say EVERYTHING that I say. Granted, she mostly fails and ends up with something that could possibly be the same thing I just said if we were basing ...
DH and I have been watching a LOT of Alias lately due to the fact that Pineapple gave me the first two seasons on DVD for Christmas. Now, in order from absolute FAVORITE best show of all time, my pic...
Pineapple’s hair is growing and growing and I’m starting to feel like I made a wrong turn somewhere by deciding on my chosen career instead of being a hairdresser. I honestly don’t ...
My sister has been begging me to write this post. And I’ll admit…I didn’t want to write this post. Not only because it is utterly ridiculous and I like to hope that folks believe th...
