Here's what I do when there's no one around (and there's no threat of anyone catching me doing any of this): I eat a huge bag of Chex Mix and a huge bag of Whoppers, and nothing else, for two days. I talk to myself… a lot. I talk to myself… loudly. I practice my…

– a whole new world, like Aladdin sings about, in the bra department. Does this qualify as TMI? Maybe you're one of the male persuasion, or maybe you've been wearing the correct size undergarments for your adult life, BUT I HAVE NOT. Last week, I had a little karmic alignment in which I…

For awhile, I thought the Ultimate Prize would be going to Wanderlust Festival (in Whistler, BC, Canada: because traveling internationally [even in the same continent] is neater) for the FULL four days ALONE to enjoy the yogas and the Canadas and the not-childrens. After spending a solid 10 days without my children and 3…

– rumors about me made their way back around into my ear. Hey, silly people, I'm not opening a studio. Do I have a business plan, business loan, a space to lease, or any of the other things needed to open a dance studio? No. If, at some point, I [we] decide to open…

– so many kale chips. The Maladroit Wife made some magically delicious ones at our Super Bowl party and I was hooked. Unfortunately, I was still holding on to the idea that I would dig a green smoothie every morning, so my bags of kale, heretofore, were spent killing the flavor and color of a perfectly…

I couldn't think of a properly inspired post for "Craftacular" day and was trapped by indecision; should I write a topic that I feel passionate about that doesn't fall under a crafty heading or should I write…

We make our own diaper wipes. After doing a cost analysis I'm not exactly sure why since store-bought versus homemade are exactly the same and we're not very anal-retentive about what touches our babies' butts. … Do you see what I did there? Anal? Butts? HA! Anyhow, I've had 2 whole people ask how we do…

It's not this… It's not quite this… This is a little better… maybe… But really? I think it's this… I could LITERALLY sit in front of the computer all day long: checking Facebook, writing emails, looking at Pinterest, watching Netflix. But what am I doing? I'm escaping. And what do I need to escape?…

– "Mama, your nails are beige and black…" [me: how does she know the word for "beige"?] "… like Gramma and Grampa's bathroom." … Not what I was going for, but, totally spot on. i was going for #3 – got my nails did again. For some reason, I decided it would be…

I am blessed with the notorious "mommy brain" and a general distrust of hotel workers. Which means, I am a total idiot sometimes and need to stop acting like an idiot. And probably stop valuing my posessions so much. But mostly the idiot stuff. Here's why: In the last year, I lost/misplaced/had stolen some of…
