Warning! If you don't like my kids, read no further! Wait. Of course, you like my kids. They are awesome. – snow angels! – photographs by V. I'm not sure about her subject matter. – more proof that V has an artist's grant with her name on it. Here is she is…

My bestie asked me how I stay organized. Simple. I throw away a lot of crap. There's a lot of crap to throw away. There's some ridiculous stat out there about the amount of junk mail we get in a year, probably like a trillion pounds or something (okay, 41 pounds, according to…

– a full week with my posts on the scheduled days and subjects. Score. – Whaaaa? Have you forgotten? I'm totally on a schedule… Monday- what you're reading. I like to refer it as the LLLL post. Tuesday– foooooooood. Nom. Let's go eat. Hopefully a recipe. Or a disater. Or a success. Wednesday– Crafty…

– the best weekend ever! – Friday, I started the day off right with the amazing fourth installment of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn: Part 1 with my ladies, America and Ms. Brown. Amazing might be the wrong word. It was terribly AWESOME, in case you're wondering. Just note the "terribly" part, too. Be prepared for…

Many of you know how I feel about running… [Buy this shirt for someone you love. Or me. Whatevs.] I'm not good at it. But I do it. Like Nike says. And because… As much as I feel like dying at the beginning of each run…

– cooked bacon in the oven because she told me to. And she is a much better cook than me. I think even my friend who doesn't like bacon (HOW am I friends with her?) would approve. No grease jumping up to bite you! 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes? Nice. – a slightly overwhelming shopping…

– getting a handle to the new scrolling in Lion OS X. Note to self: don't think. If I start thinking about it, it turns out like my hair when I'm trying to braid it while looking in the mirror. And that is bad. And confusing. – matching mama-offspring hairstyles. I swear it's V…

Have you seen this fabulousness floating around the interwebs? It's from that brilliant Megan, over at notmartha.org She made these amazing dahlia flower brooches in honor of Mother's Day, but with Christmas fast approaching, I could see them coming in handy. I followed her directions vaguely (I didn't measure anything because I'm sooooo good at eye-balling…
