I’m here! I swear!
Heather harassed me on Facebook… asked me to come back to the internet. Since I like her so much, I’m posting this here blog post. I know, I’ve been away. I’ve all but abandoned you. You know what? It has been eating me alive. Read More Read More
I know my weakness.
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love the internet. I love connecting. I love having conversations. I love sharing blogs and photos. I love promoting other people and myself. I just plain love it and think it’s an incredible tool and a luxury, too. When I accepted my job, I knew very well that would mean a significant decrease in my online time. I admit, I was concerned that I would miss being online and feeling connected. Straight off the... Read More
Thank goodness for Renee.
Every November for the past few years, I have made it a point to post one thing I’m thankful for every (okay, almost every) day. First, it was Facebook posts, then last year I turned it into blog posts. It has been good for me, particularly in the month that begins the holiday season, to make it a point to find one thing I’m thankful for each day. Today, I really needed an opportunity to look for something to be thankful for. You see,... Read More
You rule. (Yeah, you.)
I have never been a part of such a unique job interview process as the one for Verity Mom has been. It has been so well organized, thought out, and executed. Everything about it screams professional, fun, and unique… I love it. Last week, I begged you all to share my application, to comment, to Tweet or Like the post, and boy did you come through. As of this post, there were: Read More Read More
Lindsay is a dork who needs help.
For reals, I am 100% dork-ified and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s why I put myself out there, why I keep applying for these blogging jobs, and keep enjoying making a goof of myself on camera. So, here’s the deal: Verity Credit Union, a Seattle company, is on the hunt for a “Wildly creative, funny, and talented mom.” My friends, I don’t brag often, but this is MY job. I only found out about it this past... Read More
No one luckier…
I cannot believe the incredible fortune I have been granted in these past several years. On a whim, I started a blog after my now 5-year-old was born. Turned out, people liked reading it, so I kept writing. I joined a forum for writers like me. I made a few bucks when I began writing content articles. I won a few contests. I became published in several books. Crazy. Awesome. Wow. Read More Read More
The day I decided to drive 27 hrs with my kids.
It was a text conversation between my mom and me that broke the camel’s back. I was having the worst week I had yet experienced as a parent. We had all caught some yucky bug. We had been trapped in the house. Even when we were on the mend, it seemed to be getting worse. Monday night, I was up every other hour between Lily wetting the bed, Wyatt screaming bloody murder, and Lily screaming. I suspected ear infections. So, the next day, Tuesday,... Read More
On Vacation!
Hi friends! I have quite the story to tell you… it involves a totally spontaneous road trip with my four kiddos. Lots of shenanigans, lots of fun. But, it’s going to wait for a bit. The kids and I needed a change of scenery and a vacation, so I’m going to be MIA for the next week or so to spend some good, quality time with my tikes and my mom. I hope you all have a wonderful Mother’s Day and a fantastic coming week. Talk to... Read More
Meeting That Biggest Loser Dude & Inspiring Stuff
What would you say, if you had a chance to meet Patrick House, the most recent winner of The Biggest Loser? Probably something a lot less lame and awkward than what I said. He was standing alone, waiting to begin his talk at a local health club and I was in the audience. I decided I needed to take that opportunity to introduce myself and hopefully get a picture, since I knew I’d be blogging about his talk. Just as I walked up next to him, they... Read More
The nail polish doesn’t make the man…
Ack! Almost a week with no post?! Sadly, my blog isn’t the only thing that’s been neglected. Mount Foldmore has reached record-breaking proportions and I’m pretty sure the crockpot I used to make dinner on Monday is still dirty in the sink. Read More Read More
I kissed a girl… and I liked it. {Throwback Thurs}
Well whaddya know? I was on the ball enough to get a post up today. This week’s Throwback Thursday is one of my most popular blog posts, originally posted in July 2008. I hope it gives you a good chuckle. I Kissed a Girl… and I Liked It. Read More Read More
It might be the whiskey talking, but…
It may be the Jack and Ginger Ale that I’m currently sipping on while floating 35,000 feet above the US, but I’m in a sappy mood so bear with me a moment. Read More Read More
Testing sumpin’ out.
Ignore this. (I know you won’t, because you’re stubborn like me and if someone tells you to ignore something, you’re even more inclined to look at it.) Fine. I’ll tell you a funny story, then. Read More Read More
Giveaway! (I won’t even make you work for it.)
Unless something knee-slappingly hilarious happens in the next 12 hours that I just can’t wait to tell you about, I’m going to substitute my normal {Fairly} Funny Friday post with a giveaway. Sound good? Schweet. Read More Read More
My first ever blog post.
I had incorrectly thought that I began blogging in 2006. I realized this morning, in fact, that I started blogging in 2005. I’m like a dinosaur in the blogging world. Just call me “Grammaw.” This morning, I dug up my first ever blog post which was posted on my MySpace profile. Prepare for awesomeness: (Click to view larger.) Here’s a snapshot of the time: Colby wasn’t yet 3 months old. Check out that chubby baby! Looking... Read More
