Overestimating my abilities?
Occasionally, I get a wild impulse to take on some do-it-yourself project, as was the case in my bathroom facelift last year. It’s funny, this concept of impulse. Truly, the way it works is that something has been bugging me for too long and finally, one day, I can’t take it anymore, so I decide to fix it. So really, it has been stewing in my mind forever, but the actual act of taking on the project is impulsive. Ever since we moved into... Read More
My Feet Are In Love
Okay, so I don’t do a ton of reviews because 1. I know you guys don’t want to read about product crap and 2. I don’t always like the things that companies send me, so I’m not going to steer you wrong by making it sound more awesome than it is. However, I just received a box from the UPS guy. It was a pair of LoveSac Phur Feet Slippers. My feet are in love. Read More 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
The Problem With The Pina Colada Song
Recently, I was informed that my doctor’s office has this cool portal thing where I can go on, view my chart and medical history, and even shoot an email directly to my doctor, if need be. It’s a pretty sweet set-up, I think. The other day, I clicked around in my chart, reading my various medical issues (my children are listed as the majority of my “issues,” ha!), and other random information. There was one small section for... 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
The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading only.
While you’re reading this, I’m probably in the airport hobbling around on one foot while frantically trying to get my shoes off at the security gate. What is it about that line that sets my adrenaline on hyperdrive? Is it the line of folks behind me? The conveyor belt ahead of me, moving perpetually forward? And why do I always forget to wear flip-flops? Seriously, Lindsay. You’ve flown enough to know better. Read More Read More
Interview me.
First of all, thank you for all of those nummy meal ideas last week! We ended up making the pork roast in the crock pot and it was insanely delicious. Yuuum. I’m going to be coming back to that post next time I need dinner ideas. You guys are awesome! So, tomorrow I’m leaving for North Carolina where I’ll be joining my humor writing partner in crime Tracy Beckerman. We’ll be attending the Raleigh Southern Women’s Show... 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
Mind your own bidness.
I hate confrontation. Any time I can avoid a potential argument or other sort of tension, I do so. For this reason, I have chosen to be a smile-and-nod kind of person as far as random strangers are concerned, because what’s the point? I’m likely never going to see them again and I won’t be able to change their minds. Monday, I did something I had not done to date: I fought back. Read More Read More
What’s on your grocery list?
This week, I need tips from you. I’m heading out to the grocery store and have no idea what to get to make dinners this week. I like cooking… I just hate trying to be creative and figure out what to make at 4:30pm when my entire house falls into a spiraling vortex of screams and whines. This week, I want to have a plan. A list. Be ready when that hellish witching hour rolls around. But all I can think to make is spaghetti and tacos. I’m... 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

A Day Late, and a Dollar Short: Thoughts
I’m curious to know: why is “A day late and a dollar short” only used in a discouraging way? First of all, if you’re a day late, then yeah, that’s a bummer, but apparently whatever you were hoping to do cost money, so since you’re a day late, you saved that money you would have spent.

The Perfect Response
“I’m getting really annoyed,” I texted to my husband, in far more colorful language. “I’m trying to do 100 different things and not doing any one of them well. I’m messing everything up everywhere.” I dropped the f-bomb twice in that text. He could have told me to settle down. He could have told me I was overreacting. He could have blamed me for taking on too much. But he didn’t. Do you know what he... Read More
