1. What’s something you’ve eaten and liked, but didn’t think you would? The other day I went to this local restaurant & order this really really awesome sandwich! It had homemade bread, avocado (I usually hate avocado), cucumber, cream cheese, spinach, tomatoes & turkey. It was amazing! I’m salivating over here just typing about […]

A Time I Escaped Punishment.
I was 4 years old. My little sister, Maryann, was 2. Our mom had just bought us these really awesome kid scissors so we could cut out shapes from fun construction paper. Only problem is….I wanted to cut Maryann’s Cabbage Patch Doll’s hair. Maryann said no. So I asked if I could cut her hair. […]
Before Blogging. After Blogging.
As my 17 year old brother so eloquently put it, “Kate’s crashing into 30 loud and clear.” Ah, thank you very much for that little bro! He is also still at the age where he believes life after 30 is pointless because you are so, and I quote, “OLD!” For the last few months […]
Do you love your spouse more than your children?
I’ve been reading the book, Bad Mother by Ayelet Waldman. Ms. Waldman is famous (among other things) for writing that she loves her husband more than her children. In fact, Oprah even hosted a show dedicated to a panel of mothers who hated Waldman for such a strong declaration. I’m one of those people who reads […]

That Time in South Padre….
I was 19 years old and a freshman in college. I was your dream child. I went to a small, private liberal arts school and made a 3.75 every semester. I didn’t drink. I didn’t smoke. I didn’t sleep around. I was the kid that when my parents sent me off to school they didn’t […]
Parenting Books Are a Must!
My mom didn’t have a mother. So, needless to say, the day I came home from the hospital FIVE hours old (and with no name I might add) she didn’t really know where to start. Her answer? Books. Lots and lots and lots of books. I had a great role model for a mother, I’m […]
Toddler Dictionary
Hey! Hey! Guess what?! I’m guest posting at the Mommy Mambo today about The Easter Bunny Massacre! Go over there & read it!!!! Instead of the “Urban Dictionary” today are going to do the “Toddler Dictionary.” I have noticed that I spend a good amount of my day translating for Lboy. Actually, when he says […]
Ever set your oven on fire? Yeah, me neither.
I’ve never claimed to be great in the kitchen. I’ve already revealed to you that I spend a good amount of cooking things that come straight from a box. I’ve also told you all about how our dishwasher has been out of commission for far too long now. And no, we still haven’t gotten it […]
