I don’t feel sexy. The last time I felt sexy was probably sometime in my second trimester of pregnancy. What I generally feel like now is a mom whose hair is a mess and whose shirt is always stained with something. A maid – always walking behind someone and picking up. A cook – always … Continue reading »

A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words: Outtakes
When I was pregnant with Gummy and all happy and rosy-cheeked, I had a brilliant idea. An idea that I thought was brilliant at the time. I had seen on many blogs, and probably on Pinterest, how moms would take these amazing monthly photos of their infants. With chalkboards, with pieces of a calendar spread … Continue reading »
TMI Friday: Trash Is Yummy
I really planned on having some posts between Fridays, but you know how life happens. Baby has developed a fascination with the trash. Putting random objects in the trash can has become her favorite. The trash can is too big to fit under the kitchen sink, so I’ve done my best to not let it … Continue reading »
TMI Friday: That’s Not A Cat Toy
We have a new segment, because what good is a Friday if you can’t get drunk and tell people shit that you probably shouldn’t?! Except I am sharing this stuff with you completely sober! Yay! * * * * I’ll admit it. I pretty much let my kid have … Continue reading »
Embracing The Ugly
“The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel.” ~ Steve Furtick I saw this quote for the first time as I read the blog of one of my new followers and it has been stuck in my head ever since. I even have it written in … Continue reading »
A Picture Is Worth 1000 Words: Hair Pulling
Some days I’m able to easily do an hour of yoga in the living room while she takes her morning nap. Days she decides not to take a full nap are meant for hair pulling – of all sorts. We’re having a bit of a difficult day.
Baby Wants Ba-Ba
I have the cutest accidental picture that I got of Little Man when he was about 10-12 months old. He’s standing at the bathtub, naked, and looking back at me smiling – anxiously awaiting his bath. It was so adorable, that I put it in a frame and it stayed in his bathroom for years. … Continue reading »
Sometimes You Need a Little Sparkle
There is nothing like painting my toenails to make me realize that: a) it makes me feel prettier and like I’m taking just a little better care of myself – even if I could probably sand furniture with the bottoms of my feet b) it’s ok to have a slight addiction to buying nail polish … Continue reading »
Cheap-Ass Housewife Tip #1: Your House Stinks
It does. It smells like a) diapers b) dinner from last night c) dinner that’s on the stove now d) boy’s/men’s feet e) your animal f) that patchouli incense you still have from high school g) all of the above Mine smells like at least one or two of those on a daily basis, so don’t lie. … Continue reading »
Let’s Just Call It a To-Do List
I hate resolutions. I think the whole idea of them is stupid. Ok, maybe not the WHOLE idea…but the act of everyone making them at the beginning of the year, just to break them and go on with the existence that they didn’t like in the first place, is stupid. I like the idea of making … Continue reading »
Much Ado About Nothing
I woke up with a cold this morning. Actually, I woke up with what I thought was just the case of the sneezes…until the snot started to flow. Welcome to cold season. Why is it that I am either the first to get sick, the last, or not at all – always ensuring that I … Continue reading »
One of These Things Is Not Like the Other
This weekend was going to mark my first time away from Gummy overnight. 4 days and 3 nights away. Mike was going to take her on a road trip to Salt Lake City to visit family and I was going to stay home. It was needed and dreaded all at the same time. I’m sure most of … Continue reading »
Fake It ‘Til You Make It
First and foremost, I don’t know if you’ve noticed – probably not, since I’ve been really sucking on the posting lately – there’s a little link off to the right that will take you to my new Facebook page. I gave in. So…if you’re a Facebooker, like me, go give it a like. I can’t guarantee a … Continue reading »
