Let me first preface this post by saying I am not the craftiest mom on the block and I have burned rice at least TWICE, but I can usually follow instructions. Pinterest, while it may be somewhat of an obsession for me, (I have pinned over 5000 things) it mostly makes me feel inadequate about…
12 days until Christmas and like you, my holiday ‘To Do’ list is out of control! Today was a very productive day…. I addressed, stamped and mailed 100 holiday cards, visited 6 stores, including Starbucks for a much needed extra dose of liquid energy, baked 7 dozen cookies (sugar, chocolate chip oatmeal and peanut butter)…
5 Things You Don’t Know About Me: 1. I’m always on time, sometimes even early. 2. I’m as loyal as a dog. Unless you cross me or enjoy creating drama for the sake of drama, I’ll be yours til the end. 3. Name an artist and I can [probably] sing one of their songs. This…
I worry that I’m not the calmest mom, the silliest mom, the prettiest mom, the fittest mom, the craftiest mom, the strongest mom, the coolest mom, the smartest mom, the tidiest mom, the handiest mom, or the wealthiest mom.

My toddler-free weekend was equal parts relaxing and busy. I didn’t make it to a yoga class, finish reading that book, spend time on my computer or shave my legs, but I did watch four movies (one in the theater!), tackled a pile of magazines while walking 10 miles on the treadmill, had fun girl’s…
I will be staying home alone this weekend while Todd takes Lucas to the Bay Area to visit his parents. Yes, you read that correctly, an entire toddler-free weekend! Whatever will I do with myself?! Honestly, I don’t care if I don’t see another living soul for the next 48 hours. After much consideration and…

I don’t cook, but when I do, I am very proud of myself and like to share my recipes. But only the ones that turn out well and the ones my son enjoys. This was another successful dinner and so, so easy, even I could pull it off! Spinach and Feta Turkey BurgersFrom allrecipes.com Ingredients…
