Call it hormones, the wacky weather, lack of sleep or just first world problems, here are 10 things currently pissing me off: 1. Toilet paper in public restrooms. Not only is it cheap and flimsy, why can’t I get more than one teensy square? I hate fighting with those damn dispensers! 2. Pharmacies. I wonder…
I can’t believe we have to move. Even though I knew it was coming, it feels like the rug has been pulled out from underneath me. My chest is cramping with stress and the lists running through my head are giving me the spins. The last few days have been chaos amidst boxes and packing…

Favorite Song: Titanium by David Guetta featuring Sia 4. Favorite Tweeter: Too many to chose from! My favorite Facebooker is Galit Breen…

Just days after my parents died, I made a list of all the people I knew that had also lost a parent too soon. It seems like such a strange thing to do, right? I suppose it made me feel a little better and not so alone. These were friends that will understand what I’m…
In addition to feeling so sleep deprived I can’t even see straight and riddled with worried that I’m doing something terribly wrong, puppies and preschoolers are similar in a lot more ways than I thought: Both require A LOT of gear. I thought we were prepared before we brought Charlie Pasta home on Tuesday, but…
July sucked. I was SO happy to turn the page on my calendar yesterday. Yes, there were some memorable moments, but for the most part I am more than ready to move on. July really brought out the worst in me. I wrote a post earlier this week called The Yucky Side, where I shared…
My husband and I were just discussing this and I even went as far as looking up what the 10 most annoying sounds are. Needless to say, my list is a little different: 1. Hearing people eat or drink, particularly when they gulp, smack or are utterly disgusting while doing it. 2. Idling cars. 3….
