Lessons from “Down The Shore”

Shortly after I met Husband, he made a reference to his family’s annual vacation "going down the shore".  And I was like, "Come again?"  You see, we grew up "going to the beach".  But I soon learned that if you are from the Philadelphia suburbs, whether it be the Pennsylvania or the New Jersey side, [...]

Tried and True: Blueberry Muffins

Hi!  I’m b-a-a-a-a-ck!!!  Stay tuned for beach pictures as well as a very big announcement.  We have a new addition to the family.  Shhhh!  I can’t tell you any more right now.  But in the meantime, I wanted to post this recipe. My Tried and True Tuesday recipes have sort of fallen away.  I kind [...]

WHAT Are They Thinking!?

We’ve all seen them. You know what I’m talking about, little girls sporting T-shirts displaying obnoxious logos like "Princess" and "Spoil Me". I don’t know about you, but I don’t find those particularly offensive, just in the whatareyouthinkinglettingyourdaughterwearthat?? category. Well, yesterday morning when I dropped my daughter off at preschool, I saw one that takes [...]

Throw Back Thursday — College

Date night in 1991.  Can we say, jewel tone overload???  Dontcha love the HUH-UGE fuscia belt and the short suede skirt with black tights.  Oh!  And the big "gold" clip-on earrings. GACK!!!

A Nursing Story

I just calculated that I have spent 88 of the last 96 months of my life either pregnant or nursing.  If you had told me eight years ago that this was my fate, I’d have died laughing. I’m not talking Funny Ha Ha. I’m talking Funny Kill. Me. Now. I mean, I knew I wanted [...]

My Lastest Mommy-Of-The-Year Moment

Note to self:  When your child tells you her milk tastes weird, you should take her seriously. I have taken to purchasing organic milk, in my latest attempt to feed my children better.  As you may or may not know, organic milk comes in quantities no larger than a half-gallon carton.  Because, you know, if [...]

Fun with Google

I’ve never done one of these posts, but I found some pretty amusing Google search results that landed people onto my blog last week. 1) "super long toenails" — Oh, that’s just not a good look.  I really wouldn’t advise it. 2) And along the same lines — "longer toenails" — And once again, I [...]

The Quilt

First of all, when you plan to use hairspray as a stain remover, you might NOT want to take it into your bedroom and spray it right before getting into bed for the night.  With two open windows, a fan, and an open door, I still felt like I was breathing hairspray fumes all night. [...]

Weekend Wrap-Up

First, I want to thank everyone for their helpful suggestions on this post and on this one.  I am working up the nerve to try alcohol or hairspray on the quilt.  I suppose I could leave it as is and consider it an original piece of artwork.  Or not.  I realize that the sooner I [...]

I rock!

Or so I’ve been told.  Trista just gave me a Rockin’ Girl Blogger award.  And I get to name some girl bloggers that I think are rockin’.  I can tell you with confidence that every blogger in my Recommended Reading blogroll is a rockin’ girl blogger.  In addition to those lovely ladies, here are some [...]
