You asked for it…

A couple of you wanted to know where I got my vinyl wall design for my laundry room makeover.
There are lots of places to find vinyl lettering, but this Etsy shop was uber cheap… only TEN bucks for the design I purchased!  I loves me some cheapo home improvement.
Later this week, I’ll post pics of my [...]

Laundry Room Makeover

Every once in a while, I get a bug up my ass to actually DO something with our house.  I mean, I’m always “doing” something, but most days, that consists of chasing/feeding/changing Aiden, and quickly dusting and vacuuming when I get a chance because OH MY GOD the dog hair IT IS THREATENING TO TAKE [...]

5 Years

Five years ago, I was getting married.

Today, five years later, I made chocolate chip pancakes for my boys.

This is notable, because I have to admit that I have actually never made pancakes before.  Ever.  In my whole life.  And they actually tasted quite yummy, if I do say so myself.  Jason and Aiden ate everything [...]

I may look like crap most days, but my kid is A-dorable

Went shopping today for a few fall clothes for Aiden… he doesn’t have any long-sleeved shirts, for example, and it’s feeling chilly here!  I got a bunch of stuff for him that was also on sale (Yippee!) and I had so much fun!
Here’s one of my favorite outfits:

I can’t dress myself for shit, but I can [...]

tough life

In the “don’t say it too loud for fear of jinxing it” department, Aiden’s been sleeping great ever since the damn molars stopped torturing him at night.  He no longer needs to nurse in order to fall asleep, and every night, I put him in his crib WIDE AWAKE.  A few months ago, this would [...]

Flashback

I’m browsing through books when the older woman stops next to my shopping cart as Aiden waves and says, “Hi!” 
“Well, hello there!” she responds.  Looking at me, “He is adorable.  Look at him saying hello!”
I smile and of course, say thank you.
“Do you know where the greeting cards are?  I’m looking for a birthday card,” [...]

Random thoughts on a Tuesday

I love lists.  So you’re getting bullet points today.
I haven’t had my hair cut since I chopped it all off back in MAY.  I think it needs a trim, but I want longer hair again for the winter.
I am also getting highlights again, whenever I can haul my ass back to the salon.
My kid got [...]

Why can’t I be a freak who loves working out?

I think it might be time for Thin Thursdays to make a comeback.  Want to know how much weight I’ve lost since I wrapped up my 8-week diet/exercise challenge early this summer?  That would be ZERO.  In fact, I consider myself lucky that I have only gained back a pound or two since then, because [...]

Hold that thought.

Lots of things I would love to write about right now.  Unfortunately, I have a few things that are preventing me from posting here, including:

a toddler who climbs on everything and gets into everything.  Save me.
puppies that require a ton of work and attention
a writing assignment that is due today and sadly has not written [...]
