Fit To Be Tied Friday
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Fit To Be Tied Friday
It is a scene we have all been stuck in at the most inconvenient of times: The clock was ticking, my kids and I were starving, and we needed to get home, have a quick dinner, and head off to the final little league game of the season. However, we were at a complete standstill [...]
My business trip
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under CommiserATE
“I’m a mom traveling with my kids. For me, this is not a vacation. It’s a business trip.”
-Claire Dunphy, ABC’s “Modern Family
Airports, highways, theme parks and beach rentals are all bursting at the seams with families on their summer “vacations.” I have to say, I totally agree with Claire on this … so far my [...]

This post is dedicated to the “proudly imperfect” moms out there … I don’t know about you, but it sure makes me feel a heck of a lot better to know it’s not just me who hasn’t wondered, at least once, if I’m not somehow shaping my children into some crazy lunatic on A&E’s Hoarders. [...]

My 5-year-old — who doesn’t know a vampire from a werewolf — is now positive she is Team Jacob. Funny, yet kind of disturbing when you think about it. It just goes to show you how much of an effect society has on our little ones.

Beauty & The Beach
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under CaptivATE
I’ve found that the older I get, the harder it is to keep up with the daily beauty maintenance. It’s the skin … the hair … the shaving … (or lack of) that make me feel like I need Oprah’s “team” of beauty professionals just to make myself look semi-presentable before I walk out the [...]
My First Day of Kindergarten … as an empty nester

I read a tweet the other day that said, “Must be doing Facebook wrong. All my posts come out bitter and everyone else’s come out fake and happy.”
I had to laugh because this is so true with me. I mean, I try not to be the downer & rain on someone else’s parade but what [...]
Can We Really Have It All?
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under CommiserATE
This is a question that’s been on my mind a lot lately: Can we really have it all?
A couple of generations ago, most women were stay-at-home moms. If the men they married respected them as partners, then they were lucky. With their girlfriends, they drank iced tea and discussed men. (I get all my information [...]
Party In The U.S.A.
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Products We Love!
Why should American pride be confined to 1 or 2 days a year? Just like those of you who continue to let off fireworks weeks after July 4th, we too, have decided to keep the celebration rolling. And we were pleasantly surprised at some of the products we found that were still made in the [...]
