Pottery Barn, will you be my Valentine?

Dearest Pottery Barn Magazine,
I remember the first time I laid eyes on you. I was young. Too young to appreciate your true beauty. However, I held your crisp pages in my hands and dreamed of the day when I would have my own chandelier made from canning jars.
From that moment, I vowed to visit every [...]

A little less conversation

As I see it, Valentine’s Day is a pretty straightforward holiday.
A bouquet of flowers, a box of Godiva and everyone’s happy.
And then Necco had to go throw a wrench in the system by adding their iconic, little pink box of pepto bismol flavored sweet nothins.
*cue harps
The almighty conversation heart.
My question is, does Necco think this [...]

A salute to ESPN, gym socks & Fantasy Football

When it comes to old Seinfeld episodes, I always welcome a good rerun. Hopefully the same goes in this case as I share, once again, “unique” gift ideas for that special someone …. all for under $10!
After 14 years of marriage, I’ve concluded that the one thing that makes men the happiest is when their [...]

Rule #1: If you are the hostess, send out invitations similar to [...]

Do The Humpty Hump

I love the meaning of this picture. It’s 100% true. A crazy idea isn’t necessarily a bad idea. When I first heard about it on Good Morning America last spring, I’ll admit it, I thought it was sort of crazy. I had never heard of this type of event and it took a few minutes [...]

Lamby Love

Dear Lamby,
As I am sure you somehow know, deep in your synthetic, cotton-filled soul, this Saturday marks a special birthday. It is hardly possible to look back at the last 7 years and not think of you as an integral part of our lives. As a best friend from birth, my daughter has undoubtedly loved [...]

Well, by all means, don’t let us have all of the fun. If you are a proud owner of your very own blog, add your link [...]

Lessons from a {once} Supermom-aholic

I used to be a Supermom (well, I tried really hard). I used to throw these crazy Dios de los Muertos parties every year. It was what I lived for. Very much like the Olympics, preparations began far in advance, and I was a total mess the whole time. It took a fairly serious party [...]

Which dad are you?

Our Which momma are you? post was a huge hit for us last year so of course when brainstorming some Father’s Day ideas, I couldn’t help but to follow suit with nothing other than, “Which dad are you?” (or ‘daddy’ as they say here in the South.) I think I have almost every dad pegged [...]
