Watch out Heff, there’s a new girl in town
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
Alright, raise your hand if you recognize this lovely lady?
By now, most of you have heard the controversial story regarding Colorado Senior, Sydney Spies, whose yearbook photo was rejected by the yearbook editors for being too revealing.
She… AND her mom (gasp!) …. lash back, calling it artistic. Freedom of speech. As an aspiring model, Spies states, [...]
Oh, so THAT’S what that really means
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
I’ve made many resolutions for 2012, however, giving up my Pinterest addiction is not one of them. Some describe it as “decor they will never afford, clothes they’ll never fit into, crafts they’re too lazy to make, sayings they weren’t clever enough to think of and photos they wish they had taken.”
I describe it as [...]

Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
I had always dreamed of experiencing the magic of Christmas in NYC. The fabulous store windows. The massive Rockefeller tree. The chance of being hit with a snowball from Will Farrell. What other place can give you THAT kind of Christmas spirit?
So, like the Kardashians, we left the comforts of suburbia and headed to the [...]

The Mom Whisperers
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
For those of you who are new around here, you may not know that I’m not the only one who talks hogwash on this blog. There’s a whole slew of us.
We are kind of like a gang.
A nice gang.
With diaper bags. And unshaved legs. And minivans.

Awkward hallway conversation, anyone?
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
We’ve all been guilty of participating in dishonest small talk. Pick any public space where you see someone you (kind of) know and BAM! It’s happening. For the purposes of this post, let’s make the workplace an example.
Let’s say you are passing an acquaintance in the hall. Perhaps it’s the accountant with the [...]
World’s Worst Garage Sale Customer 101
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
I have found there are incredibly “bold” people in this world … and when I say bold, I use the term loosely. Like in the same way I call a bratty kid, spirited.
It’s not a compliment.
Trust me.
There are two places that seem to attract these bold folks I speak of: (1) Neighborhood Garage Sales and [...]
The Five Nap Commandments
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
1. Thou shalt not anticipate The Nap.
The Nap is not guaranteed. For if thou shalt stay up too late the night before and sayeth to thyself, “No need to worry, I will catch up on sleep during naptime,” thou shalt be sorely disappointed.
2. Thou shalt not taketh The Nap for granted.
For even so far as [...]

I know what you’re thinking… This is just another story about one of the kids spouting off obscenities in front of grandma.
Well, not this time suckaaaas.
This time is about me. About MY potty talk.
Many of you might not know this but I happen to be more than just a mommy blogger.
I have a secret life.

Proudly imperfect tip #1
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under EducATE
I have always secretly envied put-together moms. You know, the ones you avoid eye contact with in the Starbucks line? Maybe it’s just the freshly showered look — or maybe it’s the salon-perfect hair, freshly manicured nails, tweezed eyebrows and a “look” like they have just stepped out of an Ann Taylor catalog.
Overachievers.
Now this clearly [...]
