This is the week I look forward to all year long. This is the week when I can take off my mom-hat and enjoy time with my mom and whoever else makes it out to visit. This is the week when I fill my bucket, revisit my college days, and spend a full week in…

Celebrate Everyday Moments With Quotagraph (+ $100 Giveaway!)
When my kids were younger, I kept a notebook where I would record weights, illnesses, play dates, and all of the funny things they said each day. Sometimes I miss those days, when my kids were silly and parenting was so much simpler. I remember my oldest daughter, clearly, coming in to our bedroom at…

Blogher 2012 Top 10 – Not-So-Wordless Wednesday #Linky
I wrote my Blogher Top 10 list this morning and was not entirely shocked to find that everything that made my time at Blogher so much fun really had nothing to do with Blogher. That is not to say that I didn’t have a wonderful time at Blogher this year. It was just different. And…
To Miss and Be Missed
I’m finally back from Blogher (a full week in New York City is intense!). I had every intention of writing some kind of Blogher recap post…or at least a photo post or something. But as little as I’ve been on my computer this past week (conference internet really stinks) being on my computer is the…
