Alternately titled… “How to make homemade notebook paper” Today was an odd day. I decided to force myself to take a nap (I was significantly sleep-deprived after a really late night. Long story). So I slept til after lunch, ate a late meal, and then took a shower. I basically had time to get ready…
Snowman Pretzels – Snow Day Treats
This Winter, thank goodness, has been mild, but I haven’t forgotten the Winters of the recent past that forced the seven of us to stay indoors (cooped up and in close quarters) for days on end. Snow Days are inevitable during January and February in Washington DC, and as a mother of 5 living in…
On Justin Bieber and Puberty
I fear that it’s time to have an in-depth sit-down conversation with my soon-to-be 11 year old son. Just this afternoon, as I sat on my couch taking a much-needed break, I overheard a conversation between my son and his 8 year old sister. As usual, I was tuning out their conversation until my ears…
Interview with Paige O’Hara – Belle from Disney’s Beauty and the Beast
Beauty and the Beast’s Belle is one of my favorite Disney princesses of all time. She’s strong, she’s quirky, and she makes it clear that she is not searching for a man in her life.

Beginning a Project 365 – Photostory Friday & Give Me Your Best Shot
It’s a new year, I just got a new Android Smartphone with a cool camera and fun photo apps, and I have been hearing a ton of buzz about Project 365. I tried completing a Project 365 a few years ago and only made it a couple months. But that was before smart phones. My…
Are You a Stressed Working Mom?
It’s only the 5th day of the year, and already I feel like I’ve talked quite a bit about seeking and achieving balance. I suppose it has just been on my mind. So it didn’t surprise me when the title of this Momversation video jumped out at me this morning. (No, I didn’t scream at…
Cans for Fans – ShopRite’s Fight Against Hunger
Despite all of the hardships that my family and I have endured over the past few years, we have always had food to eat. It’s hard for me to imagine the feelings of a parent who doesn’t have food to feed to their children, but I know that families like that are everywhere. They are…
