This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of ATETV.org. All opinions are 100% mine. It’s hard for me to believe that my oldest daughter needs to start thinking about college and a career path already. She’s only just begun her freshman year of high school, and yet we’ve already talked about graduating…
10 Best Words That Didn’t Make the Dictionary
I’ve never been one to use big words. I have a decent vocabulary, but for the most part, I stick with the same old words day after day. I was surprised, then, when I read A blog post entitled Top 10 Non-Words of 2010, since some of the words that I use regularly were just…
I’m Married To Hugh Grant
It’s hard for me to watch Hugh Grant movies. They are almost always romances, and it just feels awkward to see my husband up there on the screen with other women. I am married to Hugh Grant. OK….maybe not technically. But close. Jealous? Last night, while folding laundry and watching a Hugh Grant movie, CandyMan…
Dear You Guys….
In a short but necessary break from Saturday morning cleaning, I checked twitter, and noticed a comment from my friend Julie of Dutch Being Me. Her post, a clever meme from A Belle, a Bean, and a Chicago Dog, had me laughing out loud. So, of course, I had to take a slightly longer break…
Framed
The time has finally come. I’m taking Twizzler in to have his eyes checked, and I fear that it’s finally his turn to have his own set of eyeglasses like his dad and big sisters. He’s got all of the signs: squinting, complaining that he can’t read things, ans sadly…..family history. My girls got their…
According to my Daughter….
Reese begged me tonight after dinner to let her work on something on my computer. She said she needed to write something and she could NOT write it by hand. I was heading out to Back to School night at the elementary school, Twizzler was heading to cub scouts, KitKat was already at the big…
Labor Day Special!
I told myself that I was not going to blog today (we’re heading out to a BBQ and parade with friends shortly) but I felt compelled to share this really cool Labor Day deal from Groupon. If you’ve never used Groupon before, here’s the 10 second scoop: Sign up for free and get local (or…
Wrapping It Up
Back-to-School week is officially over in these parts. The kids survived the first five days of school (they loved it, in fact!). I’ve added the last giveaway of the week (Phew! That was intense!) and now it’s time to wrap up last week’s giveaways that have ended recently. Winners, Winners! I’ve got winners! The winner…
Lunch is on Me Winners!
If you haven’t been by Better in Bulk the last few days, you might notice a few changes around here. The problems with my previous theme had gotten so bad that my blog finally broke. Something had to be done FAST. Several people (shout out to Katie and Caroline!) took time out of their schedule…
Under Construction
Please excuse the mess around here while I iron out the problems I’ve been having and move to a new, cleaner WordPress theme. It will all be worth it in the end (doctors order–I have to take two chocolates and repeat this three times every hour)
