I made two promises last week. One was a promise I made to myself that I will never again take a 16-hour road trip with two toddlers. Unless we move and I absolutely have to do it. And then I'll probably be in the back seat screaming the entire time. And then the kids can record me for a change. The second promise is that I would publish this video here today. But, before you view it, there are eight things you should know:

1. No two clips are the same.
2. I sent hours of this footage to Gitmo.
3. These are the happier moments I captured. (I spared you the unhappy ones.)
4. No children were harmed in the making of this video.
5. Though, children may have been disciplined in the making of this video.

I had the incredible opportunity to team up with Anna Luther from My Life and Kids and Kerry Rossow from HouseTalkN to bring you a career-ending vlog entitled “Networking Tips for Professional Bloggers.” Wait…no. I meant career-broadening. Dang you, Sigmund Freud.

Ladies and Gentleman (dad), Brian and I had the incredible opportunity to spend the weekend in Chicago at BlogHer ’13 with 5,000 of my favorite, female bloggers. Hellooooooooo, ear plugs! Brian went to Walgreens the first night we were there to purchase headache medicine. Kid you not. I don’t think he’s ever been around that […]

As promised, here is part 2 of my ground-breaking series:  “How to be the Perfect Grandparent.”

I see it as no coincidence that tornadoes are expected in Kansas around the same time as my parents in the middle of this week. Let the cyclone of gift-giving, hugging, kissing, missed bedtimes, doting, running, playing, splashing, reading, snack times, and squealing commence! No one does fun like a grandparent. No one.

This week was an exciting one by my standards. I’m pretty sure I put on actual pants at least 3 or 4 times. I wore makeup on more than one occasion. And I even ventured outside the few times the temperatures reached above the 50 degree mark. And I got to feed a llama. Or […]

I just can’t get motivated to write a blog about the vlog I made about how to get motivated to vlog and/or blog. So, I’ll have to ask you to just enjoy this short vlog instead of a blog. Because I’m a slob. (That was a stretch.)

I have three more Facebook features to introduce to Marky Mark Zuckerberg (here are the first two), and I’m curious to know how many of you think #5 is a social media necessity. There are very few (if any) things in the online world I desire more than a Facebook dislike button. The passive-aggressive in […]

I can’t even begin to count the number of times WebMD has recommended that I visit the emergency room. It probably numbers in the thousands. I mean, I could count to a couple thousand, but I don’t really have the energy.

Thursday is the new Tuesday here at Katy in a Corner. I’m giving y’all a How-to Tuesday on a Thursday just to keep you on your toes and coming back for more every day. Also because I’m stuck at home all sick with nothing else to do. Unless you count watching the kids watch TV […]
