There are few things that my husband hates more than packing to go on a trip. He is one of those who would willingly take two screaming toddlers to Walmart on Saturday morning to buy feminine products if he knew it would make me smile. But, when it comes to packing his own suitcase, Brian […]

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m a bit of a clothes horse. I love the look and feel of a well-tailored dress. I walk taller (literally) in a cute pair of platform heels. I search far and wide until I find the right accessories. I may or may not sniff a new handbag after I […]

Well, since we seem to have a “crime and punishment” theme going on this week, I thought I’d publish the photo below for your viewing pleasure and for my parents’ inevitable disappointment in my parenting skills. I have 4 observations.

As you may have already read, we had a garage sale recently. [Really? I didn’t notice an entire week’s worth of annoying, melodramatic garage sale posts.] I get your point. But I’m here to talk about the aftermath of that traumatic experience.

And then the rescue workers have to risk their lives to save this person from their own stupidity? And the person is all, “Wow! Thank you so […]

You know when you’re shopping on Amazon.com, and you accidentally buy two of something? And you don’t even realize it? And all of a sudden the UPS man shows up at your house with TWO 4-slice toasters? Yup.

Not that you should care AT ALL about the nonsense that comes out of my mouth on a daily basis, but…well, I guess you wouldn’t be here if you didn’t care at all. So, thanks for caring, first of all! But here are some things you’ll probably never hear me say. I say probably because […]
