Good Day, Sunshine

Good Day, Sunshine

It’s such a humbling (and awesome) feeling when someone says they like my blog and that it makes them smile / think / laugh. That’s my favorite. It’s like I always say: A little flattery will only get you everywhere. It’s even more exciting when someone says “I think your blog is so amazing I’m giving […]

If I Had a Million Dollars …

If I Had a Million Dollars …

It’s fun to dream sometimes–to think about the whimsical What Ifs. What would I do if I never had to wash / dry / fold / put away another load of laundry? What if I never needed to unload the dishwasher again? What if I didn’t have to choose between vacation destinations and I could […]

Is this thing on?

Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve been on here! Blogger Idol ended on December 20th. What an exciting ride that was!! I was honestly overwhelmed with the number of people who supported me–voting, sharing my posts, spreading the word. It brought me to tears a time or two. I know that I’m prone […]

Blogger Idol Week 9–Time to Vote for Real Life Parenting!

I’m not going to lie. When I first heard this week’s topic in Blogger Idol, I was not a happy camper. I don’t do scary anything. I literally plug my ears or mute the TV if a commercial for an intense movie or show is on. Seriously. So, I wasn’t at all excited about the […]

I’m Thankful for Dirty Socks

Right now, I am thankful for the mounds of laundry needing my attention, the socks and shoes left haphazardly near the couch. I’m grateful for the dirty underwear on the floor in the bathroom and the smeared toothpaste in the sink. I am glad to see nail polish and ponytails all over the house. I’m […]

You want to hear about my Uni-Corn? (and details on Blogger Idol voting Week 8)

Whether it’s something big like a washing machine or as small as batteries, you can find a review to help make your decision. There’s always someone willing to take the time to tell you something was a waste of their […]
