Mudroom reveal

So I’ve got six kids. That means six backpacks, ten or twelve jackets, a jillion pairs of shoes, and all sorts of miscellaneous junk that accompanies them. In my house all of this kid gear gets hung on a little coat rack or stuck in some cheap plastic cubbies. The… Read More

Me: talking and talking

Have you just been dying to hear me talk in real life? No? Well, here’s your chance anyway! Mutual of Omaha contacted me to do a tiny, little piece about an Aha moment that I’ve had (they’re going all over the country interviewing people about their Aha Moments). Sadly they… Read More

Friday night boredom

Soooo, I’m home on a Friday night.  I am officially a loser.  Mister and I are fanatical about date nights, but we already had one this week.  And I had to run the last-day-of-school party gauntlet which meant dropping off and picking up all evening. Plus I did Activity Day.… Read More
