Kim (#8) and Heather A (#9), you are both winners! I recently read “Start Something That Matters” a book written by the Chief Shoe Giver at TOMS, Blake Mycoskie. What a great book!

So remember how I went on the caffeine hiatus after I got that nasty stomach bug? Well despite the month of sick, I’ve managed to stay off the caffeine. Pretty miraculous feat considering the girls have run me ragged. Ok, well mostly Allie because if Ava wakes up coughing it’s only like once a night, . . . → Read More: I Surrendered. Sort of. A couple weeks ago when my skin was looking stellar, and by that I mean like a pepperoni pizza… Ava: I like your dots! (referring to the lovely pimple colony invading my forehead). Husband laughter. Me: um, thanks babe. They are actually called pimples. *************** Fast forward to yesterday…Skin is actually somewhat better than before. . . . → Read More: How to have clear skin.

I saw a Facebook post from a friend whose mom died 2 years ago today. I . . . → Read More: Don’t wait till it’s too late. Valentine’s Day is coming! I know right? Wasn’t it just Christmas? Three weeks people! Don’t wait till all they have left are crappy Valentine’s cards. Take your kids nowwwww! If you know me, you know I think holidays are lame and manufactured.

I’ve watched Social Network about 20 times. I love it. I think it’s great being able to keep up with friends and classmates. It’s amusing to follow trainwrecks that you just can’t bring yourself to unfriend. But I always have issues with how public . . . → Read More: Getting Serious. Facebook. 
And by that title, I’m referring to time home with sick kiddos–not sick mommy. All I need to say if you’re home sick by yourself is try and take a nap in between that load of laundry and washing dishes. Both girls are sick. Again. We had a full weekend out of town (post to . . . → Read More: How to Survive Sick Days. You can do 10 things at once–without dropping the baby on your hip. You’re starving when you get home. But before you have a bite to eat, you do some dishes, shuffle one kid off to ballet, come home, pick up dry cleaning, go back to pick up the kid, make kid’s dinner, make adults . . . → Read More: You Know You’re a Mom if… Being back at work after a week with this sick little bub is hard. I know it was harder for me. I was worried that my sweet pea would be missing mom and all the extra TLC she got while she recovered.
