Don’t do it Jo. Don’t buy it. But it’s for the kids. You always say that, but you know you’re going to end up having most of it yourself. No I won’t. Not this time. It’s the kind of internal dialogue I used to have every time I passed by the Two Buck Chuck at…
Carbs Taste Better on the Crapper
Weekly Review: How to Deal with a Sucky Mother-in-Law, Disney Unveils New Assistive Technology for the Visually Impaired, and Why I Think My Best Friend Needs a 12 Step Program
This week sure has flown by! I’ve been busy with the usual every day stuff (trying to change my husband, my kids, my mom) and still managed to create some content I hope you enjoy (I’m a giver, what can I say?). But all this giving comes at a price. For the love of God…

I finally got my five-year chip this morning. After a hairy start to the day, my logic, the part of me that said I had a sink full of dishes, a calendar full of deadlines, a small window of time to clean and cook before the boys returned from summer school, took a backseat to…
Weekly Review – Dealing with a Lazy Husband, Getting Fired by Your Doctor, and Why My Unromantic Date Night didn’t Suck
Hiya! I’m sorry I’ve been so flaky around here lately. It’s partly due to this bullcrap they call summer vacation, where kids are asked to stay home from school for unbearable lengths of time and parents are forced to….parent them.
