I have four reusable Trader Joe’s bags that I take with me when I go grocery shopping…except about 90% of the time I forget them at home or in my car. I thought it was just me being a bonehead, but apparently this is a common problem (or there are more boneheads in the world [...]

Work, kids and being sick have really gotten in the way of my ‘blogability’ this week. Being sick and not being able to “be sick” (aka, act sick, act like a big baby, cry for my mommy) has me bringing great pity onto myself. I know its wrong. My life is good, I only have [...]
Tina Fey is so perfect as Sarah Palin. Thought I’d post this in case you missed it last night.
Get ready to get your guffaw on when you check out the goodies at annetaintor.com. HILARIOUS! Above is an example of a luggage tag, but she has all sorts of kitschy products (even flasks!) with retro Jane Cleaver-esque images accompanied by the funniest quips. Below are a few of my faves but you need to see them along [...]
My kids have too many damn toys. I make them give their stuff to charity on a regular basis but the supply is constantly replenished. And, with my son just having a b-day last weekend, our toy closet is busting at the seams. I’ve tried the “no present” party, but people still bring things…because that’s [...]
So, now that my son’s birthday is over I have to deal with the aftermath – returning duplicate toys, cleaning frosting off of the carpeting, avoiding stepping on the mini soldier figures from the 50-piece army playset (You ever step on those in bare feet? It smarts!) It also means writing thank you notes.
I hate [...]
Yeah, it’s Monday and this is my Fab Finds Friday post. Had a rough week.
My good friend Elaina from funfindsformom.com forwarded me these adorable business card cases she found on Etsy. They are fab. I’m planning on ordering more than one because (a) they are so damn cute (b) they only cost $8 each (c) I need [...]
Sorry for so few posts last week. My week went off the rails on Monday and just got back on track tonight. Work was insane which made getting ready for my son’s Halloween-themed 6th birthday party for 16 classmates and their parents on Saturday almost impossible. I was cooking and baking and stringing spider webs [...]
Occasionally I stumble across a site that I get really, really excited about. GoodGuide.com is such a site.
Now, after reading my posts on plastics you may think I am somewhat of an alarmist. But, I’m really not. I’m actually far less, ok, maybe slight less neurotic than I come across on this blog. However, it [...]
I’m not sure I buy the argument that technology has made us more productive. Busier, yes. Productive, not so much. I should be working right now but what am I doing? Writing this post with the help of my good buddy, Tech Nology.
A study released a few weeks ago claims that employees piss away [...]
