After I wrote about Pinterexia Nervosa a few weeks ago, people began contacting me to make sure I realized all of the different forms and debilitating symptoms associated with Pinterexia. This guest post is by Julie Bunkley, a wedding planner from Auburn, who felt that there needed to be a specific focus on one particular […]

How to Take and Edit Powerful iPhone Photos
So you might have noticed that I’ve been on a bit of a photography bender lately. Mostly sunsets, with a few kids thrown in. All of my recent photos have been taken with my iPhone, and not my big, fancy DSLR with a bigger, even fancier lens. In fact, I didn’t even get it out […]
Theories Behind Tire Explosions.
I got sideswiped by The Knight Bus yesterday. And really, it had to happen to someone. Have you seen its ludicrous speeds and maneuvers? No, I guess you haven’t, since it’s invisible to Muggles, and I’m pretty sure that Hermione and Harry aren’t regular blog readers. (But Luna Lovegood totally is.) So. I was coming […]
The Rest of the Trip.
I wrote about Disney (or the lack thereof). I wrote about LegoLand. But there was a lot of space on either ends of those experiences that deserve documenting. So here is, albeit late, my last accounting of our trip to Orlando. The best purchase that I made before we left was this method of transporting […]
On the Pondering of Offspring.
I yearned for children for six years before Ali was born, and two of those years were spent desperately trying to get pregnant, then a few years later, we spent another year trying to get pregnant with Noah. But. Had I known then what I know now, there are things that would have helped me […]
50 Restaurants in Crappy Photos, Round Four.
To recap, I’m on a mission to visit fifty restaurants I’ve never been to and report back to you with honest reviews and crappy photos. Prior research can be found here, here, here, and here. 11. 26. It would have been much more literary had I waited for restaurant #26 to visit 26, but […]
If You Give a Girl a Stress Test…
There’s really nothing that starts a doctor’s visit with more flourish than to get to answer this question on your paperwork. And no, I wasn’t consulting for a boob job. Or an anti-boob job. Or even a Mammogram. It was for a stress test. And, I suppose, making a woman write her bra size in […]
(Pan)Cake Balls: The Breakfast/Dessert Mash-Up.
About six months ago, he asked for “Burnt Butter Pancake Cake Pops” for his next Birthday. Something that, as far as I can tell, did not exist – but he’s a dreamer. I laughed at him and reminded him what happened the last time I attempted cake pops. I’m pretty sure that his Utopian vision […]
Ironic, With Children.
So Alanis Morissette and I are basically best friends. Photo Credit – Alanis: AKM-GSI; Me: my iPhone; both used with permission. …Or at least we had sons six days apart, both have long dark hair, and sometimes wear stripes. (Same difference.) Because of our deep relationship, I took the liberty of rewriting my favorite Alanis […]
Disney Planes Takes Off! {Giveaway}
If my family had to choose one movie series to take on a deserted island with which to entertain our kids and not drive us adults insane in the process, it would be Disney and Pixar’s Cars and Cars 2. Noah, at only two and a half, can name every character in either movie, and quote […]
