Sometimes people find my blog, thanks to The Googles. These finders can sometimes have strong opinions, bottled-up anger, or an intense need to vent. These people, who are never regular readers, also don’t understand the context of my blog, which is largely based on the verifiable fact that nearly nothing I say should be taken […]

Know Your Downton Risk Status.
{Spoiler Alert – only continue reading if you’ve finished watching Downton Abbey Season Three, which ended in America on Sunday.} I felt it best to give you all a couple days of Downton Silence out of respect for your mourning. Because I know – I’ve been there. Since I hacked it and watched Season Three […]
Eat Your Legos.
It has now come to pass that everyone in our family is obsessed with Legos (except, perhaps, for me – but I’m obsessed with my family being obsessed with them – you get that, right?) Even Noah has been bitten by the bug, which is bringing Chris’ life dreams into complete fulfillment. As such, when […]
Zulily Strikes Back.
I used Christmas shopping as an excuse to go on a bit of a Zulily bender. As such, when I got my credit card bill, it read something like this: Zulily Amazon Zulily Nabeel’s Amazon Zulily Amazon Nabeel’s Zulily Amazon (Multiplied by 32.) So I decided that I better put that little app aside for […]
My Kinda Funny But More Like Really Awkward Valentine.
“Boys and their mothers have a different relationship than girls and their mother. It’s just…special.

I was skeptical, because I understood girls. I “got” girls. And I was nervous about […]

$100 Giveaway: New Mom Secrets.
When I had Ali, I was absolutely shocked at how clueless I was in regards to taking care of a newborn. Like seriously – who knew they were so complicated?? It didn’t help that I wasn’t the how-to book type – I just expected to naturally and instinctually know how to care for an […]
Things By Which I Puzzle.
The phase “I’m an outdoors person.” If so, then why do we refer to it in terms of not being inside of doors, which came…kinda…secondary? Advertisements that proclaim “ENTIRE STORE UP TO 40% OFF!!!” make me have the following thought process: UP to 40% off? How many items, exactly, are actually 40% off, and how […]
Southern Genetics.
I’ve had a lot of requests for a Southern Dictionary. Yes, we’re polite. We’re always sweet and nice. We smile at everyone and call strangers sweetie, honey, and sugar pie. But we don’t always mean it. Any of it. I thought everyone knew that the phrase “Bless Your Heart” equated to giving someone the finger, […]
Not Really a Post…
Just a snippet of life to prove that he really is as narcissistic as he comes across in his guest posts. And yes, I’m aware that one day he’s going to throw this video back in my face when I ask him, “How many times do you have to ask the very same question??”
