In my last post on Mom Jeans, I promised to show you that it can be done – you can be an older, or more “mature” Mom and not have to wear Mom Jeans. In fact, my aim was to show that someone who already admittedly wears dreadful Mom Jeans can be miraculously transformed simply […]
Mom Jeans and the Dreaded “Long Butt”
UPDATED: A Plus Sized Sequel was published on October 12, 2012. Click here to read that post. A few months ago during one of our more “social” small group gatherings (in which all of the guys tend to gravitate to the kitchen to be closest to the snacks while the girls sit in the living […]
Art Class From an Art Ignoramus
So the other day when I posted about my recent experimentation in the world of painting, I had just as many comments about the photo of the Celtic knotwork as I did about the painting, so I decided that I would teach y’all how to do it.And I DO expect you to go get the […]
It Wasn’t as Hard as it Looked Like it Would be Harder Than it Looked
. . . and it certainly wasn’t as hard as that title is to understand. So I’ve been wanting some artwork for the house.

She played for a little while, but then kept saying “Mommy Hold […]
Urban Legends Consumer Report: Listerine.

William Hallmark
I was getting close to running out of checks, so I started my usual perusal of all of the coupon sets in the Sunday paper, to see which of the check printing companies had the best current promotion, and the best design.
