Amazon rocks my world, bottom line. I was already a fan, but once I discovered free two day shipping and the world’s cheapest diapers delivered to my doorstep via Amazon Mom, I became a full-on addict. And Christmas season – well, Amazon makes Christmas shopping at least 567 times easier AND cheaper. The Amazon Baby […]
Shop Birmingham–And a Giveaway!
As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a huge proponent of shopping and dining locally. Alabama has an unbelievable wealth of local merchants, artisans, and restaurants, and the more we support these businesses, the more of our money stays in Alabama and makes it an even better place to live. I do better dining locally than I […]
Tea Collection – $100 Giveaway!
I am a bit high maintenance when it comes to my kid’s clothes – especially Ali’s. I want her to look hip and modern, but still like a little girl. I want her very modest and while I’m at it, I like her to feel comfortable. That’s not too much to ask, is it? I’ve […]
Alabama Gameday Scavenger Hunt, 2011 Edition.
Rules: 1. If you’re attending an Alabama game this season, Grab a Camera. Photograph as many items listed as possible. Post on your blog or Facebook – or don’t. But if you do, leave a link in a comment. 2. If you’re attending another team’s game, Grab a Camera. Photograph as many of your own […]
Pig of the Month – Giveaway!
Football season has officially arrived. Oh – you already noticed, huh? Me too. I actually have not attended a game yet – Chris took Ali on a date to the first one, and the second was an away game. But my time will come – yes, my time will come. We have, on the other […]
New Music by Mat Kearney – Giveaway!
Do you remember that invigorating feeling of being sixteen, driving by yourself for the first time, and cranking up your favorite song as loud as you JollyWellPleased? The freedom – the excitement – the independence. Being a Mommy can really help you appreciate those moments all over again, because now I have that exact same […]
E-MEALZ Giveaway!
I want to be a good couponer, sale-paperer, and meal planner, but I’m just not. I have trouble making the time for it, and when I do think about it, I can’t find my sale papers, or never remember to actually use my coupons, even if I have them in my hand at the register. […]
Giveaway – Anybody Want an Awesome New Dress?
Every single time I’ve gone shopping lately, I’ve had to use my dressing-room-imagination, all while doing mental backflips… What camisole or tank top do I have to put under this? What cardigan do I have to wear over this? If I go out in the sun, is this going to be totally see-through? Nothing seems […]
Predict America’s Pick Leaderboard Update!
I don’t usually post on Saturdays, but this technically isn’t a post. (You see, I’m telling myself that so that I don’t feel all pressurey to come up with some great, amazing, deep, insightful, and original commentary on American Idol, the practice of watching television, or of life itself.) (Not that I ever do, […]
A Contest To Cope With March Madness.
(At this point, I would love to draw a cartoon of a wife, arms crossed, looking angrily at her husband while he is glued to a Basketball game on the television…with the caption underneath the cartoon: “March Madness”. But I can’t draw. So I invite you to imagine that cartoon with me as you read […]
