Less Words Wednesday

It’s Wednesday? For as badly as this week started out, it sure moved fast enough to make it worth it! Monday morning Ryan and I were dragging our carcasses around the house with tow rope after being up for four days with a teething Lily. She’s really fun when she’s in pain. I tried and…

Fill in the Blank Flashback Friday!

Welcome to another edition of: (courtesy of Lauren at the little things we do) 1. The most selfless thing I’ve ever done was become a mother. I truly believe that pregnancy, birth, and raising children are the three most selfless things a human being can ever do. Men can only do one of the three,…

Healthy Red Velvet Cupcakes

{thank you} Our local paper is hands down the worst local paper on the planet. However, they do have some great food features occasionally. This week they had a Red Velvet Cupcake recipe from Rocco Dispirito, author of “Now Eat This!”, and also, he’s a hot chef. Details are important. This lovely man created a…

Football Food! (that won’t kill your diet)

{thank you!} I know what you’re thinking. I thought so, too. You go on a diet and your football snacks are instantly reduced to carrot sticks and refrigerated grapes. No more cheese dips, hot wings, or brownies. No more pop. No more “good stuff”. I’m here to tell you, it’s not true! Here are some…

Losing The Cow (with The 17 Day Diet)

Well, there are no excuses now. No medical reasons to sit on my carcass. No hot weather to keep me inside. No wiggle room in my jeans to seduce me into thinking I’m just bloated. Nope. It’s time to face the scale and admit it. I’m fat. Again. I have a better reason than “Doritos…

My Big Fat Plan

I decided the other day that I need to start blogging again more often, and then Lily needed a new diaper, Molly was tired of her bouncy seat, the dryer finished its obligatory daily duty which meant it was time to fold and stuff diapers, and I still had to locate and adorn myself with…

The Hungry Girl Giveaway

I have been looking forward to this post for so long I can barely type fast enough to spit it all out. Really. That’s how excited I am about giving something, anything, away. I figured you wouldn’t want my used coffee cup or a lock of my hair, (except for YOU, stalker) so I decided…

about another run…

Hello, again! Something happened and because my sister, bless her humor, loves my funny blogs, she practically begged for me to write about it. What’s more, I’m going to preface this post by saying… Big Sister, you asked for it! And that I love you. A whole shit ton. So here’s what happened. I exercised….

A Bibelot Blog

Inspired by today’s word of the day: bibelot, meaning, a trinket or a small decorative object without practical utility. Yep, that’s what today’s blog is. A big ol’ useless blob of crap. Ok, not crap. Maybe, useless information? Or just a whole lot of rambling because my cranium is crammed with To Do Lists and…

Monday Mosaic

My thoughts are meandering once again and so I welcome you to yet another, Monday Mosaic. The morning started off rather violently with a cellphone volume set on HI! rather than good morning sweet princess ears, we don’t want to disturb you but you may or may not have a phone call. So, that was…
