So what do you do when you can’t seem to find those prefabricated gingerbread house kits- and you’re quite certain you won’t be allowed to have your third child until you make a gingerbread house with your children- and you know you’re running out of time for Festivities? Why, you head to your neighborhood bodega. Except, being a bodega, it doesn’t possess crazy things like graham crackers. So you buy impossibly small Mexican cookies and a bucket of something that, anywhere {Read More}
Ridiculously Tired Recap.
December 4, 2013 By 4 Comments
It’s the appropriate time for Christmas songs on the radio and two weeks out from meeting my third child! Let’s celebrate with a mid-week wrap up! (Because I currently have nothing original to say!) This Week In “She Sure Does Talk A Lot:” The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, my Bad Mama Christmas photo post was included in the awesome round-up of 5 Things To Do Over The Thanksgiving Holiday on What To Expect. (Woot!) On Thanksgiving, I gave thanks. (SHOCKING.) Sunday {Read More}

November 27, 2013 By 3 Comments
For those of you [Americans] not currently going over the river and through the woods to feasts and parties (you know, the local set and/or gargantuanly pregnant)…happy Still Connected To The Internet Day. Let’s recap what’s been going on in the week of this local and/or gargantuanly pregnant person (still connected to the internet). It’s Wednesday, And She’s Still Talking About Things: Sure, it’s not exactly a blog post, but I was recently named a bloggy ambassador to the supra-fun Little Beans {Read More}
Recap. Yes, Still On A Wednesday.
November 20, 2013 By 2 Comments
I know, you’re thinking: It’s Wednesday, what on Earth has Keely been up to? (You’re in good company. My Mom’s been thinking that for decades.) The truth is: I’ve been doing a lot of laundry. Sanitizing my children. (And/or watching the heck outta this new show I found on Netflix. GOODNESS, but I love me some detective series.) But, elsewhere. Why On Earth Is She Recapping On A Wednesday, Anyhow: Thursday’s blog was my lazy rendition of those awesome daily thankful statuses. {Read More}
Wednesday Recap…And Some Wishing.
November 13, 2013 By 4 Comments
I know- you’re excited. It’s time for the Weekly Wednesday Recap (of stuff that didn’t necessarily happen this week). Yes. Enjoy. Thursday brought a belly pic. Mine, that is. On Friday, my review for Emerald City Theatre’s Rapunzel went live. For the second time. Enjoy! Also on Friday, I tried out some frozen deliciousness from Good Food Made Simple– and now I’m hooked. YUM. Sunday- yes, on Sunday, the craziness– I talked about my sister Emily’s penchant for destruction (on behalf of {Read More}
Wednesday Is For Recaps.

Birthday Month has taken its toll and my oddly titled Monday morning weekly wrap-up has fallen by the wayside for…about a week and a half. But that is how epidemics start. So I figured I’d move the wrap-up to the slightly more sensible Wednesday. Mid-week wrap-up? SURE! Here’s a smattering of the stuff you may have missed of mine on the ol’ internets. (And if you’re dying to see birthday pics, Halloween recaps, and the kind of general hoi polloi for {Read More}
Being A Pollyanna (And Wrapping Up The Week).
October 21, 2013 By 10 Comments
At the risk of sounding like a Pollyanna, I’d like to start off my week with a list of things for which I’m utterly grateful. I mean, couldn’t hurt, right? (Since I think we all know what it feels like to wake up and [angrily] marvel yet again at the sound of the alarm…and necessity to DO things…and and and…) (Side note: Remember the Made For TV movie Polly, which was a 1950s adaptation of Pollyanna and starred Keshia Knight Pulliam? Man, that {Read More}
Bloggers Are Not Experts. (Except When They Are.)
October 17, 2013 By 40 Comments
So, the interwebs and blogosphere are abuzz with outrage over the new Martha Stewart interview. Don’t get me wrong. I love Martha Stewart. I LOVE Martha Stewart Living. (Except- again- that one time it was suggested that I spray paint driftwood and nail it to my mantel and I was all like: No, we will not be doing that.) But her claim that bloggers aren’t experts because we’re not “trained editors” with the necessary skill set? COME ON, MARTHA. I will be {Read More}
