What do you mean, you need to “shower?” On Friday night, Nora threw up. (Alllll over P.J.) And as we cleaned her- and the kitchen, and the tub, and ourselves- up, I wondered…was this what Friday night had become? Two consecutive Friday nights with undigested pasta, boiling hot faces, and people screaming every two hours… This is the worst discotheque I’ve ever attended. Saturday brought

Helping! So here’s a thing. Over this past weekend (when not putting out the blazing fire that was my toddler’s 104 degree forehead), I had a realization: People cannot wait to de-Christmas. Keeping in mind that the merchandising of the season starts roughly on September 1st…the actually acceptable Christmas Celebratory Decorative Period starts the day after Thanksgiving. That’s when it’s

You know, just a Wednesday. The kind where you need to wear something fancy- but not too fancy because, after all, it is still a Wednesday.

(And you fail to realize this for a goodly ten minutes, seeing as you and your husband- both hanging out on different floors- thought that the other one got her. This, in particular, makes you feel like a special kind of monster.) When you [finally] see your drenched, shivering, and

Kinda like the Baby New Year (and her sister)…but noisier. Happy Day After New Year’s Day! Which isn’t a real thing, but I’m still in yelly, celebratory mode from this intense holiday season! So, I’ve gotta say, I enjoyed the heck out of my miniature blogcation- which is the last time I shall utter that word, I promise. (But I did.) It’s been a kinda crazed past few weeks, and it was nice

I happened to have married a guy who mixes a mean cocktail. Just something I happened to do very well and I pride myself on it almost daily. Occasionally, however, I am left to my own drinky devices. And I rarely stray outside of the Vodka Realm. (Doesn’t that sound like an awesome place?) But that little world just got a whole lot bigger. Because. There is now a line of flavored vodkas
