iPhone Stand Perfect for On-The-Go Moms
With the holidays right around the corner we will be doing a lot of traveling. We don’t have a fancy car with a built-in DVD player so I plan to utilize any means of entertainment for Jude. He loves to play games on my iPhone and watch shows. However, he also likes to mess with…
Workout Music #mamavation
So I’ve been participating in the #mamavation #2weekchallenge. I just started week two and I’m really loving it. Before Mamavation I’d been going to the YMCA and doing the elliptical about 3 times a week but not really pushing myself. I just needed a little motivation. I’m still doing the elliptical but have added 6…

YO GABBA GABBA LIVE
Tuesday night we took Jude to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live. We took him to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live last year so I figured he would understand where he was going. On the way there I told him we were going to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live however, he kept assuming we were just…

A Rainy Halloween
It rained last night. Pretty much from the beginning till the end of acceptable Trick-or-Treat times. It was sad. We were kind of bummed. But we decided to take Jude out for just a bit because he has been waiting all month to go Trick-or-Treating. We hoped that if we waited a bit the rain…
Fashion for Mom
When you hear the word “fashion” what comes to mind? For me it’s this David Bowie song: Honestly, I’ve never been very “fashionable”. I like to pretend that I dance to the beat of my own drum but really I just don’t know what I’m doing. Sometimes I can “fake” it but most of the…

The Shoes I Never Thought I’d Buy
In my dreams I’m a “classy lady”, the kind who buys only nice things and gives her friends and family only the finest gifts. In my other dreams I’m the “fun mom”, laughing and playing with my kids all the time. In reality I don’t think anyone would call me “classy”. Classy ladies don’t fart…
