Some of you saw a post for Day 4 of my giveaway today for a $100 gift card from Tide. Unfortunately due to circumstances beyond my control it had to be taken down. Nothing wrong and it will re-appear later… just not sure when. If you left a comment already to enter that contest, it …
Yoga makes me feel gangster. And by gangster I mean duck lips. True Story: I was once approached about doing a first-person article about the “new” “trend” of Naked Yoga. (I think this may be a right of passage for female fitness journalists?) But in all honesty I’m a prude and the only thing that …
I’ll remember the day that the first “minute clinic” opened near my house as one of the happiest of my life. When you have young kids, trips to the doctor are inevitable and frequent. And while we had a pediatrician I adored, sometimes if it looks like pinkeye, itches like pinkeye, and infects playgroups on …
A couple weeks ago, Jelly Bean and I got to do a little shopping and photoshoot with Athleta as part of their #ShareYourOm month! All photobombs courtesy of my cat, Luna. Seriously cats must think we are SO WEIRD. This week is going to be AWESOME here at the GFE! I’ve got 5 amazing giveaways …
I’m sick, right? (P.S. Thank you all for the wonderful suggestions on clearing my sinuses! Not only did you guys come up with some great tips – Oil of Oregano seems to be helping but boy howdy the bread-stick burps are hard to get used to – but you made me laugh myself into a …

Birthdays are supposed to be festive affairs and so when Son #3 recently had one we decided to party it up by going to a local Italian all-you-can-eat buffet. It was insanely delicious and we all had a great time. Until. On the way out my son looked up at me with glowing eyes and …
This doesn’t look very, um, relaxing. Also, he’s wearing “jorts” and a mesh tank – officially the worst masseuse outfit ever. I fell asleep on the toilet. Yes, today. I’m pretty sure I haven’t done that since I was potty training. Other places I fell asleep today: in the waiting room at the doctor’s office, …
Today this happened: Yep. Jelly Bean started preschool! After 12 years of waiting for the day when I’d have a consistent block of time to myself you’d think that I’d be thrilled. And I am. I’m so thrilled I sobbed in my car for 20 minutes after she trotted blithely into her classroom with nary …
