My husband and I went as Aragorn and Arwen for Halloween this year (geek test: If you just said “Who???” then you are officially not a geek). Like my headband of sliver flowers embedded with red plastic stones? Yep, Nana’s. Granny panties, size XL, beige, used. They’d arrived in a plain brown envelope accompanied by a …

Um… what is a yob?? No seriously, I have no idea. Photo Credit “Nooooo!” Jelly Bean shrieked, ripping her sock off for the twentieth time that morning. As I watched her carefully select another sock and pull it on – only to be frustrated yet again when the seam in the toe didn’t line up exactly …

Don’t quit now!” That was exactly the …

“Mom! I need food now! My little legs are so weak!!” My 7-year-old son eats like his dad (and is dramatic like his mom) so I wasn’t surprised when he came barging in the door after school as if he were auditioning for Oliver! He then proceeded to eat half the kitchen and only quit when …
As I’m currently in the pre-church Sunday morning insanity (according to my boys ties are just nooses with nice fabric) this will be quick: For all my local friends: As you may have heard, our friend and YMCA spin instructor (and mom of 3 and super-talented cyclocross racer and all around awesome person) Heather George …

It makes you so crazy you start shucking clothes and the next thing you know you’re running through a scratchy field with nothing but your wheat-club to defend yourself with!
