Bare Minerals Makeup: Does It Give You The Coverage You Need?

The other day I went over to my local Ulta store on a quest for some new makeup. The reason? I am breaking out like a 12 year old going through puberty. Umm helloooo....I'm almost 37 freakin years old! What the frig? I'm waaay too old for this crap! Anyway, until ...

I’m Baaack!

I know I have been MIA for a while but I was on vacation so I took a vacation from everything...if you know what I mean. I went down to Florida to visit my parents for a couple of weeks. It was a great time and we packed in a ...

I’ve Decided Not To Be So Hard On Myself

It's no secret that lately I have been a little depressed about getting older. I went shopping again this weekend and after trying on a bunch of clothes I decided that well...nothing has changed and I am STILL depressed. So, I have decided to take action. Soon I will transform my ...

Never Thought I Would Be A Mountain Kinda Girl

My family and I drove over to the NC mountains this weekend and all I can say is OMG....soooo beautiful! I have only seen the mountains in Virginia when we went to Wintergreen Resort to go skiing and tubing this past winter. This time we went to Boone, Blowing Rock, Sugar ...

This photo is pretty much self-explanatory. We took a trip to the NC mountains this past weekend and drove past this crane somewhere between Boone and Blowing Rock. Notice the tag line: "The we get it up people." Sooo....if you are in the market for an "ERECTION"...these "specialists" are ...

A Boy and His Tie

If you have read my About page, you have seen that I've dubbed my boys Alex (as in Alex P. Keaton from the classic 80's show Family Ties) and Dennis (as in the Menace-because well, God love him but he IS a menace). Well, I have to say that my pseudonyms ...

The NO Sleep Solution: Nurses, Sirens, Delivery Trucks and Cleaning Ladies

Everyone knows that sleep is important. If I don't get a good night sleep, I am a total grumpy witch. My husband is even worse. Thankfully, Alex has pretty good sleep habits. He could sleep through an explosion. Dennis on the other hand has a serious problem with sleep. You ...

This is an EXTREMELY rare photo which seemed unlikely to ever be captured on film. Is it Bigfoot? The Loch Ness Monster? Rosie O' Donnell with her trap shut? NO! It's my husband actually putting his dish in the dishwasher... Halle freakin' lujah!!!!!

Getting Old Sucks

So since it is ridiculously hot this summer, I had to go out this past weekend and update my summer wardrobe. Not because I have nothing to wear. No, I wish that was the case. I had to go shopping because nothing freakin fits me! Apparently, this past winter I was ...

Help! My Three Year Old Is A Liar!

My kids have a real issue with food. Since they are still pretty young, the problem is not what I'm sure to face when they are teenagers (eating me out of house and home) it's just the opposite. They DON'T eat. While my six year old IS getting better and FINALLY ...

Summertime Fun: The Plunge Inflatable Water Slide

Summer is definitely in full swing and boy is it a HOT one! Having been born and raised in South Florida, I am no stranger to the heat but that does not mean that I like it. No no. Not even close. In fact, the year round heat is one ...

Wordless Wednesday: David After Dentist

Okay so this isn't exactly "wordless" but I'm not saying anything so doesn't that count? You may have read one of my previous posts about my six year old son Alex having recently had his tonsils removed. One night after he had his pain medication, I noticed how dramatically his mood ...

I Will Never Look At A Hot Dog The Same Way Again

Hope everyone had a nice Forth of July weekend! We had a great time with the standard July fourth festivities but what I want to know is if any of you happened to catch the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating competition on television? It is held every year on ...

One Piece Of Advice For New Moms

Do you ever think back to how far you've come as a Mom? Remember the FIRST time you were pregnant? I remember vividly. I was a neurotic mess. "Can I eat this? Wait, it's soft cheese. I'm not supposed to eat that. Oh I can have tuna fish. Oh yeah. Can't have that ...

Tale of A Tonsillectomy

Yesterday I mentioned that my son Alex had a tonsillectomy last week. His recovery has been unpleasant (to say the least) for ALL of us. The first few days he did great so I was hopeful the whole process would go rather smooth. His doctor told us not to be surprised ...

CHI Flat Iron: Is It Worth the Money?

Recently, I got my hair highlighted for the first time ever. I've always wanted to do it but I thought it would be too damaging to my hair and I wasn't prepared to keep up with the cost of getting it done every few months. Then the grey hairs started ...
