Imagine a picnic draped in crepe streamers and balloons, with festive checkered table clothes covering the tables, bright red and yellow pails brimming with ice cold chilled drinks, baskets heaping with muffin shaped peanut butter brownies, juicy flavorful burgers with all the fixings that taste as good as they smell, crispy potato chips and heaping […]

Some days motherhood sucks. 
Why doesn’t anyone ever say that?  They should have a chapter in every baby book titled “parenting can suck too”.  When you bring that sweet new baby home you never think that you’ll be horribly embarrassed when he chucks his sippy cup clear across the restaurant at lunch, that you’ll have to […]

For the last week my son has been wandering around the house sounding like Paris Hilton. 

I have a low tolerance for stupid questions and nosy people.  I have no idea how I made it through dozens of college classes and neighborhood association meetings all brimming with nosy hand raising dumb question askers.

It’s been said that I am the queen of party planning.  I’m not quite ready to take the crown but I will admit that over the years I’ve thrown some pretty awesome parties.  From that first kegger at Techie’s house (back when he was my new boyfriend), to our luau themed wedding, to my sister’s […]

Even though the show is designed for newlyweds it’s been fun for us to watch and play […]

What’s a girl gotta do to get knocked up?  Oh that’s right…become a man! 

So Techie is out of town and I’m under duress.  For normal people a night and two full days away from their spouse is no biggie, and for some even a welcome break.  But I’m not normal.  I HATE when Techie is gone especially overnight.   I’m a nervous ninny by nature and my dear husband’s very […]
