Butterfly Wings

I am honored that the adorable and talented Angela from Tiaras & Trucks (@Tiaras_Trucks) is here today sharing a parenting story of bugs and fear. Except the fear of bugs is all hers and not the kids’. It’s never very good when the mama is the scaredy cat, ya know?  – – – – – -…

Pick Your Social Media Poison

I’m a big believer that it’s OK to be a bad blogger. We can’t do everything and we shouldn’t try. We simply are not being effective if we attempt to “do it all”. But I do think that if you are going to dive into the social bookmarking arena, you need to seriously consider using…

So, How Effective *Is* Sniffing It Up?

More crazy than the connections you can make with people you’ve only ever tweeted with online, are the connections that are made online…that turn out to live one town over. Months after first connecting with KLZ from Taming Insanity on her blog and Twitter, she and I figured out that we actually grew up just…

The Gift: Hooters-Style

This is a husband story like no other. Courtesy of Jessica of Four Plus An Angel. Her guest post is truly divine, will make you laugh, and will make you want to ring her husband’s neck. Without further adieu… – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –…

I Need a Little Break for Me

Julie from Dutch Being Me (@DutchBeingMe) recently started a weekly series entitled, “Wisdom Wednesdays“. Her goal is for a guest blogger to share a bit of wisdom about life that he or she has learned. Today Julie has welcomed me to her place. I’m talking about a valuable lesson I learned in college, after ending…

Warning: Toddler Invasion Ahead!

In less than a month, I’ll *technically* be living the life of a mom to a kindergartner and preschooler; my “life with a toddler” days will officially be behind me. (Well, except that Maddie seems destined to wear diapers. But that’s a different story for a different day.) I’m so happy to have one of…

What I Wish I Knew Before I Started Blogging

Jacki from The Raven’s Spell has invited me over to her place to discuss the things I wish I had known before diving head first into this deep bloggy sea. But no hints from me; you’ll need to click on over to read about all that I’ve discovered in the past 15 months. Thanks! Related…

Google is God, Apple is Jesus and BlogHer is Awesome

Apparently, the Powers That Be at Apple feel I’ve paid off my debt of disparagement to their name. My post entitled, “If Google is God, Apple is Jesus” was just syndicated at BlogHer. I’d be ever so grateful if my faithful, fabulous readers stopped on by this weekend and showed my Mac-doubting post some comment…

Pause Life for a Moment

My days of a baby in a crib, diapered bottoms and bedtime snuggles are quickly coming to an end, and I’ve been trying to make a point to savor these final fleeting moments before they’re gone forever. The lovely and sweet JDaniel4′s Mom has been hosting a series where she invites bloggers to share about these…

A Proud Mommy Moment

Life with kids makes days turn into weeks, and weeks into months, in a blink of the eye. We moms often try to stop and capture the moments with our camera, but there are conversations, stories and events that snapshots cannot do justice. Kir of The Kir Corner has been running a series of posts…
