My #FirstWorldProblems

As I laughed at myself while posting to Facebook and Twitter last week about the inconvenience I faced due to the battery in my car key pad being out, I started to think about all the #FirstWorldProblems we “endure” day in and day out here in the US. You know, things that aggravate us when…

The Things I’ll Do for Love (of PopChips)

What is a serial snacker to do when her absolutely most favorite ever, too-DIE-for snack is next to impossible to find in the store? Why, she orders a case of it from Amazon. Naturally. And then when she opens her glorious gifts from the UPS Gods, and takes her first, long-awaited bite?   All becomes right…

My Loves

This week, I have 4 little creatures to be thankful for. My twin… My “Mommy & Daughter Preschool Time” My first “baby” My learning-to-love-to-cuddle pup What do you have to be thankful for? * * * * * * * * This post is part of #iPPP (iPhone Photo Phun), where we link up photos…

My {Handmade} Crush

One of my most favorite pieces of social media, search and the web is how it can dramatically level the playing field among businesses. Now average consumers can much more easily find, interact with and shop from businesses both large AND small, opening the commerce door for the “mom & pop” shops out there. Allyson…

When People, Pets and Things Break

We’ve had a rough go recently around BBCD. Jack has some severe disc problems in his back, initially leaving him unable to move and shuddering in tremendous pain. Then, our pool grew a leak. A MAJOR leak. Like, a you-can’t-walk-in-half-of-our-yard-without-muddy-water-coming-over-the-top-of-your-feet leak. We had to drain (what was left in) it, and have the liner replaced….

When Kid Spell Turns Ugly

For as long as I can remember, the girls have decorated my walls with their kiddie masterpieces. I don’t mind it, though I think more than a few people who have entered our home have given the side-eye to the scraps of paper dangling precariously from tiny pieces of scotch tape. Because they adorn every…

Pink, because no one wants black.

In the last year or so, we as a family have made a conscious effort to involve the kids in gift purchasing. The girls get to choose what they each want to give Craig or me, plus each other, for Christmas and birthdays. Friday was my birthday, so the biggest Jostes family shopping event in…

The One Where I Try to Be Stylish

I’ve been trying to make a conscious effort this year to jazz up my wardrobe. Nothing drastic, but maybe some new shoes, a few pairs of earrings (besides the studs I wear day in and day out), and attempts to fix my hair every once in a while. When my most recent Zappos box arrived…

Tooth Evacuation, Mom-Style

It all started innocently enough. Kate’s bottom 2 teeth became wiggly, with one waaaaaay more wigglier than the other. She stopped biting into food with her front teeth because it bothered her too much. One of her 2 bottom teeth could be moved 90 degrees forward as well as wobbled from side to side. Then…
