Avoidence

20th March 2010 | 3 Comments

My MIL will be here tomorrow to stay with us for a while. So, naturally, instead of cleaning like I ought to be, I’m avoiding it by posting. To be fair, I’ve already done a load of laundry, cleaned my bathroom and the end tables in the living room. But, um… there’s more to do. [...]


Life Savah

26th February 2010 | 18 Comments

With my first pregnancy I was on bed rest for months. Which translates into “not working.” Which equals BROKE. Therefore, we relied on the generosity of our family and friends in order to outfit both our daughter and her nursery. We were so blessed in that we were given just about everything we could possibly [...]


Vanity

2nd February 2010 | 7 Comments

Since I’ve lost weight, my face has become noticeably older-looking. Without all the fat underneath to plump it up, I look sort of drawn and gaunt. Also, WRINKLED. GAH! Specifically, those pesky naso-labial folds (aka: laugh lines) are aging me. I keep telling myself to wear them with pride as I’ve obviously smiled A LOT [...]


Things I love right now

25th November 2009 | 6 Comments

1. Burt’s Bees Natural Acne Solutions Purifying Gel Cleanser – First of all, let me tell you that “gel” is not an accurate term for this face wash. It’s really liquidy and thin. However, that isn’t a negative for me. I just didn’t want you to be surprised by the lack of “gel” like I [...]


Why I love Amazon.com

1st May 2009 | 8 Comments

I am consistently impressed with the customer service I receive from Amazon. This latest experience, however, exceeded my wildest expectations. My Kindle suddenly and inexplicably died on me. I tried a soft-reset, a hard reset and even removed the battery for a while. When my resuscitation efforts proved futile, I called customer service. I spoke [...]


I think I’m having a friggin’ heart attack!

19th May 2008 | 6 Comments

Hypothetically For real speaking, if you had $100 to spend at, I dunno, let’s say, this place? What would you get? Leave me a comment and tell me what product(s) you’d put into your cart. Because I am so psyched about getting to spend $100 on GIRLY STUFF that I can’t even form a coherent [...]


Things I’m Loving Right Now

29th April 2008 | 7 Comments

1. Arm & Hammer Detergent with OxiClean. This stuff is WONDERFUL! It took all the stinky milk smell out of Maddie’s blankets. Our clothes seem so much cleaner since I’ve started using it. 2. OxiClean Laundry Stain Removal. It’s like Spray ‘N Wash, but OxiClean. Maddie got strawberry juice on her brand new white t-shirt [...]


Hair

13th January 2008 | 9 Comments

My hair is well below my shoulders now. It’s amazing to me to see the pictures of Maddie’s birth and my hair wasn’t even to my chin. It’s grown so very quickly in this last year, but it’s different since I had Maddie. My hair is now super wavy and UNFORTUNATELY frizzy. Unless, of course, [...]


HEADS UP

10th December 2007 | 4 Comments

The Children’s Place has their winter coats 50% off and then an additional 30% off. The sale is online and in the stores, which is where I got Maddie a bad-ass new coat for $18.92 with tax. It was originally $49.50. You may be asking yourself “why does she need a big honkin’ winter coat [...]


My vacuum sucks

29th November 2007 | 8 Comments

Heh Heh… I’m so witty. I got a Dyson. The Absolute Animal, to be specific. I love it with the fire of a thousand suns. I vacuumed my living room the day before I picked up my Dyson, so I immediately came home to vacuum again just to see what vile and horrible things the [...]
