My niece Zoe, who is four years old, spent the night with us last night. We had a great time, including a quickie trip to Wal-Mart wherein I decided that three children full-time? Is just ONE TOO MANY. The girls behaved beautifully ( they really are such good girls) but the talking. OH, the talking. […]

The tweets over there —> will return soon. I just have to get my tech guy to fix the problem I’m having since I changed my user ID. ( Hello, husband? Could you look into that?)

We bought a fixer-upper when we got married and almost immediately found out we were pregnant with Katherine. Lots of the fixing up got pushed aside to make way for more important things like sleep and now here we are seven years later finally getting around to a few tiny little household things that have […]

I’m going to a wedding tomorrow night that will have lots of friends/family that I haven’t seen in awhile. I’d like to look nice, if not skinny ( there’s just not enough time for that!) so I pulled out my very favorite black dress today. Behold:

That’s me and my super cute mom. Check out how […]

But I feel badly for Jon and Kate, and their Plus 8. I know, I know. They ASKED to be on television. But with 8 kids and the offer of $75,000 an episode? I can’t say that I could refuse that.
And now the rumors of affairs and divorce are swirling and all I can think […]

Fresh Produce, a cute casual wear company, has now started making plus-sized clothing. Good for them, but do you have to call the plus-sized line “Extra Fresh?”
That’s just wrong.
