We’ve reached the point in NaBloPoMo where I suddenly realize it’s 8:00 at night, I haven’t written anything, and by god, I cannot give up. I just can’t. I caved last year and I’m doing so well!! So I asked Jen what I should write about and she said my crappy internet. That’s not really an interesting […]
Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope
If this post makes you feel twitchy or uncomfortable or offended, it’s probably because you’re guilty of what I’m about to discuss. That’s okay. This post makes me twitchy and uncomfortable and offended, too. Because I’m guilty of what I’m about to discuss and I know it. There’s a post making the rounds on Facebook […]
Acceptable Snacking
So, apparently I complain a lot and some people don’t think I like motherhood? Or staying home with my kids? Yeah. That was news to me, too. “Parenting is a human experience,” as Jill so eloquently put it, and I was just being human. The thing is I love this gig better than any 9 […]
Here’s the scenario
I need help, people. Because something happened today that I am trying to wrap my head around and I need to understand it so that my brain doesn’t just turn to liquid and pour out of my ears. Many heads are better than just mine, so let’s come up with reasons to explain what I […]
You say you want some resolutions. Well, you know.
It’s 2013 now and I’m supposed to make some resolutions. I cannot even begin to tell you what I resolved to do last year. But then again I can barely remember brushing my teeth yesterday, so the fact that I can’t remember what happened 365 days ago should come as a shock to absolutely no […]
Lauren Nicole Gifts, something for everyone on your list!
It’s pretty much no secret to people who know me that when it comes to gifts I like to receive, I’m about as typical a girl as it gets. In a word: I like jewelry. (And spa days.) I especially like personalized jewelry. (I also like giving away jewelry, so be sure to make it […]
Are you there, Internet? It’s me.
I’m on day 4 of AT&T being a bag of screwballs with our home Internet connection with their official word being that our service should be restored tomorrow night following their “unplanned” outage. Unhappy, thy name is Miranda. And that’s putting it mildly. You’d think that not having Internet access at home would make me…productive? […]
Checkpoint
The checkpoint of NaBloPoMo is here. The halfway point. 15 days down of 30 days of blogging. It occurred to me that I never 1) said what NaBloPoMo actually IS or 2) said why I’m doing it. So I guess better late than never. NaBloPoMo is a spin-off from NaNoWriMo. The latter is “National Novel […]
Public Shaming: It has to stop
This trend of shaming people for wrongdoings both perceived and actual has to stop. Yesterday, Jezebel published an article about teenagers who used racist language on Twitter after the election. The article listed these teenagers’ names, the cities and states where they live, their schools, even some of their accolades and college plans. All of […]
US Babyhuddle: Social Shopping
It’s not a secret that I’m a fan of the internet for basically everything: Information, conversation, and my personal favorite, shopping in my rattiest yoga pants. Seriously. With two kids on opposite nap schedules and cooling weather, online shopping is just how I do things. But it can be overwhelming. Price checking various sites selling […]
