Jeremy and I are bad holiday shoppers.  Christmas is 2 days away and we’ve got a handful of presents for about two dozen folks, not to mention I’ve got to work both days leading up to the festivities.  We don’t even have a gift for Dessa yet!  We were on a manhunt for Kota the [...]

I haven’t been outside, not counting my two minute trip to check the mail yesterday, since Friday at around 1:45pm.  It’s been snowing on and off since then but I can’t blame it on the snow.  I could very easily have jumped in my car and gone for a spin, done a little much needed [...]

At first I thought it might just mean things like hand made building blocks [...]

I’m a big supporter of all things mom made and small business and all that good stuff. So imagine my excitement at the site of the Snack Trap. Genius, no? No, not so genius. And this isn’t a complaint because maybe it will work perfectly in several years but I guess by then we hopefully [...]

I don’t run my own business, I don’t work in the marketing department for anyone and I’m not trying to get or sell anything. So sometimes I wonder why social media matters so much to me. You’d think I have some sort of master plan; I don’t. I have a MySpace page (near defunct since [...]
