This is the time of year that I start wearing my snow boots and winter coat inside the house, all day long. I get so cold every day when we are trying to do our school work. I turn up the heat, I drink hot drinks, but nothing seems to help. My feet are still cold!…
This week, I am celebrating my 11-year anniversary as a stay-at-home mom. This has been the best job I could ever have hoped for. However, to commemorate this momentous occasion, I also want to point out one of the perils of going to work at home. When I first started staying home more than a…
A couple of years ago, it was Cubs-White Sox night at Awana. Since I’m the one who buys clothes for everyone in this house, the kids didn’t have a stitch of sports-related clothing in their closets. I called my husband from a last-minute clothing search at Wal-Mart a couple of hours before it was time…
For those of you who know me well, you will probably find this hard to believe. In fact, I find it hard to believe myself, but it’s true. Here goes. Back in my 20s, I had an unnatural obsession with the turtleneck. From November to March, my wardrobe consisted mainly of every type of turtleneck:…

This question is for the both of you… as in ALL of my blog readers. I really need to know what you think. A friend the other day said she was debating between asking her husband for one of these two Christmas gifts: 1. a Keurig coffee maker or 2. a pair of Ugg boots….
I didn’t want to say anything. But deep down inside, I knew this day would come eventually. You see. I’ve tried to ignore it. I’ve turned the other way when the straight-leg jean started making its appearance in stores. I averted my eyes from the dreaded skinny jean. I ignored the leggings, knowing there was…
I realized over the weekend that I have left a lot of unfinished business on the blog lately. I bring up topics, but then I never provide an update on the outcome. Well, on Saturday afternoon after several days of battling a cough and runny nose and taking about five naps a day, I got…
