Is 16 Years a Long Time?
We’ve been in our house almost 16 years. Still have not painted the master bedroom, one bathroom, living room, and dining room. Builder’s white…I loathe you. The rest of the house has been painted. In fact all three children’s bedrooms have been painted 2 or 3 times! My teen’s bedroom has gone from Winnie... »
What Age: Cell Phones…ipod…itouch…Nintendo DS? @BitMoms
Cell Phones We let our girls (now 11 and 14) to both get cell phones in 6th grade. Both spend all day at volleyball tournaments 2 weekends a month. Their dad is always with them, but if he had to leave early the girls would have a way to contact us. The other moms and... »
Surviving Girl Scout Camping
Camping is a memory I will have a hard time erasing. The wet. The damp. The bathrooms. The shower! My goodness how could I forget not showering. The floor of the shower was extremely cruddy. No way was I stepping on that floor! My two daughters went to a couple of GS camps. I agreed... »
Trot over to Maryland
What question perplexes me most on forms and questionnaires? The question I find most difficult to answer is what major city do I live closest to? As a child through my pre-children years, I would have had several answers: 0-4 years — Manchester, England 5-8 — New York City 9-10 — Manchester, England 11 — New York City 12-15... »
A Stitch in Time
I sewed a button on my husband shirt last night. It was a long involved process. First, I had to find the sewing kit. The shirt was easy to find as my husband has reminded me every morning for the last week that he is down to his last “three shirts…two shirts…one shirt.” Once... »

What’s Your Shopping Style?
If I shop without a list, I end up buying many processed or packaged foods. A shopping list coupled with buying specific menu items helps me stay focused. I am not a good cook, so a recipe gives me step-by-step and ingredient-by-ingredient directions. Read: Idiot proof! I would be ideal candidate for... »
Help! I’m Stuck in Tax Prep Hell!
It’s 2:08 a.m. Why am I still up?? Why did I not listen to my husband? Why did I not give him my mileage, expenses, and payment information last week or even a month ago. Now I am trapped looking for receipts I thought I had. My husband is not happy with my procrastination.... »

I Can Find My Verizon Palm Plus Phone in a Haystack
I was searching for my phone the way I usually do: Check bag. I use a canvas tote bag as a purse. It was my swag bag from the NYC Blogger Brunch. My bag holds my wallet, Coupon Caddy, various permission forms and school papers, 4 or 5 books (I’m a book reviewer), a bottle... »
