I’m Not a Coffee Afficionado, But I Know Good Coffee [Giveaway]

Back in my work-in-an-office days, one of the office perks was free coffee. To call this freebie a perk is a stretch. This free coffee was delivered by the box load ready for brewing in the office kitchen. It served to give you a little pick me up, but this coffee had the worst...

Stress was my middle name when my oldest was a baby. My husband and I were living in a whirl of work and school. He was an English teacher who coached two Varsity teams for the high school he taught at. And he was in graduate school at night for his PhD in English...

Holiday Gift Guide: GeoMag, the Kid Magnet

I thought I was so CLEVER. The large box arrived before the holidays. I stashed the box in the corner of the kitchen. With the family calendar and bulletin board up on the wall, I knew that no one would notice a box on the floor. Add an overflowing magazine rack and small computer...

My Kids Always Get the Mail First #skylanders

There’s a problem with having a house full of readers. You want to know what it is? You can never again have a box, package, or envelope delivered to your house without a child reading the name of the sender or the logo of the product itself written on the box. Call me an...

What Will You Get for Dinner? #KFCFresh [Giveaway]

As I walked through the KFC HQ a week or two ago, I could not miss the very recognizable smell. It was the smell of chicken…KFC chicken. It was everywhere. The smell of chicken seemed to follow our band of bloggers. It brought me back to my childhood. I have very strong memories of...

Learning Something New About a Brand I Have Known About for Years #kfcfresh

A few weeks ago I took a quick trip to Louisville, KY. And by quick I do mean quick. I was in the air or on the ground for about 27 hours. Quick. The trip couldn’t have come at a better time. I was knee deep in writing before the trip. I made a...

Family Organization by AboutOne…Coming Soon!

Family + Organization = ?@?$#?!? When I look at the above equation, I see the crowded-with-dates kitchen wall calendar. I hear the anxious voices of my husband and I trying to calculate how 2 of us will get 3 kids to 4 different places on 1 night. I feel my throat get tight as...

As a college student, I discovered the Jerry Lewis Telethon one Labor Day Weekend. I was new to the U.S. having recently moved from England to Pennsylvania for college. As a kid in England I watched TV, but I had never seen a televised program designed for the sole purpose of raising funds for...

Bathroom Talk Is Now, O.K. #CloroxLounge

February 27, 2012
By

The grimace. You know the one that you make when your children says something about the bathroom or anything in the “toilet talk” range of conversation topics. You cringe. You take a sharp intake of breath. You pray that your child doesn’t go off on a rant about toilets, pooping, and any other toilet...
