The day started out just like any other boring, routine day. I got up, made my coffee, cringed at my sleepy reflection in the mirror, had a piece of toast, and dreaded everything I had to do on my “DO IT” list. No biggie, just a normal weekday. As I shuffled, still half asleep, around …
Shopping
I have a shameful admission to make: I don’t like Girl Scout Cookies. I think Samoas might be the Pumpkin Spice Latte of the cookie world. It’s not that it’s so good, you just can’t get it all year long. Does anyone really like Thin Mints, or do we all just pretend so we don’t look …
It’s the end of Summer now. Time to wake up early, shove those kiddos into their brand new clothes and hand them their backpacks full of glue sticks and yellow plastic folders. You wave a tearful goodbye as they board the school bus. As you close the door, you weep. Not because your baby has …
If you’ve seen that meme about someone drinking and Priming (Amazon Prime that is)… that’s me. It’s not my house, but I’m that person. Can it be ordered online? Can I schedule a pick up and never have to go into the store? I’m that person. Which is kind of funny since, yanno, I’m an …
Now, it may not seem like a habit that requires professional help, but shopping in December can be just as overwhelming as last minute Thanksgiving day shopping.

A trip to Target can be the chore you’ve been dreading because you’re a tired, working mom or the only contact you’ll have with the outside world because you’re a stay-at-home mom who’s running dangerously low on toilet paper. But while you’re there, see if you …
My parents have been married for forty-five years. I feel I should write this as an early disclaimer before I completely throw my dad under the bus and before I tell you how men shop for Christmas. See, my dad is one of those guys who doesn’t always…know…what his wife is into. It’s not that he …
I freakin’ love to shop. It’s ridiculous. I’m not really a fashion show/montage kind of girl or anything, but I could spend like seventy-nine bazillion hours looking at pretty things, putting them in my cart, and even occasionally buying them. When I’m a New York Times best selling author with multiple book/movie deals and unlimited …
Well, my little girl was looking a little scraggly today, and her bangs were in her eyes, so I took her to get her first haircut! She got to watch an Elmo movie while sitting in a little car… so all in all it was a pretty good experience… I got a little stressed out …
