Chances are, you have at least one person on your holiday list who is an iPhone junky.
You can tell they’re an iPhone junky because you know what kind of freaking cell phone they have. They don’t call you.  They “call you on their iPhone.”  They don’t lose their phone or their cell.  They lose their [...]

Listen, I don’t subscribe to the idea that there are girl things and boy things.  While I may be what is typically called a “girly girl”, it’s by choice and not genetic shackling.
If my kids want to play with dolls, trucks or lab rats, I don’t care, as long as I don’t step on it [...]

My favorite snack food in life is popcorn.
Specifically, I love buttered popcorn.
More specifically, I like popcorn drenched in warm butter and coated with salt.
Air popped popcorn, as far as I’m concerned, is from the devil.
But oh, how I love my hot air popcorn popper.
I have a Presto Poplite Popper that I am not supposed to [...]

My friend Deanna sent me an instant message last week to see how I was doing.  I assured her that I was, still, doing fantastically awful.
And then she did the most annoying thing that people always do when they know you are feeling awful.
She recommended a book to me.
I don’t know why I didn’t punch [...]

I first read about the On Task On Time unit over at Work It Mom.
I spent the next 30 minutes figuring out how to get my hands on one, and then sent a barrage of pestering emails to their PR department.
A few days later, FedEx delivered salvation to my front door.
Let me back up.
I have [...]

I’m a good daughter. I call my mom almost every single day. It was important when I moved that we found a way to maintain the closeness in our relationship.
That means I wake her up at about 7:00am her time nearly every morning so that I can talk to her on my drive [...]

I was contacted by the girls of Clever Girls Collective a few weeks before BlogHer09 and asked to be a “brand ambassador” for Yummie Tummie Shapewear while attended the conference.
Basically, they were going to give me two free Yummie Tummies and asked me to talk about my experience with them.
I agreed.  Mainly because I love [...]

Full disclosure:
I did not buy a new point and shoot camera recently.
I have a Nikon Coolpix digital point and shoot that I carry in my purse and a Nikon D50 that I haul out when I actually care how the pictures turn out.  I love both of them and am extremely happy with the way [...]

I can’t believe I paid $18 this weekend to replace a tube of lip gloss that I lost.
But really – it’s that good.
So good, in fact, that I willingly endured another trip to my local ULTA so that I could plop down $18.  For lip gloss.
Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips is currently tied with Burt’s Bees [...]

I’ve recently developed an obsession with watching TV series on DVD.
I love that there are no commercials, which means I can watch a 30 minute show in about 20 minutes or an hour long episode in about 45 minutes.  Never mind what that says about how much programming we’re actually getting on TV these days. [...]
