How much time do you spend finding a great pair of shoes? Insanely hot earrings? What about the perfect winter coat? I’ll be honest, for me shopping is about quality first, then price, and fashion last. I’m cheap thrifty, and I can’t seem to kick the habit even though we’re not starving college students anymore. So when I was asked by Mom Spark to test out a few winter coats and pick a favorite, it was nice to look at…

You guys, Pinterest is the new black. The new shiny + glittery. The new happy. The new Best of the West. I can’t get enough. And even when I neglect Pinterest because I’m busy, you know working, it doesn’t abandon me for other lovers. It stays exactly where I left it, filled to the brim with pretty + sparkly. Here’s what I found this week on Pinterest; it’s all about style. The new high low, the new…. well. You get…

Even though my pregnancy was less than standard, my labor (thankfully) was as smooth as silk. I pushed for less than twenty minutes while my family congregated just outside the delivery room door, but when my daughter arrived she didn’t make a sound.

Regular chocolate chip cookies are enough to make my mouth water. Chocolate-chip-raisin-oatmeal-cookies? Holy sister, pass me a spoon. I’d never eaten cookies in a dish until I went out for dessert one late night in Laguna Beach with my girlfriends Carrie, Kelly, and Julie. I don’t even remember where we ate, but I do know I ate snarfed a cookie the size of a pan, warm and straight out of the oven, a scoop of melting ice cream on top….

I’m sure you all have a fashionable friend, the one who shows up to the park looking like a million bucks on a Tuesday afternoon? That’s my friend Kelly from Just Spotted. Frumpy isn’t in her vocabulary. She wouldn’t know frumpy if it smacked her in the face. She’s just one of those hot moms who looks amazing every time I see her, but I can’t loathe her because she’s too wonderful not to love completely. Once in a while…

I told you last week Viktor was headed in for surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. He had the surgery, he’s in recovery, and I’M still in bed, recovering from playing nursemaid. Turns out all those jell-o and ice runs are a little exhausting. For me at least, Viktor feels just fine. I was terrified for Viktor going into surgery. I’ve been under the knife enough times to know the risk, and to be worried with him/for him/by him/about…
