I think moms are possibly the busiest people on the planet. I mean, just today I have: fixed three meals + 3 sets of snacks for two humans, done three loads of laundry, written 5 articles for work, gone for a 2 mile run, weeded the garden, done a set of dishes, and talked to a friend on the phone who just had a baby and needs a little moral support. And my day isn’t even over yet. Busy. Very…

One of my favorite children’s books of all time {all time} is called Click, Clack, Moo Cows That Type, the Caldecott Honor winner of 2001.

There are all kinds of tricks to keeping your life…

I attended a fun bloggers lunch at Mrs. Fields Cookies headquarters a couple of weeks ago and came home with a handful of the cutest customized cookies you’ve ever seen. I mean, look: Problematically, they tasted delicious. I mean I can’t frame a cookie, right? So I did the responsible thing and ate them. We all do our part eventually.
It’s been too long since my last thrift store haul trip, and I’m going through withdrawals. I don’t need any more stuff. In fact, I’m tossing things out of my house as fast as my little hands can go, but it doesn’t mean I don’t want new stuff.

Whether or not you love or hate the whole Twilight phenomenon {I’m a lover, don’t knock it}, these notepads by LobotoME are hilarious. I could see spending some time on the phone, doodling on the Edward Cullen side of the page. And if you’re not such a big fan, well, there’s room for you too. No hard feelings.
By the way, have you seen this 6th grader perform Lady Gaga’s ‘Paparazzi’ for a talent show? He’s breaking hearts already. And he’s twelve. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxDlC7YV5is]
