I’m a quitter

Day one. Going good so far.

(AND NO I AM NOT PREGNANT. I am doing it the hard way this time.)

What the best dressed poor people are wearing

It’s the recession, yeah, but we were broke before it was cool to be broke. (Schoolteachers HOLLA.) (Journalists DOUBLE HOLLA.) (Single-income families SHOUT IT OUT LOUD.)
So when I splurge, I gotta have math skills.
Which I did, this weekend. Threw caution to the wind and busted out two twenty dollar bills. Hey, big spender.
Foremost, these shoes.

Proof that TV does not rot brains

Owen came up to me the other day and informed me that if I had anything heavy to move, like say his baby brother, I could just use an incline plane.
I was all, say what? And he was all, what. Saw it on Sid The Science Kid. And I was like, high fives, little smart […]

I wanted someone to prank-call me with an “Is your refrigerator running,” so I could scream at them “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE IT STOP. I’m tired […]

Happy Valentine’s Day from a distinguished gentleman

Hee. He looks so natural in a moustache, don’t you think? And if you want one of your own, here’s Martha’s instructions on making a moustache on a stick. That sort of thing totally does not need to wait until Halloween.
Anyway. I’m participating in a Secret Valentine exchange. And everything I got was moustache-themed. SO […]

Sewing: purple pajamas

Last month I dragged the kids to the fabric shop to spend a gift card on knits. I managed to find the last 3 or 4 yards of organic cotton jersey and bought it up. I asked Owen what he would like, and he firmly requested a purple rib knit that caught his eye for […]
