There are things about me that are extreme, to say the least. My feet are not just narrow, but are a size 9.5 AAAA. My vision is not just bad, it’s “can’t walk across the room without my glasses” bad. And my boobs are not just ample, they are, quite frankly, huge.
The thing is, I [...]

Saw a commercial for this new fruit-plus-vegetable juice and figured it might be a good buy for our vegetable-hating son. But would he drink it? Am I the lamest mother ever for trying to sneak in grape-flavored carrots?
Who cares!? He liked it!
We tried the grape flavor. Tasted just like strong purple grape juice to me, [...]

One of the many great things about having an 11 year old stepdaughter is having someone with whom to share my love of Harry Potter.
The release of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix has long been counted down in our house and since school is out now, we decided to attend the 12:01 [...]

Hi! Guess what I’m doing? Laundry! The wet, stinky, pee kind. Want to know why? Because when my in-laws put my daughter to bed last night, they didn’t make her change in to her Huggies Night Time Pull-Ups and when I went to change her my dense, darling husband said, “Oh, she’s a big [...]

A few weeks ago we purchased a Spiderman 3 Web Slinger Water Slide for our son at Meijer. We were out of town at the time and do not have that store anywhere close to us, making a regrettable purchase also not returnable.
We had issues with this product from Toy Quest from the beginning. After [...]

A positive attitude will take you only so far in life. There is also action, fact, and proof. I have not had a pregnancy end in giving birth, so for me, maintaining that positive attitude is tricky.
I want to believe that everything will turn out fine and at the end of this ride, I will [...]

During my travels ’round the internet I recently came across an offer I couldn’t refuse. No, it didn’t involve any godfathers or threats of concrete shoes but rather a free domestic round-trip plane ticket.
So what’s the dealio, you ask? It’s simple. You apply and get approved for an American Express card (no annual fee the [...]

For me the mark of a great author is someone makes me want to go out and read everything they’ve ever written, and I’ve been doing that with Janet Evanovich’s books for years.
Books in her “Stephanie Plum” series make me literally laugh out loud at least three times per book. So anytime a new book [...]

When we recently relocated, we used Rent.com as a resource to hunt down an apartment in our new city and state. As a website, Rent.com offers some nice options letting you search for the features you are interested in, such as bedrooms, min/max price and or course the ever popular location finder.
One cool bonus, [...]

I’m definitely a skeptic. When I see those infomercials on TV that claim to get grape juice out of carpet or hold ten elephants over the Grand Canyon with super glue and I laugh. Hard.
When someone mentioned to me that Crate and Barrel had an item that you could just rub your hands over and [...]
