  Flaunt It Friday: Significant Others
  Flaunt It Fridays, relationships, photography, the blogger (14)

  This week’s challenge is meant to give us some insight into perhaps the most significant relationship in your life: a peek at you and your significant other.  No, not that kind of peek!  As I meet new friends through the blogosphere, I find myself wondering all about who they are and where they come from, what their life has been and how exactly they find themselves where they are today.  Part of that curiosity involves the diverse and many interesting ways that these people have met and paired up with their partners. If there is any relationship in our lives ...

  A Confidence Booster For Mama

  You are going to just love this one... themommykelly: (once again trying to force feed the Drama Queen meat) “Come on, Sweet Pea, have some num, num. It’s yummy!” Drama Queen: (standing in a chair at the table, laughing in my face) Ha! No! themommykelly: “It’s sooooo good, baby. Look. Mommy is eating it. Ummmm!” Drama Queen: (now half-lying on the table to avoid the spoon) “No dooooooown’t!” themommykelly: “Come on, Sweet Pea. Let’s eat dinner. Who likes dinner?!” Drama Queen: “NO - BO - DY!” Thanks a lot for that boost of confidence!

  Just For Fun: Motivation
  Just For Fun, modern motherhood, wit and wisdom (7)

  Everything we do, we do for a reason.  That reason is called motivation.  I’m not feeling particularly motivated at the moment, but just because I’m not feeling it doesn’t mean I’m not.  So as I try to avoid looking at the bills packed into the bill organizer looming on the shelf above my head and inadvertently end up glancing over at those three baskets full of clean laundry that have need folding for about a week, I can’t help but wonder, where is my motivation? Now I know that there is literally a ton of 2007 bookkeeping to be done ...

  Inevitable Misunderstandings
  thanks, What the Hell?, rants, wit and wisdom (7)

  Thanksgiving not far behind and the magical month of December quickly closing in upon us, it stands to reason that we should stop and meander a bit in the realm of the lovely and most entertaining world of what I will call, for lack of a kinder term, “Inevitable Misunderstandings”.   This misnomer of sorts is about the only title which I could possibly think of in my “having-eaten-way-too-much-over-the-weekend- now-dying- and-five-pounds-heftier-Monday” mode.  In fact, it’s taken me just about all day long to come up with this one. I have been seriously tempted to post under the guise of a more ...

  Flaunt It Friday Foto Flashbacks
  Flaunt It Fridays, photography, the blogger (12)

  I love this week’s Flaunt It Challenge!  Taking into account that, for some of us this is a holiday week and a week of thanksgiving at that, I searched high and low for a rather lighthearted and unusually fun post with which to challenge my Flaunt It Friends.  Fortunately, I didn’t have to look far beyond the large manila envelope sitting just above the office desktop, busting at its seams with ancient photos. What could be more fun than a Flaunt It Friday Foto Flashback?! I am certain that each one of us has at least two ancient photos in her ...

  100 Things About Me
  100 Things About Me, About, the blogger (0)

  100 things you should know about me… in no kind of order… 1. I am a thirty-something wife and stay-at-home mommy two times over heading for the forty loop 2. I work at home, work from home and work on my home all while balancing my mommy status. 3. I was queen of my senior prom. My then boyfriend, future ex-fiance’ was prom king. I still have the trophy in my parents’ attic as a relic of a past nearly forgotten in the wake of my life current. 4. I was a nun (technically a sister) for ten years. Yes, I’ll write more ...

  A Thanksgiving Post
  thanks, things you should know, inspirational (6)

  What would a mommy blog be without a Thanksgiving post during Thanksgiving Week? I apologize in advance for caving to the pressure, but I am certain that it is both equally natural and necessary to spend at least a few paragraphs of one’s time waxing poetical on gratitude in the shadow of this fast approaching holiday. Should you rather reflect on something else this week, fed up with the many thanksgiving posts, feel free to move on.  In my humble opinion, however, this post may actually be worth the read. I’ve decided to offer a bit of myself here. Whooooooooa! Thanksgiving has ...

  Decidedly NOT My Morning Coffee.
  life as it is, me time, morning (7)

  If the early mall decorating or the arrival of Thanksgiving were not enough to initiate us into the official start of the holiday season, my early Monday morning ventures have sealed the deal.   I should have known that this was going to be the start of a less than wonderful, crazy hectic week when our lovely local dumpster delivery guy cheerfully gave our doorbell a double ring at 6:15am this morning.  Whaaaat?! Fortunately, Hubby was still home and offered to move the family vehicle to the street.  Poor him, it turns out that the driver was also a talker who ...
