Yep, they are all mine.

Yep, they are all mine. I cannot afford therapy; therefore, I blog. My mission? 1) To provide my kids with a digital scrapbook of their lives, since it is entirely possible that I will die a young age from the stress they have caused me. 2) To provide myself with a creative outlet in hopes of relieving stress and not dying young. 3) Birth control.

Once again, I'm publishing a much less awesome version of Kate's much more awesome End of the Week Snacks. You can read her blog here. And you really should. DO IT. Recently Dissected Dammit, Janelle did it again. I LOVE HER. And her response...

it’s a catchy song.

A few things about this video: 1. Lily is rad. 2. I do not endorse her leggings-as-pants look. 3. I do endorse her one pigtail hair style. 4. She's so cool she dances with a cup of frozen mango. 5. This song is totally inappropriate for a four-year-old...

the mind and body update on the eve of 34

Hi-ya, friends. Our area didn't get the memo about beautiful spring weather this week. It's ok - I survived. Emotional eating, say what? I fell in love with these nachos in college...just as good as I remembered... Clearly. What's ...
