Who am I kidding: Fabulousness is exhausting to keep up with sometimes. I am TI-RED these days (so cliche, but so true). So, here are my top 5 fake-outs. Friends who witness me showcasing 3 or more of the following tricks at one time, now you know when I’m faking it. (Hey, I just rip…

The F- & G-words I hate the most. You should too.
Parenting Fails = Quite possibly worst words in the world. I must rant about this. I’m SICK of hearing moms say “I feel like I’m failing.” It also tries my patience hearing moms say they feel “guilty.” Stop it. Now. Because you’re not, you shouldn’t… and it’s offending me.

Fab Find! Make yourself fluttery.
I’m usually a sucker for anything under $10 that packs a colorful punch and induces “oooohs” and “aaaahhhs” from those who see it. This is one of those things… and, it has wings!
