An FYI: The following tale is part of a sponsored partnership with LG Electronic’s HOM-BOT Square Vacuum and Mom.me. All experiences and opinions are mine. Ah, The House. It’s a beast. It can get out of control so fast. How to clean house with kids can be, well, challenging. The toys. The dishes. The crumbs all over the…

How to prepare for motherhood? Work in show business.
So, if you read my little bio on this page (“Meet the Mommy”) you know I had two babies pretty much back to back: one was born in September 2010, the other one born in March 2012. Do the math. That’s not a lot of time between bumps and babies. (I still have no idea…

The Fabulous Snowball Effect. (Or, the ‘I Hate Christmas Cookies’ cookies.)
When I was a kid, my mom would laugh and say “I hate Christmas” (like, pretty much every year). This is a woman who plays the organ at church (every Sunday), would throw huge Christmas Eve parties for family and friends (my sister’s birthday is Christmas Eve), bake Christmas cookies and decorate her house with a ton…
Halloween Decorations to Make A Mom Freak.
Freak. After. Babies. (Aha. Strike of the F-A-B again…) You might freak over these Halloween tablescapes. I’m kinda into the boo-factor this year. I bought the candy way ahead of time. My girls and I got costumes figured out weeks ago (we’ve got a black cat and a white bunny happening here, folks… that is, assuming…
