Yes, I’m a bit bummed about heading back to preschool soon. Sue me. Whaaaaat?!? I know… it’s not normal. Every mom in the universe and beyond will soon demand written proof of my sanity. “I can’t WAIT for school to start!” said one of my exasperated mom-friends when I saw her a few days ago. “I’m…

10 fast time-saving tips for busy moms!
I LOVE wasted time. L.O.V.E. I.T. (Please say my sarcasm is loud and clear.) Time is the most valuable component of motherhood… period.

FACETIME: How to get makeup on in the morning? LIKE THIS.

FAMOUS FOOD! Mom-to-be Debbie Matenopoulos cooks it up.
You know her wild and fun TV host on “The View,” E!, TV Guide Channel and more… I know her as a castmate from Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” who dressed up as a dude our first day of shooting (totally unrelated to what this post is about, but thinking of it still makes me laugh). Meet…
