Yes, I’m a Twitter-holic. I am. And I am woman enough to admit it. Here’s my top 10 reasons why I know I’m DEFINITELY addicted: 1. I don’t have any time to scour Facebook (OK, nearly as much) looking for people from my “past lives.” 2. I have my Twitter account set up on my laptop, at my mother’s home [...]

Dear Kohler, I am the grandmother of 7 grandsons. Count ‘em. 7. Andrew is 5. Jake is 4. William is 3. Alexander is 2. Benjamin is 1. Henry is 12 weeks. And Dylan is 6 weeks. That’s a lotta… how can I say this delicately… pee. Yesterday is a wonderful example of this “stream” of boys. My husband (Grandpa) and [...]

As many of you know, my sister Jane is hosting a Hot Blogger Calendar contest.  Voting is in FULL SWING. And the votes are pouring in… it’s so cool to see. One of my favorite blogging mamas nominated me. *blush* I’ve been watching the results come in day after day after day. And well, I’m happy to report that the [...]

We call Audrey’s oldest son, William, “the sponge.” William soaks in information like… well, a sponge. He loves all things about space, dinosaurs, trains. He can tell you anything you need to know about Lego Star Wars or Lego Indiana Jones. He loves weather, as in I think he may be a budding meteorologist. But he also soaks in… and [...]

I got the best gift of my life today. I got a gift from my Nana. Yesterday my parents, brothers and husband went to my Nana’s apartment to finish clearing everything out. It’s one of those “tasks” that nobody wanted to do because everyone knew how difficult it would be… but it needed to be done. As my mother was [...]

As of September 5, we will have lived in our house for two years. That’s almost 731 days of staring at a white primed-but-not-painted wall. It’s time for some color. Last month I asked you, my readers, to help me decide which color to paint my bedroom. MyPerfectColor.com had sent me 5 different paint samples of Benjamin Moore paint to [...]

Boy-Oh-Boy. My husband dared me. Double dared me. Create Henry’s Nursery for $200 or less. And I took the dare. Not that he thinks Henry doesn’t deserve to have an amazing Nursery. It’s just that, having our 4th child now, we are trying to save a bit of money here and there. And the need to spend a ton of [...]

My husband, Barry. This is the hottest man I know. Red-hot kind of hot. Hot before hot was in. Mr. January? Easy. Cruising down a ski slop in his skivvies. He’s snow-melting hot. Or Mr. June? Why wear anything? Let’s roll around to Mr. October. Can you say “big pumpkins”? OK. OK. I see your frown. You’re evolved. You’re looking [...]

Stop & Shop works for me. It really does. Being a mother of 4 boys 4 and under, I can tell you whole-heartedly that Stop & Shop really does work for me. I live exactly 4.3 miles from my Stop & Shop. My husband and I laugh because when you see some of the commercials for Stop & Shop… you [...]

I never (ever) thought I would get excited about one thing in particular… POOP. Yes, poop. But as most moms will attest, poop becomes an integral part of your life when you have kids… and your relationship with it. How has poop changed my life? And become an exciting thing? Let me start with William. He now has learned to [...]
