Last Wednesday, I was downright giddy about being on the phone with Katherine Heigl for a phone interview alongside some other lovely Mommy bloggers! You know the one right? From “27 Dresses,” & “Knocked Up”?!?! (I’m from MI, y’all. Celebrity interaction = zero to none. Excitement over any brush with celebrity = hysteria). Anyways! I’m excited to share with you about the call, which is part of a giveaway I’m hosting for TWO lucky readers! I’m giving away 2 Life... Read more
Dave has been really diggin’on my mohawk, which is why he was bestowed the great honor of touching it up. (Well, that & being flat broke) My bad. For those catching up: here’s the look I’m goin’ for… (more…) Read more

Last year, my little blog here had a grand old time using my picture clues to guess the name of biskie spawn #2. Most of you thought we’d use the name, “Martin,” or “Luther,” but no so!

It’s discouraging that it’s Jan. 28 and I am only now wrapping this up. If how late I am in this gives you any indication of how well I’ve begun planning goals & thoughts for 2011, then you are right: sadly, I’ve not put pen to paper -or fingertips to keys- for one single goal for...
