My 15 minutes of fame.

Hey! Did I mention I’m guest posting at Glamour.com today?
I didn’t? 
That’s weird …

Rattled! A Memoir. A Pie House Giveaway.

A few weeks ago, Christine Coppa, the single mom blogger from Glamour Magazine’s Storked! blog emailed and asked if I’d be interested in guest blogging. 
Um, CHAH. Waddayouthink?
So, my guest post, it’ll be up tomorrow (Thursday). But don’t worry about that now, because I’ll definitely be reminding you again TOMORROW, APRIL 30. My guest post. Up tomorrow. [...]

Mother and Child Reunion

It dawns on me that I haven’t posted about last week’s trip to Connecticut to see The Boy. Despite the fact we were both sick at one point or another during our seven short days together, I can still truthfully say it was wonderful. Nothing like projectile puke at 4 a.m. and a day long [...]

New, improved, and now hair-free!

Forty-one.
Today I turned 41. Which I suppose means that, between the passing of another year and getting engaged for the first time EVER, my inner 11-year-old boy has probably matured to … 12? Call me a late bloomer.
I (we?) thoroughly enjoyed the night’s festivities. No drinking. No debauchery. Just one spring snowstorm, Grammy’s BBQ ribs, [...]

Little Miss Manners

So I’m in Connecticut with The Boy. No time to talk (ahem) … let’s just say it’s AH.MAY.ZING. With emphasis on the ZING. Badabump.
In place of a juicy post, I leave you with this little scene from the car earlier last week, as MP and I drove to town. Because it so perfectly illustrates one [...]

I had no idea the Bible included fairies.

This Easter was a first. I took MP to church.
The morning was spent hunting for eggs … 63 to be exact. Sixty-three eggs means a LOT of photos. By my best estimation, MP had had enough of the camera and “Show me the egg!” around number 38.

An hour later, after each and every egg had [...]

Bob the Egg.

Early last night, as is custom, MP and I dyed Easter eggs at Grammy’s.
Grammy got creative with her eggs, using paper towels and Pam Cooking Spray to achieve a sophisticated mottled effect. She’s so Martha.
I gave the tie dye technique a try. Apparently I’m more Woody Harrelson.
And MP, she named her eggs. Sam, Kamber, Taylor, [...]

All for one.

It’s 2 p.m., I’m sitting in a coffee shop surrounded by people. And the tears, they are streaming.
It’s funny, this community of ours. Call us Mommy Bloggers. Call us the Blogosphere. A powerful, and at times awe-inspiring collective voice. More often than not, a beautiful collective heart.
Our friendships forged over late night Tweets and Comments [...]

The Mutha of All Mommypie Giveaways

So there’s this woman. Her name is Sandra Magsamen, she lives in Maryland and she’s quite the entrepreneur. She creates a wide array of products — anything from baby books to scrapbook materials and even has a baby clothing line.
And because I’m lovin’ all things entrepreneurial these days, and cannot seem to tear myself away [...]

Linka the Moment: Spider Bills

Tonight I fully intended on posting Part Three of The Proposal Chronicles. Somehow though, it got to be 2:15 a.m. and my brain, she’s on lockdown. Shooting for tomorrow night.
In THAT post’s place, let me entertain you with Linka the Moment … I’m so trying this with Verizon. And I totally want this guy to [...]
