52 New Things – Week 34
Trish -
My new thing this week was a money challenge. I budgeted a very slim week to try to save a little moola. It sucked. But I did it and it’s a nice reminder of how grateful I should be for being able to buy that extra little stuff here and there.

Tailgating. The Kid Friendly Way.
Contrary to popular belief the words “Tailgate” and “Kids” can co-exist. No, not like the good ole’ days of old with the keg stands, or the 3 beer challenge from the tailgate spot to the stadium. The days of sneaking liquor in in zip lock bags taped to your leg are most...

Keeping a clean house: the mystery solved!
The house. It is my enemy.
The toys seem to find a way to constantly inch their way in to the middle of the floor, and strategically under my feet. Matchbox cars are mot made to be stepped on. I’ve gotten puncture wounds, I’m not even kidding.

52 New Things – Week 33
Trish -
My new thing this week was not overdoing it. I love a party, and when it comes to planning one or both of my kids’ birthday parties, I tend to get nutty. This year the theme was “No theme, laid back fun.” And it was just those things.

Multiplicity – How Old is “Old Enough”
I’m falling into a terrible habit. I’m not sure if it’s my lack of “Parent of Multiples” experience or if I’m just flat out lazy most times. I tend to think it’s a little of both (we’re at least going to go with that.)
My twins are 2 years and some change....

Never Say Never….
I think at some point in every woman’s pre-kid life there are things that they swear they would never do or say when they become a mom… When I was kid-less I was never going to be “that” parent. I was going to be Mother Superior, I had it all mapped out…. In my head. It...

Type A Mom: Baby Fever vs. The “Plan”
By Alison
It’s not hard to spot a woman with a bad case of baby fever. Put her within a fifty-foot radius of a curly newborn and suddenly, her voice softens and heightens in pitch. Her arms stretch out, a smile erupts, and then, the magical inhale. You know the one – where the nostrils are...

52 New Things – Week 32
Angie -
Since I’m still eating no meat, I’ve started exploring the world of vegetarian recipes. This week I tried Vegetarian Stuffed Peppers – While they were hearty and filling the flavor was lacking. I will definitely try this or a similar recipe again in the future, it will just...
