So I’ve decided it’s time to Spring clean myself. I’m not terribly unhealthy, but there’s room for improvement. I’m just so sick of always being sick. Since Christmas I feel like I’ve been battling one cold or respiratory infection after another. I know my two preschoolers are probably the culprits for spreading all the germs, [...]
I don’t know what kind of stage or phase Logan has been in lately, but I wish he’d get out of it quickly. He’s been so grumpy. And the best part is apparently he’s only crabby with me. I would love to be happy for him and everyone else who gets to hang out with [...]

If you’re ever in the mood for a good laugh, watch Ellen’s Bad Paid for Photos segment. It’s a riot to see some of the pictures people actually paid money for.

I was a latecomer to Facebook. I knew a number of people who had created accounts and couldn’t stop talking about it. I would smile and nod politely as they told me about an old friend they had found through the site. I just didn’t get it. I thought I would have to spend ages maintaining a [...]
