It’s no secret…I spend a lot of time on Pinterest. Whether managing my clients’ various accounts or pinning to win something, I absolutely adore this social media platform. Here are a few of my favorite pins from this week:
We all need to do a little Poe Dancing via You Know it Happens at Your House Too‘s board TEE HEE:
I always wanted to have a daughter. After having three boys and knowing instinctively each time that I was carrying XYers, I kind of gave up on the dream. I didn’t think being the mom of a little girl was in the cards for me. And I accepted that reality. My boys were the greatest gifts, and I was a pro at raising the male population.
Things really do change in a heartbeat. Twelve years after having my last son, I became pregnant again. From the moment we first read the positive result on a home pregnancy test, I just knew. I knew she was coming. Everything told me that inside I was carrying a little girl, an XXer. She arrived in December 2011, Alessandra Rayne. Read more
Preparing meatloaf does not have to be complicated or include an endless list of ingredients – even though most recipe sites hint otherwise. Below is my easy, awesome meatloaf recipe, which is great for busy moms (and dads, too). Enjoy! Read more
I didn’t realize until today that we have an entire realm of football being desecrated by foolish antics and women running around in thongs and push-up bras. I’m a BIG fan of college and NFL football, and take the game probably way too seriously. It’s a tough sport with a lot of injuries and to see a mockery being made of it by a bunch of women who failed to make the cut for the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders, well, I’m not impressed.

It dawned on me the other day that I was told some wild stories when I was litte. From guacamole being lobster poop to liver being dried steak, it’s no wonder I don’t eat anything that I don’t immediately recognize. I was also told that the round, jelly looking things in tapioca were frog’s eggs. I never followed through on finding out what exactly was in this pudding, primarily because I don’t like it, I don’t eat it and, frankly, I don’t care. My kids took one look at this stuff on the store shelves and were like “NAH”, so there has never been a reason for me to poke around and find out if amphibians are hatched via pudding. On a freaky Friday, no less, I decided to poke.
Here’s a Skype conversation I had with my best friend regarding my lack of tapioca knowledge: Read more
I’ve never been a fan of kids’ birthday parties – whether throwing or attending. I know this makes me sound like a horrible mother, but there’s something about these parties that, for me, is like having to go to the dentist on a Monday morning. They might look fun and innocent on the surface, but you can damn well bet there is shit going down – sinister, weird, mean, crazy shit. Read more
Since Nick started back to work full-time, I’ve had to resume preparing and cooking dinner 5 nights out of the week. Thankfully, the crock pot and I are reacquainted and officially best buds again. Last night, I made an old favorite – crock pot BBQ pulled pork on flavorful bulkie rolls. It’s an easy recipe and a busy day win! Score the recipe here!
