Those who know me currently might laugh at this post’s title, considering the fact that I am totally not a party person. I have a great time when I attend parties but I really prefer not to be the one in charge. The funny thing is, despite my discomfort at being the hostess, I admit [...]
Goodbye, WhyMommy
Monday, February 6, 2012 By 14 Comments
It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that I am saying goodbye to a dear friend today. Susan Niebur, the blogger behind Toddler Planet, has finished her fight with Inflammatory Breast Cancer. The cancer might have taken Susan, but Susan left an indelible mark on so many of us. It’s hard to imagine [...]

What do two blogging friends do when they meet for the first time? Photo by Kristi (from her iPhone!) They find a place to eat, of course! And what do those two bloggers do when they order a dozen famously gourmet cupcakes? Well, if they are photographers, they take pictures of those cupcakes for 20 [...]
The Amazing Race – Disney/Dreamworks Mom Blogger Style
Tuesday, December 6, 2011 By 18 Comments
I love New York City. There’s something so magical and so completely different about it. I’ve also been to New York City enough times to know that nothing is quite as easy as you might imagine (or hope) it would be. Take, for instance, the Disney/Dreamworks journey to the red carpet premiere of Steven Spielberg’s [...]
Finding My Inspiration – Photostory Friday – Give Me Your Best Shot
Thursday, December 1, 2011 By 9 Comments
I haven’t been taking many pictures lately. In fact, I feel like I keep saying that. Week after week I find myself coming up empty when I go looking for “my best shot.” Today, tired and full of anxiety (which has been particularly bad lately), I cleaned my house to get ready for a non-time [...]
A Week of Thanksgiving – Books
Tuesday, November 22, 2011 By 5 Comments
Thomas Jefferson once said, “I cannot live without books.” I don’t remember learning how to read, but I remember reading. My mom read to me daily. She read books like Where the Red Fern Grows and A Wrinkle in Time. We read them over and over. And then I found my own books and devoured [...]

National Hug-a-Blogger Day #hugablogger
Monday, November 7, 2011 By 3 Comments
I’ve always been a very private person. Strange, I know, considering the fact that I now share so much of my life online for the whole world to see. In school, I always had one or two close friends. I knew and was friendly with many people, but I only opened up with a select [...]
