Boys, Boys, Boys! Wordless Wednesday

boys and their babysitter

KitKat, my oldest, is in love with two very cute brothers….and yesterday, they added another little boy to their family. She couldn’t be more thrilled. This afternoon, we took a little trip to the hospital, just me, KitKat, and a camera. For more inspiring photos, check: High Impact Mom, The Bonafide Life, Shanamama, From Dates [...]

Being a Kid for a Day #YesMemory – Give Me Your Best Shot #PSF

Dave and Buster's YesVide blogger trip

It seems like ages ago that I got back from my trip to San Jose to visit YesVideo’s headquarters, but it really wasn’t that long ago. “Real life” tends to envelop me and make those glorious days of travel seem to be more distant than they really are. I left my memory card with all [...]

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival – Wordless Wednesday

12Apr14_Kissimmee2_206

I had intended to leave my camera home for my Saturday at Disney World, but my friend Carrie convinced me that I would appreciate having a camera with me at Epcot. So I begrudgingly packed my heavy camera bag for the day. I am SO glad I listened to Carrie. She knew what she was [...]

‘Confessions of a Scary Mommy’ Book Release Giveaway

JillandLolliatpark

When I was a kid, I wanted to be an author. I wrote books constantly (even won some awards for a few of my elementary school novels). But, strangely, once I got to college, I didn’t pursue writing at all. I went in a different direction with no regrets. It’s funny to me that after [...]

I have been to several blogging conferences over the last few years, but there is only ONE conference that I make a point of attending each year:   Why you should join me at Type-A Conference: First of all, you will get to hang out with me. If that doesn’t convince you, read on…   [...]

Confessions of a Scary Mommy – An Interview with Jill Smokler

Lolli and Jill

I met Jill Smokler years ago, in the infancy days of our blogging journeys. We became friends before we realized that we were neighbors. Since our first meeting in 2009, we have come a long way….or I should say JILL has come a long way. Jill is one of my heros, and if being a [...]

WICKED Day in New York City – PSF/GMYBS

Map of OZ - Wicked at Gershwin Theater

Riding the train to New York City is wonderful. I love the 3 hours sitting in a comfortable seat (there is so much more leg room than on airplanes) and the free wifi is a huge bonus. The trouble I have with trains, however, is that I have this odd tendency to miss them. Yesterday, [...]

newborn baby girl

One week old and perfect in every way. I can’t get over how precious my friend’s new baby girl is. And I got to spend all morning with her. Today I am off to New York City to see Wicked and hang out with my blogging friend since 2008 (that’s basically forever, you know!) who [...]

Time With The Girls – Photostory Friday/Give Me Your Best Shot

Mirror Mirror bloggers with Lily Collins

It’s a funny phenomenon….I’ve always been terribly shy. I was always the one to opt to read a book alone at home rather than go to a party or be around big groups of people. Somehow blogging changed all of that for me, and I no longer find myself wanting to hide inside my shell. [...]
