The Grocery Store Manifesto: All the People Must Eat I am a professional Mommy. No really, I have a bachelor’s degree in Family and Consumer Sciences. Yeah, Home Ec. But, I can’t sew. Sewing is not necessary anyway. No offense to those of you who do, truly, it is beyond me. Why craft what I can buy on Amazon? This way I don’t have to lose a finger or buy extra sessions with my psychiatrist. Actually, I don’t see a …
Oh but story time… I really do love it. Maybe that is the only reason behind my need to continue to invite people to live with me? I love children’s books. And I do love to read to my little people. Among my other favorites is to gift these to new mommas… cause, you gotta start somewhere! It was a hard list to narrow, but here it is… My top 25 most beloved children’s books with links to each!

Our 5-year-old vandal son suffers from nose bleeds. Seriously, when the mucous membranes in this child’s nose are void of humidity, it’s like a scene from a Stephen King movie. He’s actually getting a little more accustomed to the onset. A few weeks ago if his nose started bleeding he would lose control of his bowels. Fun times. You can’t really blame him; it’s a significant amount of blood. Once, my husband accidentally ran over a kitten in front of …

Truth be told I love a spinach peach smoothie. As I gulp the icy delightfulness I picture my organs being saturated with vitamins, minerals, and “I am a good girl” vibes.
