Chihuly? LOVE HIM.

OH. MY. GOD.
That is all.
10 Reasons Why the Excalibur Was the Worst CES 2011 Hotel
Last week I went to the Consumer Electronics Show with Sheila/@xiaolinmama, one of my Clever Girls Collective business partners. We're great travel buddies, and loved hanging out with so many awesome women tech bloggers. And the show itself was filled with fascinating gadgets, plus we met Bill...
haha, picking the soot out of each other's hair....like MONKEYS! haha
That was such a great event. Who knew your evening was just beginning?? :)
Hopefully there will not be a #saveher11.
#Reverb10: Party
Reverb 10 is an online initiative created by Gwen Bell to reflect on 2010, consider, you know, what's next and, through daily writing prompts, help folks (like me) share their story. Since I am ALL about sharing (shuddup Garth, not your real name!) and my friend Shannon is doing it (although...
Great picture!
Nice to see the baby pool is still intact...hahahaha! :)
Living in the Moment
Glen and Hope, enjoying a spontaneous romp in the old kiddie pool and I'm just SO GLAD I remembered to charge my cell phone!!! I started this microblog, earlier in the year (ahem) since I am STILL way behind on updating my kids' baby albums (cough) with the idea of posting a picture...every...
I would like to thank YOU. :)
You're not only one of my fave bloggers, but one of my favorite people. xoxo
So thanks!
Thank You, Mindy Roberts: Keeper of The Mommy Blog - Adventures from the Wonderbelly of Motherhood!
I am very, very proud to partner TheMotherhood.com, along with 9 other fabulous mom bloggers (like me) in participating in P&G's Thank You Mom Program, by sending a special shout out to 5 mom bloggers, every day, this week. Why? Because, nice matters AND the mom blogging community is NOT all ...
That was priceless. As an added bonus, we can all rest easy knowing that if, God forbid, you ever retire from blogging someday, you've got a family member who seems to be willing to take over the reins! :)
Secretly, Secret Vlog
Secretly, Secret Vlog from Liz Thompson on Vimeo. This is what happens, when you go to work and one of your kids "accidentally" finds your Flip camera and attempts to video tape one of her sisters "not on purpose," of course! [snort] Such drama, eh? Love that she mentions my blog: "Do you ...
Great perspective; great post! My older son is a member of the class of 2010, and my younger one will graduate, like your youngest, in 2013. I've been an emotional wreck for more than a month now (though, oddly enough, the ceremony itself brought NO tears), and I find myself wondering how it will be the second time around...hopefully more laid back, like you are. I'll keep my fingers crossed!
Graduation: The Second Time Around
It hit me early, last fall. At the end of season soccer banquet, I took pictures of our son and a friend he’s known since he was four, both handsome and grown up young men I didn’t really recognize, yet know all too well. I realized: this is it. My second time around as a high school mom wa...
My son (15yo) wears these also, and I just found out how "in style" he is. Apparently he got his at one of the WALs (the smaller one). It's a cheaper trend than many others, so I'm happy! :)
The serious business of silly bandz
I knew this whole silly bandz insanity was serious business when my daughter lost one in the pool and acted like someone had just cut off her arm. Thankfully, I discovered that silly bandz do, in fact, float (eat your heart out, Mythbusters!), and after scouring the entire pool for a 20 cent li...
Give it a shot: even a five minute break is better than nothing! :)
We Interrupt This Commencement For A Break
My older son graduates from high school this weekend. These last couple of weeks have been full of senior activities: the Senior lock-in, Senior Prom, cap and gown pickup, final exams, Senior Awards Banquet, graduation practice, and yes, even Senior Ditch Day. He's not the only one with culmin...
I don't do it nearly enough, obviously. Need to change that!

You've got that right! Dogs rock. :)

I LOVE vistaprint. My business cards were printed by them also, and I am very happy with the quality AND prices.
Would LOVE to win the book! You know my e-mail already! :)
Vistaprint: Personalized Photo Book Giveaway
[COMMENTS ARE CLOSED: Congratulations, MitchJ -- please see your email for further instructions!!!] Vistaprint is a printing company that offers such great products as Birthday Invitations, Custom T-shirts, and Personalized Mugs. I ordered my business cards (pictured above) for BlogHer '10 ...
I wish you would stop saying you're the a-hole. The a-hole is your soon-to-be-former boss. I have no doubt that you have been an awesome manager at the club, because you throw yourself into everything you do and you have high standards.
Well, all except for that occasional laundry pile. But I digress...
I'm just a call away should you ever need another pep talk, and who knows: I may have some GREAT stories about a certain wacko that would make you laugh your butt off.
Hope you're enjoying your weekend, Joizey! xoxo
The Day I Quit Being the Good Wife
One of the ladies at the gym watches The Good Wife and keeps insisting that I would probably love it, too. "I dunno." You see, besides feeling as if I couldn't possibly relate to anything using the words "good" and "wife" in the same sentence ("big" and "dork," probably) I also have commitm...

Um, gross. But hilarious too!
Hopey's got spunk. I love it!

No Business 4 Boyz
My 8 year-old is SUCH a free spirit and, unlike her sisters, is a bit of a Tomboy, as well (she gets that from me) and, well, being the youngest of 4, the survival instinct is strong with this one. "I wanna do the Lip Sync show, again!" Last year, her older sisters helped choreograph Hope an...
Thinking about your dad today; hoping for a more-than-successful surgery and a speedy recovery! :)

Distorted, No Editing Required
Cross-posted at our 365 Day Project, taken with my cell phone, because my camera is borked. I broke my camera [pause for a moment of silence] it's sitting on the sideboard in our kitchen, right where I left it, after realizing that I could not get it to work, no matter how hard I pleaded with ...
Aww!
Happy Late B-day, Garth!
Or should I say, "Party on, Garth!" haha
A Time For Us, Maybe, Sometime Soon, Text Me!
My husband, Garth [not his real name] absolutely loved this edible arrangement he got from my brother and sister-in-law, for his birthday, last weekend. What did I give him? A reason to remember the beginning of his 47th year, here on earth, as perhaps one the worst mornings of his life -- oh,...
You guys are so adorable. And Garth needs his own sitcom.
Everybody Was Fast Food Fighting...HAH!
I came home from dropping the kids off at school, this morning (a.k.a. the land of the carpool lanes from h.e.double.hockey.sticks) and found this propped up against one of the kitchen chairs. My poor husband, Garth [not his real name] obviously, he's sick (and tired) of coming home and, well, ...
I LOVED this post. LOVED IT.
The Downside of an Empty Nest
It was a labor of love and a job well done, even if I'm the only one to say so. I would pat myself on the back if the bursitis in my right shoulder didn't make that so painful. I've paid my dues. I've served my time. I've raised two semi-well-adjusted, responsible children into adulthood...
