The Mundane: A New View

by alli-n-son on March 02, 2010

The other day, I stumbled on this post by Mckmama. If you don’t know her, you should. She’s amazing. In one life altering post, she wrote all about savoring those small moments in life that pass by too quickly. Those moments that you forget to cherish, the ones that slip under the radar until they are gone. Kids grown up, moved away, moved on. This post made me stop, think, and change how I approach the most mundane tasks of our day...

Super Bowl Party: How to Throw a Perfect One

by Momversation on January 23, 2010

I'm just going to come right out and say it -- I'm not a football fan. I can watch it and mostly know what's going on, but I definitely do not have a favorite team, nor do I know any players other than maybe Tony Romo. However, I can enjoy watching the sport if I am with a group of people that get really into it, which generally happens around the Super Bowl. I'm not into loud, overcrowded bars stuffed with drunk fans, so I much prefer to watch the game from the comfort of my own home or the home of a friend. Because there are a zillion football fans out there that probably will host their own Super Bowl party, so came the inspiration for this post. I've recruited the help of super fabulous event guru Tamsin Londsdale, creator of the exclusive London-LA-NYC dining club, The Supper Club. She plans tons of events per month at the most exclusive venues and knows everything anyone would need to know to plan a rad party. So, thank you to Tamsin for sharing her insights. Below, Tamsin Lonsdale's top tips for Super Bowl entertaining...

Our Living Room, Now with a Less Piney Fresh Scent

by BuenoBaby on January 11, 2010

I spent Friday morning taking down our 2009 Christmas tree since it’s 2010, and I’d reached that point of the post-holiday season when every time I walked through the downstairs I wanted to cry out, WHO BROUGHT A TREE INTO THIS HOUSE? Hello? Anyone? Because it’s here, in the living room, and it would like a proper burial! Or a burning...

Mouse in the House!

by feastafterfamine on December 14, 2009

Every night before she goes to her bedroom, Esme says: "Keep the trolls and the mice and all the bad things out."

Every. Single. Night.

She's been doing this since last year when we had several unwanted house guests of the furry, four-footed variety. I'm pretty sure it started directly after my grand and comical flip out when one of the mice made its way from the kitchen into the living room.

I've protected my daughter and her bedroom from trolls, mice and bad things... until now...

Nesting (Not Resting)

by NineMonthstoLife on November 23, 2009

Nesting plus moving into a new apartment plus an already existing obsession with decorating equals one very tired pregnant me.

I've felt like a mad woman this past week. I wake up at 7 a.m., sometimes earlier, and the to-do list starts forming in my mind before my feet even hit the floor. I want things done, and I want them done now.
