Books by Comedians

I think I like the weirdest, eclectic mix of shows and podcasts … until I talk to my friends and realize other people like the same kind of weird mix. One day I’m binging on true crime podcasts or Netflix documentaries, then the next day I’m binging on comedian stand-up specials. My taste in books […]

Easy Dr. Seuss Character Costume

I love Dr. Seuss as much as any mom who loves books. I think we have 99% of his books and reading them to my kids are some of my favorite book-related memories. I even become a rapper when I read some of his books … I mean, who doesn’t read “hands hands fingers thumbs, […]

Tween & Teen Books

I had a major mom-fail moment at Christmas. My girls always write “books” on every wish list for Christmas and birthdays. Sometimes they know what books they want and sometimes they just say “books” and I’m supposed to figure it out. This Christmas, my kids didn’t ask for very much, so I tried to at […]

LEGO Day! {Tips For A Fun & Easy Day}

I think there were a couple specific things that made our Lego day so awesome. Yesterday, we didn’t go anywhere and spent a relaxed day at home building with LEGOS. At one point, one of my kids said “Thanks, Mom.” I was confused what she was saying thanks about, so I asked. She said “For […]

What I Do For Fun {While I Work}

When I’m challenging myself to do something difficult, I try to make it as easy as possible. Early morning appointment with the kids? Sure, I prep every possible thing the night before. Tough night with the kids? Sandwiches for dinner. Need a little entertainment while I tackle a boring job like laundry folding or bathroom […]
