The incident surrounding the construction of “The Door” proved to be an irreversible turning point in my partnership with Chef. I can say in hindsight that it proved to be substantially more divisive than the now infamous hair affair.
It's funny how something that happened 25 years ago can trigger a fight or flight response as a grown woman. Nothing like Class Parties at your child's school to force you to face the demons of your own schooldays.
Swearing on blogs, do you or don't you? I was curious on the subject myself, since being a ''Mom Blogger'' I was supposed to adhere to a whole set of standards. Which I pretty much disregard anyway.

A list of somewhat humorous, certainly not serious things that bug me. Please respond by telling me yours! (I know, I know, a bit cynical - but the point is finding humor in the bothersome things!)
Minimalism leaves the reader to take an active role in the creation of the story by filling in the blanks left by the author's spare prose. Hyperminimalism leaves more blanks for the reader to fill, as in the following example:
Something happened. A man with glasses was involved.
Most bloggers tend to write very serious blog posts. That is good as many people are reading blogs to learn new things. But I feel it can be too serious to only write about serious topics.

The list that every child MUST have. What would YOU add to this list of the best ways to annoy your mom? Or maybe you've got the Guide to Annoying your Sister or Brother. I want to hear it!
The Food Channel just released it's Top 10 Snacking Trends of 2010 and I thought, "Hey I should blog about that." Do you snack? Are you guilty of being a grazer? Check it out and tell me if you agree...were you snacking on THESE trendy items this year?
Mommy-hood changes things...and that's great. In fact that is the way it should be if everyone would take it seriously. But I feel as though there are an aweful lot of mommies out there that sugar coat being a mom. In my opinion, not all things about being a mommy are peaches and cream and I feel like it's taboo to talk about that.
So it's confession time, do you keep all you leftovers when paper crafting and stash it away in bags and little plastic boxes or are you the ruthless kind and anything less than good sheet of paper is only good for the trash can/bin ?
I'd like to see othe paper crafters admission as a hoarder or definite practical sorter: cardmakers, scrapbookers or mixed media paper artists; all of you can give me your input.
Go on don't be shy reveal your real side: hoarder or trasher ?
Popular opinion tends to stereotype those belonging to the “T T” culture with a double-widely accepted description that more or less pigeonholes a fairly diverse group as being comprised of those who...

You may have recently heard that the Oxford University Press, which publishes the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) each year, recently announced the new batch of 2,000 words that have been added to its current edition.
This article has sparked a lot of debate, perhaps due to its controversial nature. Nevertheless, I thought it might be interesting to share and hopefully you find it buzzworthy. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the matter!
As any parent knows, the moment you have a mobile child, you no longer have privacy. I haven’t peed on my own since 2007. That said, as your child grows older, that group bathroom break turns into an anatomy lesson. My husband and I provided Ella answers to “whas dat?” with the anatomically correct terms when asked.
Why I feel thankful to be a mother of three with a law degree who is looking into massage school... Every day, I locate my gratitude and post it on my blog. This practice not only helps me to stay positive, it inspires others to do the same. Often we share a laugh along the way.
When you are pregnant, your husband is like a one-handled faucet. You’re either turned on by him or turned off; there is no in-between. Well, all this got me thinking…well, about…toast. I think it’s a random pregnant psychosomatic disorder that makes all things relate back to food. Don’t believe me?

Don't you love it when a novel's narrator has that certain something that just invites you into his/her interior world from the very first sentence?
