More Mamma Chia (giveaway post)

by

To my surprise Kinder-Tornado still ADORES her some Mamma Chia! We are longtime fans of chia up in herre. But I wont lie to you. It was a love affair whose spark had dimmed. Significantly. Im not sure when it happened----but I slowly returned to my flaxseed-loving ways & Ren Man & Tornado followed. And then Mamma Chia entered the scene. (here's where I stop to clarify ...

Save the DRAMA…

by

for another mama. As I sat here watching the Tornado eat a donut nosh on some tofu & feeling entirely calm/peaceful I began to wonder. Again. (An no not about the F-word.) I know many people would be doing with I am right now (and what I plan to do all weekend) and find it vaguely...unsatisfying. Not just because I live life in the slow lane (there's no way around acknowledging ... Continue Reading

My letter to a littler misfit.

by

This post is in no way original (it's been done by many others as 'a letter to my younger self').  This post was entirely sparked by the Tornado.   It was, in roundabout way, her idea. It's a reminder when we think little eyes & ears are NOT paying attention they are ("Mama I know that shirt! That's the same shirt from the long time ago picture!!").  It's a reminder I sorely ...

Breaking all the rules.

by

The golden rule of vlogging (aka video blogging) is never to exceed two minutes. We're all busy.  We're all skimming rushed.  You lose your audience. That important message presented I give you some long ass vlogs Kelly Olexa and I filmed at Blog World. Indeed they're (fingerquote) too long (unFQ), but despite the fact we've broken the rules the videos are jam-packed with ... Continue Reading

Where blog posts wither & die (part two).**

by

Yesterday I brought the Tornado to see Shrek the Musical. Again. (she requested the harry potter specs. she knows not who h.p. is.) You cant see but Im wearing these shoes. again. So glad I listened to all of you (especially Charlotte) and didnt return them. I love. I feel fancy. I look on the outside like the amazon I feel like on the inside. but I digress... We drove to Dallas (for ... Continue Reading

“Is she straight like us?”*

by

Our "straight" misfit family     The other morning I walked into the kitchen and found Tornado & Ren Man deep in conversation. You remember Miss. Sarah.  He was saying.  You just saw her a few weeks ago. The Tornado furrowed her brow and appeared to be deep in thought (is there anything better than facial expressions of kindergartners? is that really how we adults appear to ... Continue Reading

MizFit, Jackie Warner, Alison Sweeney, Dara Torres, Amanda Beard…

by

(If I rocked photoshop there would be a hilarious image HERE of us all hanging out) One of my favorite quotes is:  Show me the friends and I'll show you the woman. (no idea who said it & good ole Google proved no help. anyone know?) Ive found this true throughout my life. It was true in high school when my friends may have been less than desirable (you know, from a parental point of view) ... Continue Reading
