I am still pretty new to blogging so the idea of going to blogher didn’t even occur to me until recently when it became the most talked about thing on twitter. Now I’m feeling a little left out: sort of like the girl who didn’t get asked to prom. Tina from life without pink and [...]

My kids want to go camping. I don’t. When I think of camping I think of bugs, heat,  filthy feet, public showers and more bugs. Sure, I’ve been camping and it was awful wasn’t completely awful but I was a kid and at that time I only had to worry about myself. Plus, my aunts and uncles [...]

It was a really hard decision because there were a number of good suggestions. My girls really know what they like even covering their ears at some [...]
