Netflix
Love is… waiting to watch the next episode
(psssst: I have to tell you that this post is sponsored by Netflix. But don’t let that make you click away. The post is mostly about Love. And that’s fun-ish to read about, right?) Well, Valentine’s Day is long over, and if I’ve understood social media correctly then you’ve all be loving each other very well…
A Whispered Promise
I see potential in everything. It is one of my charms, actually. I used to think it was optimism, but I think it is slightly more nuanced than that – especially because I can see potential without feeling optimistic. (And what a heartbreaking place that is to be.) This is why I usually love new years…
The Worst Christmas Present Ever (Or, That Time No One Knew How Strong I Really Was)
Gavin asked Santa for Netflix on his Nintendo DS. (And here is where I say that this is one of my Netflix blog posts, written because I am a StreamTeam blogger but is actually a hilarious story I would have told regardless of whether I was sponsored by Netflix or not, so just keep reading!) It…
Two Mugs: The Gift of a Girlfriend Date
Every once in a while, I write about the realities of making friends as an adult. It isn’t easy. Being an adult can be downright lonely. I have recently come to the conclusion that much of the problem lies with me. Deep-seated fears from adolescence leave me assuming that no one really ever wants to spend…
A Real Life Horror Story
There will almost certainly not be carved pumpkins in front of our house this Halloween. I mean, it is already Halloween, we only have one pumpkin as it is, we’re entering the third week of sick that is lingering in our family and I am now trying to figure out what it really means to…
Consciously UnBusying When You Need a Break
What a month. I started September feeling like it actually wasn’t going to be as nuts as many Septembers often feel. As a family, not much changes for us this month. When people asked if I, like many mothers, were ready for her kids to go back to school, I could never really be too honestly…
Rocking This Parenting Thing | A Netflix Giveaway
My husband and I argue about music all the time. If we’re being honest, it is probably worse in the car. If I am going to listen to music, I want it to be something I definitely like and probably also want to sing to. I’m the type of person who likes to have all the…
He Says/She Says Reviews: Dark Matter
Dan and I have been watching a lot of Netflix this summer. This is because of three reasons: We are leaving the house less because we’re trying to be a little more frugal. We cancelled cable¹. We are trying to spend a little more time being together doing — whatever. Now when we turn on…
Put Them to Work
Please excuse the mess. The children are making memories. Is that how the saying goes? The truth is that the mess you see in my home means that I have a husband who works way more hours than full-time and three little boys who seem to actively try to undo any of the housework I…
22 Things to do on National Goof Off Day
Before we were married, before we were dating, and before we had even met in person, my husband used to start every day with an MSN message to me that said, “Do you know what day it is?”. He would then proceed to tell me what weird and wacky “national holiday” it was. Without that schtick, we would…
