Happenings around the holidays
It feels like something with the Holidays just didn’t jive this year. Something was off. I cannot pinpoint the exact reason but there was for sure something in the air this year, and I know I wasn’t the only one who felt it, because every friend that I spoke to shared in my misery. It’s … [Read more…]
It’s that dreaded time of the year. The time of year when you suddenly realize that you have failed as the matriarch of the family. It’s time for Christmas cards. Let’s be honest, you aren’t that busy. You should have your shit together, but in typical fashion, you don’t. I mean, how hard can … [Read more…]
I have a crisis at my house. A real catastrophe. I have lost the effing elf on the shelf.

My best advice as a parent is to always expect the unexpected….. It was supposed to be a glorious Saturday night. One that would go down in the books. Our friends have this fabulous, over the top, Christmas party every year with bartenders, fab food, ice sculptures, a photo booth, the whole shebang. The … [Read more…]
I feel like this elf is such a big part of our daily life this month, that I should at least give you some background on the origin of his name. Out of respect for the little creeper, of course. Story of my life…….Sneaky Butters!!!! I would like to add that Butters should up his … [Read more…]
