It’s been a bit over a week since I started oil pulling and I’ve gotten quite a few e-mails about it so I thought I’d post a quick update. The headaches finally stopped – yay! A lot of you suggested I might be clenching my jaw when I am swishing and I think you were …
Stretch! Yawn! Crack! (Because I’m old.) This morning when I woke up I smiled because today is Yoga Day! Thanks to a great teacher, a wonderful friend, lots of nice people, and plenty of sweaty poses, this has become my favorite workout of the week. I always leave feeling mellow as yellow and loose as …
This is a real thing – it’s a game (well, more of a dare, really) from Jelly Belly called Beanboozled where you basically play Russian Roulette with sugar. Of course we bought it. My boys thought it was the most hilarious thing ever. It all started with a bag of Sweetart jelly beans and …

This is how I knew it was official, even our National Monuments are on trend! … the backside of Mount Rushmore. It’s only March but so far this year I’ve learned some really important things about the human backside. And that’s because – did you hear? – 2014 is officially “The Year of the …
Luna grooms Son #1 the most. I think it’s the mop of curly hair. He clearly needs more work. I’m pretty sure my cat thinks I’m a bad mom, or at least a negligent one. Every night before I go to bed I check on my four kiddos to make sure they’re actually asleep and …
