I’ll remember the day that the first “minute clinic” opened near my house as one of the happiest of my life. When you have young kids, trips to the doctor are inevitable and frequent. And while we had a pediatrician I adored, sometimes if it looks like pinkeye, itches like pinkeye, and infects playgroups on …
A couple weeks ago, Jelly Bean and I got to do a little shopping and photoshoot with Athleta as part of their #ShareYourOm month! All photobombs courtesy of my cat, Luna. Seriously cats must think we are SO WEIRD. This week is going to be AWESOME here at the GFE! I’ve got 5 amazing giveaways …

I’m concerned about your health!” Despite what shows like The Biggest Loser and shrieking harpies like Meme Roth contend, shaming people – no matter how politely or well-intended you …
My Y Girls: See, it’s not weird if everyone’s doing it!! I love you guys! Zumba: The official sponsor of ducklips. And you know that I say that with love. After all, just check out my FB photos for evidence that I too have suffered from the dreaded Ducklip Disease. But ducklips are now a regular …
My in-laws are coming today to visit for five days. I have a cold. (Or wicked allergies. Still not sure.) My toilet keeps overflowing. The dishwasher literally fell out of its cabinet. Our only “spare” room is super hospitable with 2x4s and concrete. I dropped my cellphone in the toilet. After Jelly Bean peed in …
This is exactly how I do it. Gives a whole new meaning to “these biscuits go straight to my tummy!” “You might be a bad mother if…” This weeks answer: Your kid always knows which items are yours at the bake sale due to the bright orange Sale! sticker on the package. Similar to redneck …
