I’ve been hiding under a rock for the last week because I have HUGE, GIGANTIC news to share. Every time I sat down at my computer last week to write, this would come out: Holy shit, I’m in a book! Blog posts, facebook messages, tweets, work emails, notes to my kids’ teachers….the recipient was irrelevant. […]
The Anti-Resolutions Post
Enough already with all of the resolutions posts. We know, we know! Lose weight, be nicer, eat better, sleep more, blah blah blah. My own resolutions were so boring that I abandoned them halfway through to go and catch up on my twitter feed. Sure you can go ahead and view the start of the […]

The BLUNTmoms and I were recently chatting about what we wanted to give our readers (that’s YOU people), for Christmas. It […]
