I’m sure that roughly 94 percent of you have seen the- ahem- “Things” That “People” Say memes ad nauseum (a la White People, Girls, New Yorkers, Farm Animals, etc.. etc., etc.). For the uninitiated, it’s basically a collection of generally amusing and stereotypical catchphrases perpetuated by a really, really specific group of people- all for the purpose of having that select group chuckle at their own foibles (“Oh, ho- that’s me, all right!) So far, I’ve identified with two. And, {Read More}

Do the Wonder Pets have a Twitter account? I have finally- finally- figured out what to do with the darned playroom. I realize that this is of little consequence to anyone not spending nearly ten hours a day in, on, or around this room (a narrow li’l group, to be sure)…but for those of us who are, well, it’s just fantastic news.

We all know the story of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs. But how about the story of Snow White as told by Professor T.J. Barker’s Troupe Of Theatricals? Pre-show craft before every show!

Someone else who liked her toys a LOT… Do you ever have the kind of night where you’re dying to make a pan of brownies, eat more than your fair share, and just kinda need everyone to be okay with that? Only- you go to find the mix only to find no mix, and you wonder just what kinda jerk would banish all junk food from the house after New Year’s…only to remember that it was, in fact, you? So you {Read More}

Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of theClever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.discoverbeautywithin.com/ I kept it simple for 2012. “Consume more water,” I said to myself. “Drink some drinking water,” as Nora calls it. And while this resolution may be easily crossed off of a daily list, perhaps I need to reach a little higher in terms of beauty and wellness goals. (I mean, you all remember my failed {Read More}
