When I first saw this video, I thought it was a hoax. And honestly, I’m still a little wary. But then again, I’ve seen weirder phenomena! This is an ice circle in a river. It’s rotating! A massive 2000 ft spinning ice circle at Gaspe Bay, Canada. Mystery has surrounded these discs since they were […]

The Job Market
January 29, 2009
I’ve been diligently scouring the Internet classifieds (local and national) for employment. I’d still like to stay at home with my children, but the online market is so limited right now. A lot of us “older” moms are in the same boat: the kids are older, we need more income, but we haven’t been in […]

Well here’s an interesting site, Travel Feedback.com. It’s another one of those social network websites, where you can add and read feedback from users. This really looks kind of cool, and would make a great resource for the global traveler (or, even a domestic one, like me). I did a quick search on “pizza” in […]

I came across a neat website recently. Cool! Look what this talented person did with famous art- they Simpsonized it! rofl! See it at Famous Art, Simpsonized by Meowza Kats. As we all know, when Matt Groening developed the Simpsons, art critics everywhere hailed his new style as the pinnacle of humanity’s artistic achievement. So […]

Need some gift ideas for a baby shower, anniversary, birthday, or Valentine’s Day? I’ve got an idea for ya: Ceiva digital photo frames. They are really neat! They work differently than “conventional” digital photo frames. There’s no plugging the Ceiva into your computer- you plugit directly into the phone jack. The Ceiva itself works as […]
I Am Woman, Hear Me *Sigh*
January 28, 2009
Well hopefully no one noticed, but I just changed web hosts today, after spending more than a MONTH reading tutorials and about 24 hours of hair-tearing, sob-mopping agony. more animals In the end, it all went through seamlessly. Thanks to the Bluehost tech support. They have really good tech support. If you want to consider […]
Cute Gift Ideas!
January 27, 2009
Tired of the same old, pink onesies, blue baby booties, and bottle sets for those baby shower gifts? Yeah, me too. I like to be a tad more creative with my gift giving. That’s why I jumped when I saw this site for personalized baby gifts (and more). Oh my gosh, the things you can […]
Global Warming on Ice
January 27, 2009
I don’t know why they bother to discuss global warming during the winter. It ALWAYS means bad press. But darn it, it’s so funny! The Global Warming Yadda Yadda is supposed to chitter-chatter (emphasis on the chatter) their plans before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee tomorrow (Wednesday). (Talk about producing a lot of hot air). […]

Wow, widgets are really coming into their own, eh? I’m talking about widgets for blogs and websites. And widgets for girls… well… that goes without saying! I think there are more women bloggers than men, isn’t that so? That just may be that women have more prolonged access to home computers, maybe? But it seems […]


Life is never dull, and exciting things just seem to always happen to me... why me... when I'm not running around the house fixing things, I'm a freelance writer for national media outlets like USAToday.com, Salon.com, and others. I've even been interviewed by TIME and The Wall Street Journal about blogging. Can you believe it?! Here is where I express my zany, creative, motherly side.
