Oh, the things we do on long road trips.
Besides ranting at traffic and inventing new crayon colors, We also come up with goofy memes. Like this one: Scents That Never Made It to the Grocery Aisle. Here are some of our favorites!

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.
