You mommies have it so much better than I did. Seriously. When mine were young we were barely into the disposable diaper era. Forget cold medicine. Even the good stuff tasted like hard liquor and battery acid and ended up staining their Garanimals. Mine are teens now and they still have that need to be taken care of when they have a cold. We still keep good old Triaminic around so they

Who is ready for The Closer with Kyra Sedgwick to return? 5 new episodes begin Monday January 26 and cliffhangers will be....No spoilers here, but I had a chance to preview the first two episodes and I'll just say...SQUEEEEEE!Kyra Sedgwick, Golden Globe winner plays LAPD Deputy Police Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson.

I'm adjusting my bedtime on Monday nights. I had the opportunity to preview the TNT original series Trust Me starring Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanagh which premiers Monday, January 26 10/9c. The show is a "Mad Men meets 13 Going on 30" look at the advertising world and the personal/professional relationships of this ensemble cast.

Since I posted on Short Pump Preppy about the Free Bottle of Suave Bailout on January 14 {puffy hope you got in on the coupon}, Suave began stalking me. In a good way. They are very economically suavvy [lol] and offered me a stimulus package. I know!    Since I may not get one from the government I was super psyched about this one. They sent me their super affordable products and some high

I'm a bit of a gamer MOM. Sometimes my kids share, sometimes they don't. When I mentioned the upcoming release of Nintendo DS Big Bang Mini game on January 20, I could tell we might have a fight on our hands. I don't share well.

I'm keeping you up to date on all my organizational successes. I've found another online calendar, message center, and photo gallery. Check out Qlubb. They have a cool blurb widget so I can say..."call your mother" or "be home an hour ago" and the kids know they are in trouble. OK so that's the first thing I did....just for fun.This is an awesome idea, especially in my case with my college age

It's really not a resolution so much as it's a do or die decision. I am going to be more organized. So in my quest for a day planner, I came across the momAgenda. I know, you all have heard of it before. They are cute and colorful and look like they are for MOMS. Let me tell you what they really are. This is well made, tightly bound (so your list won't fall out if you slip it in there),

Today I love Cream of Wheat. I wouldn't try it as a child. Probably because of the name. Who wanted wheat anything back then? It was white bread all the way. But now I have restless leg syndrome, or RLS. I find a direct link between the amount of iron I consume and the pain in my legs. So I tried CoW. Within a week, better. Now for flareups, I eat CoW and take my RLS medicine and the

I'd been wondering what to do to for an Outlook replacement since I reformatted my hard drive and no longer have my old version of Office and Outlook.
