No new post today, Lovely Babies. I'm hard at work on a surprise for you, which will hopefully be done later today/early tomorrow. -Muaw!

My Husband Wants What Up His Ass?!?!

2010-10-11T01:22:00.000-07:00

My husband has his ass on lockdown like it’s Fort Knox. Without judgement to anyone else, his ass is strictly exit only. This is why I think it’s absolutely HILARIOUS to goose him every chance I get. He jumps and screams like a puppy who’s had his tail stepped on and it never ceases to crack me the fuck up. Until today. He got smart. I was starting the roast for supper and he came into the

Hudson is Two: How to Get a Bun Out of the Oven, Saturday Recipe

2010-10-09T01:45:00.000-07:00

I know I usually do a Saturday recipe post, but today is Hudson’s second birthday. So, I’m telling you the story of the bun finally being baked in my oven… that doesn’t sound the way I meant it to, but whatever: I was all set to have a home birth. The midwives had brought over the big birthing pack and we’d sorted out the birthing plan and we had the friends come pick up the boy and I was in

I'm Not Ready to Be Enlightened: Friday Feature

2010-10-08T00:12:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, I told you I was going to start featuring some women whose blogs I've grown to love, in the interest of taking off one day a week while spreading the recognition love around. Today's guest post is an awesome account of a quirky mother-in-law by Kristy from theprimamomma.com. It's the first post of hers I'd ever read and it cracked me up until it was love at first site (see, that was

You Can Have Everything and Do Everything a Man Can: Part Two of the Bullshit Feminist Propaganda Series

2010-10-07T00:23:00.000-07:00

I am really, really pissed off that I was lied to by an entire generation of bra-burning delusional hippies when I was growing up. I am pissed off that I was raised to not only believe, but expect that I could have it all, do anything I wanted and be completely equal to men in every way. It’s not true. What’s more is that it’s okay that it’s not true, but it’s not okay to continue to spread this

My Son, the American Gigilo

2010-10-06T02:11:00.000-07:00

My son is six. He has evidently become quite the pimp on the playground since coming back from summer break with a full shaved-in mohawk; a fact which became painfully obvious when he came home complaining that the thing he didn’t like about his hair cut was that all the girls wanted to chase him around the playground to mess with it. He was really confused when I told him that it meant they

Public Statement About My Book Deal

2010-10-05T00:18:00.000-07:00

I’m starting to think that I wouldn’t know what to do with a book deal if it came up and sat on my face, except maybe feel obligated to make it some breakfast in the morning (bu-dump-bump). Seriously, we’ve all heard the delusional dream that if you write enough for a long enough period of time, you too would be the Cinderella story. The more I write every day (that was the whole point of this

Rotten Vag: When It's Past the Expiration Date

2010-10-04T01:18:00.000-07:00

In my almost-thirty-mother-of-two-hood, I have realized that I don’t have to walk around half-naked anymore. In fact, if I did, it would be down-right fuckin’ tacky, inappropriate… dare I say, whoreish. So, I don’t. I wear clothes—clothes that cover my midriff, my ass crack, my upper-thigh-basically-pussy area and usually my cleavage, but that’s mostly because I don’t have huge titties. If I had

Gift Certificate Giveaway

2010-10-03T12:24:00.000-07:00

MOR Marshmallow Lip Balm Giveaway Winner

2010-10-03T04:57:00.000-07:00

Randomizer.org chose winning comment number 30, which was: "Kellie said... About my daughter, a moment that I will remember and cherish for the rest of my days happened when she was 2. Her cousin, that is the same age, told her that he was going to kiss her. She said no. He said he was going to kiss her anyways and leaned in for the kiss. Before he could plant one on her she popped him in the

Awesome, Tasty Saturday Recipe: Butternut Squash Soup

2010-10-02T01:22:00.000-07:00

I made a butternut squash soup last week which was so yummy that the kids abandoned their spoons and started drinking it, and so simple I couldn’t believe it. I’ll admit, it looks like baby food, but it tastes like heaven. It’s just kind of a chuck-it-in-to-taste recipe, so you’ll have to work it out for yourself a little, but I’ll give you the guidelines for what I did: Ingredients: 2 butternut

This Bitch is No Friend of Mine

2010-10-01T00:23:00.000-07:00

Today is all about the love. Today begins the occasional feature post where I republish something written by another blogger who I enjoy. Everyone needs a day off, including me, and everyone deserves a little recognition, including the women I plan to feature on these spots. To start the love-fest, I bring to you Dani Lamb. Dani is sugar and feist and everything nice; mouthy and moxy and bouncing

What Men Are More Scared of Than "Strong Women"

2010-09-30T00:10:00.000-07:00

I’m going on a crusade, it might be the beginning of a weekly series of posts. Somehow I doubt it though, since I have the attention span of a fruit fly, combined with the love of shiny things akin to the lovechild of a magpie and chimpanzee and I get distracted easily. Wait, what was I saying? Hey, look over there! Oh yes, the crusade. I am on a rampage against feminism gone wrong; feminist

The First Step Is Admitting You Want A Different Drink

2010-09-29T00:15:00.000-07:00

I asked my Lovely Babies on Facebook for some input on their favorite drinks because I was bored with my usual pink wine (white zin). I feel like I should warn you that I worked in bars for years, there are very few drinks I’ve not tried. I don’t need to be deflowered, just reminded of something I may have forgotten in my years of monogamous wino-hood. Anyway, it didn’t really work because I

Grey's Anatomy Turned My Son into an X-Man

2010-09-28T00:11:00.000-07:00

I’ve been watching seasons one through six of Grey’s Anatomy with the husband to get him caught up, he loves it. Damn those scalpel wielding motherfuckers. It has to be said that once a week, Grey’s Anatomy is a nice dose of (kind of femmie) drama which touches in a pseudo-poignant way that is right in my sweet spot. However, three episodes a night for several months is enough to be down right

The Highlight of My Weekend Was...

2010-09-27T01:29:00.000-07:00

Hey, Lovely Babies... just a quick note to say yippee! I have a driving lesson this morning which will have me gone for a portion of the morning. So, I pass the mic to you. Leave me a comment to tell me what the best part of your weekend was. I promise it will help with your nasty case of the Mondays if you relive the highlight of your weekend, if only for a minute. And reading everyone else's

MOR Marshmallow Lip Balm Giveaway

2010-09-26T09:34:00.000-07:00

I have a really unhealthy obsession with lip products; balms, glosses, color… I just love a good tub or tube of lip product. What’s the problem with this? I can never find the PERFECT one, and so I always have about five in any bag I’m carrying. Lip balms are either too stiff and waxy or glosses are too sticky and not moisturizing enough, or colors don’t moiturize and taste awful. It’s pretty

Roasted Stuffed Red Peppers w/Cous Cous: Saturday Recipe

2010-09-25T01:13:00.000-07:00

I got this one from my vegetarian group. Novak and I love it, though he sometimes complains there's no meat and it's like an appetizer for him as a huge meat eater :). Full disclosure: Makaio could live without it and tends to eat a sandwich when I make it. I could eat a whole pan of it, LOVE IT... so I figured I'd share it with you. Sometimes we just have to do a little somethin' for ourselves.

Ten Things that Made Me Drop the F-Bomb Today

2010-09-24T02:47:00.000-07:00

*by Today, I mean the last 24 hours* 1. Redesigning never goes as smoothly as you imagine in your head, in any situation. Redesigning your home, redesigning your wardrobe, redesigning the size of your ass (just buy bigger jeans, it’s easier). Redesigning a website/facebook/twitter is no exception. Getting all three things suited up with new images almost had me pulling my hair out. Fuck, fuck,
