Friday was such a beautiful day that we decided to take a trip to Chudleigh's for some apple picking fun. Apparently everyone else had the same idea - it was absolutely packed! The line-ups were so long that we decided to forgo the apple picking and just hang out with all the animals and have fun in … [Read more...]
From My Closet – October 11th, 2013
I'm basically in accessories mode, a) because it's autumn, and it's time to break out all the cool stylin' tricks, and 2) because my anniversary was a month ago, and you know what Martin and I gave each other? BRICKS. (Totally romantic, yo - a timeless classic, one might even say.) Growing kids have … [Read more...]
How to Deep Fry a Turkey
The Parkers have had some dangerous Thanksgivings over the last few years. No, we don’t play football, go skydiving, or drink too much moonshine and talk about our “real” feelings around the table. Nope… we deep fry our turkey. I will admit there is nothing better than the smell of a turkey in … [Read more...]
International Day of the Girl Child: October 11, 2013
Due to a lot of confusion and bad information, I feel like I spend 50% of my time online ranting about inequities and trying to explain that feminism is simply the belief that women are people and that all people are equal and deserving of autonomy and opportunity. That's it. It's not about cutting … [Read more...]
Braidy-Cat
My hair has about three style settings: loose waves, straight-ironed, or slicked back in a top knot bun. Pretty basic. I have combed through pages of Hair Inspiration on Pinterest but can never seem to find neither the time nor dedicated interest to sit down and try a new style as I am rushing … [Read more...]
Feeling Blue and Exhausted
LJ is digging our mild October weather and I must say thank God for this weather because if it were grey and dreary I think I would be ready to just crawl under the covers. No matter what anyone out there tells you being a new mom the second time around is just as difficult and exhausting as it was … [Read more...]
Dots
(Sara - you probably won't want to read this.) Ok so I don't like autumn, but I do like what it leads to. If you don't already know, I am A BIG fan of the holidays. Thanksgiving leads into Halloween, which leads into November which leads to the Santa Claus parade. The day after the Santa Claus … [Read more...]
Best Hair Hacks That Actually Work
Not that long ago I opened up and admitted that I regularly sport a look called "second-day hair", which essentially means that I only lather up and shampoo on alternate days. The days I don't wash it, I rock an assortment of different updos. But since I've only been sporting the long locks recently … [Read more...]
PMS: Pre-Menstrual (p)SYCHO
I can tell it's here when my eyes prick with tears while listening to some dumb song on the radio. Or how when my husband gets a bad case of the hiccups and instead of laughing I want to punch him in the neck. Or when my kids are fighting and in 0.3 seconds my blood begins to boil and I yell louder … [Read more...]
Have Gluten or Food Sensitivities? This Technology Could Help!
There is no doubt that gluten and other food sensitivities, especially amongst children, are on the rise. We are all in-tuned to the food sensitivities even on a daily basis like at birthday parties. I've noticed in the past couple years that not-only do we have peanut-related allergies to … [Read more...]
