Something else to waste time on…

Published by Drama Mama under Cool Stuff, Time Wasters, Website

I really need to stay away from the internets…I keep finding new ways to devour time…time I should be spending working out, or dusting a ceiling fan.
Tonight, while I was looking for some tutorials on making pictorial montages, I came across this site. Oh my, it was like a toy store…so many things to play [...]

To Buy or Not to Buy

Published by Drama Mama under Kids, Products

This is of course, a question I ask myself often…as I tend to buy way too much of certain items (in fact, I’ve made a list of the top 10 products I purchase to the point of ridiculousness)…but I am rather let’s say frugal, and will often second guess a purchase I am about to [...]

The Bluest Eyes EVER

Published by Drama Mama under Kids

I may be a tad biased; being the mother of the incredible super awesomeness that is my offspring, but I think it’s pretty fair to say that Lil’ G has the most amazing, stop you in your tracks, blue eyes.
And for the record, while it’s agreed I may be biased on the sheer awesomeness of [...]

An Idea Made of Awesome that I must Steal (and so can you)

This morning while  Miss A was at her gymnastics class and Lil G’ was napping I decided to do some surfin’ on the internets.
A chase-a-link-athon brought me to a nice little site about organization.
Sifting through, I found an idea I know I have to try. She calls it “pizza box storage.” And that’s exactly what [...]

Wii Fit = The Poor Man’s Personal Trainer

Published by Drama Mama under Cool Stuff, Products, Working Out

“Poor Man’s?!?” You might be saying…but at around $89, Nintendo’s Wii Fit system costs less than one session with a living breathing personal trainer. (Assuming of course, you already own the Wii system).
I had added the Wii Fit to my wish list thinking, it might be cool to try and I am seriously in need [...]

Instant Friendship

Published by Drama Mama under Books, Celebrations, Kids, Life

I am always amazed at the speed in which my daughter can make a new friend. She is a naturally gregarious person and has a knack for remembering people’s names. And, let me just say, the girl is NOT shy. This really comes in handy when we go to the park on our own (as [...]

Some Parenting Don’ts

Published by Drama Mama under Family, Hallmark Moments, Kids, Life

Don’t leave your baby to play alone for a few minutes in their room while you prepare their bath.
Even if the room is “babyproof.”
Even if all breakables, small objects/choking hazards/ and possible toxins are out of reach.
Even if you are just  a few feet away in the adjoining bathroom.
Even if it’s just for the 30 [...]

Organized and Spiffy…aka: Keeping My Magazine Addiction Under Control…AAKA…Preventing the Possibility that Some Day I Will Be One of those Old People Whose House is Buried in Newspaper (or in my case, old issues of Shape, BH&G, and Family Circle…and Parenting, and Women’s Health, and Women’s Day, and Family Fun, and …”

I admit it, I’m a magazine junkie. Back in the day when my heart went pitter-pat for NKOTB (see #53)I would spend wads of babysitting money on TeenBeat, TuttiFrutti, Bop and other glossy homages to the teen idols I so adored. I would pull out the posters to adorn my walls, cut out special articles [...]

Organic Teething Biscuits Taste Like Dog Food

Published by Drama Mama under Kids, Life, Products

Just Ask Lil’ G, who tosses them with aplomb as if playing fetch with some imaginary canine. Or ask Lil’ G’s Dada…who, after observing this behavior a few times decided to investigate…and upon tasting said biscuit declared, “Ugh! These things taste like dog treats!” How he knows what dog treats taste like is something I [...]
