The Original Drama Mama

Fellow blogging Mama, The Provident Woman, is hosting a giveaway on her site for a sweet set of knives.
Go check it out…but if you win I am not liable for any injuries!

So said the late great Bernie Mac. Upon hearing those words, my husband decided that particular phrase must get marked down in his parental lexicon to be referenced for later use. Also included are Red Foreman’s ( That 70’s Show) variations on calling people a dumbass, and the one he currently employs regularly to the [...]

Tomorrow I’m joining a group of friends to start a 12 week Biggest Loser contest…we did one the fall of 2008 and I won! It was a great way to get rid of all the weight I put on with Lil’ G. The problem is, I’m still carrying some extra pounds I gained when pregnant [...]

Yes, 2010 is here, and I have finally crossed over…given in…taken the plunge…I have joined the Dark Side FaceBook.
