The Original Drama Mama

Ooooh, be still my lil’ book loving heart. The girls over at Book Binge are serving up a sweet give away that would make my spring lovely indeed: a Nook (e-book reading device for those of you who reside under a rock) from Barnes & Noble! Speaking of spring, check out the gorgeous colors these [...]

(and hopefully get lucky) (in the prize dept) (and hell, in other depts too – we are talking romance after all!) The Smart Bitches and the Dear Author girlz are at it again with a sweet little contest to help spread the word about the awesomeness of contemporary romance in general and author Julie James’ [...]

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!

Miss A’s Christmas Wishlist is long and just keeps getting longer. No, there is no freakin’ way she will be getting everything on her list, not now at Christmas, nor at her birthday, nor maybe ever. Aside from the fact that we’d have no money left for college (or next month’s electric bill), some stuff [...]

This has been a good year for meeting people who inspire me.  As you may recall, I got to meet my favorite author, Diana Gabaldon. Then at a 7Nations concert (pretty much the only band I enjoy seeing live) the lead singer and bass player signed my CD. ETA: I just wanted to add, that [...]

Let’s just take a look at this for a moment, shall we? I really don’t need to say anything more. This gem, along with 9 other Twilighterrific products, is from a post my darling husband sent to me. The man loves to tease me since I read all the Twilight books this past October (and [...]

One of the wonderful things about homeschooling is that it gives me an excuse to make all the fun little crafty things I used to love creating when I was a kid. From cotton ball Santa Beards to handprint turkeys, I really enjoy making holiday craft projects with Miss A (and Lil’ G is starting [...]
