Ugli-er Dolls

Airline nostalgia is in the bag
I can only imagine that flying with the fam used to be a whole lot better than it is today. You could push a stroller right through that metal detector, bring all the juice from home that you desired, and once on board, the kids got to visit the cockpit, eat some bad...

Once upon a time I bought a whole bunch of scrapbooking stuff. Because I was going to scrapbook, darn it. I was. I would find my hidden crafty gene and make memories in book form to cherish for a lifetime! Yeah! Um, I still have all of those supplies. Unopened. I...
Tyin’ Up My White Tie, Brushin’ Off My Tails.
I admit that I was the type who kinda liked the guy who might have worn the tuxedo t-shirt to the prom. That is, before Screech did it on Saved By the Bell, or whatever TV nerd turned it from semi-rebellious to positively dorky.So it's not surprising that I laughed...

A Traveling Parent’s New Very Best Friend in the World: JetSetBabies
Packing for vacation used to be a labor of love, laying out the outfits and the shoes as I anticipated all the fun ahead. But now that I'm a parent and the airlines limit me to 50 pounds of baggage to boot, packing can be a nightmare. JetSetBabies is my new...
