New at Target…Skeggings?!?!

New at Target…Skeggings?!?!

    Earlier this week a FB friend posted this photo on her wall.  I had to look twice.  “Skeggings”? What the heck?  Sounded a bit skanky.  (Yes, that was the first word that came my mind…probably not what the Target marketing team had in mind.)    But then I thought again about it…a skirt with

Girls Night Out Bridesmaid Dress Ball

  Some of you already saw this photo on Instagram or my FB page over the weekend.  A quick explanation for the rest of you… Well, I have to go to the Heart Ball next month and it’s a black tie event.  My first formal event in years.  But no, I do not plan to wear

Yo Gabba Gabba Live! Review

Yo Gabba Gabba Live! Review

      So I’m sure some of you thought I was out of my mind when I shared I was going to the Yo Gabba Gabba Live! show.  In all honesty, I was a bit unsure about it myself.  But I knew the kids would enjoy it because we watch the show from time-to-time

Top 10 Things I’m Realizing Staying Home

Top 10 Things I’m Realizing Staying Home

    After only three full days (and considering I was already used to one day home each week, we should probably say TWO whole days) I’ve come to the realization of the following as far as being a stay-at-home-mom:   1. I’m ALWAYS in the car.  Always.  Thank goodness I love my minivan.   2.

Do You Drive a Minivan?

Do You Drive a Minivan?

It’s honestly hard to think of a time before my minivan. And if you’d told me three years ago that I’d own a minivan, I would have LAUGHED. in. your. face.  It was one of my goals in life.  To NEVER own a minivan.  Like ever (yes, too much Taylor Swift lately). But, when one has

Summer Camps…already??

I’m not officially a SAHM yet (gotta make it through Friday!), but I’m already thinking about Summer Camps.  Yep, I said SUMMER.   Whether you are a working parent, a working parent with the summer off, or a SAHM, you know that summer will be here before we know it and kids need to be

Are You Snow Ready?

Are You Snow Ready?

  We may or may not get snow this week.  I’ve heard rain, freezing rain, slight snow, a foot of snow.  Hmmm….   What I do know is that the tiny dusting that basically looked like I sprinkled a bit of powdered sugar on the lawn had the kids going CRAZY.  The snow NEVER came

Dear Santa…Bring Wine

Dear Santa…Bring Wine

    I thought I knew what I wanted for Christmas.  Other than your typical health and happiness.  But something’s happened this week and I have to quickly update my Santa requests.    Dear Santa,   It’s me…Tricia.  Um…sorry it’s last minute, but I need to adjust my wish list for Christmas.  I really hope I’m on

Here’s What I Told My Kindergartener about CT

Here’s What I Told My Kindergartener about CT

  Friday was my day off last week.  I was home with my kids.  And they drove me crazy.  We rushed to swim lessons.  Charlotte threw a fit about her new swim instructor.    There were tears.    Afterwards, I got all four of us dressed and there was a snack issue with Stella.
