I still love you ALL. I really do. I miss my little bundle of faithful readers and I hope that I haven’t completely lost you all in the course of the last month. Following my post about my grandmother’s bout with Alzheimer’s Disease, I got news that my dad’s dad was not doing so well….
What’s Wrong With Being Girly?
I am so, completely over hearing about parents who are up in arms about dressing their baby girls up in pink ruffles and frills. These are the same people who assert that gender “stereotyping” is out of control in the media and scream for gender “equality”. They think that our girls should wear clothing with…
Who Did You Think Your Kids Would Be?
I’m watching NCAA football today and looking at all of these athletic boys out on the fields, making or breaking plays. Their mamas are in the stands cheering them on and I wonder if they were raised to be these strong football players. Did their daddies take them outside and throw footballs to them from…
It Took Me Getting Fat to Find My Swagger
Swagger: (Verb) Walk or behave in a very confident and typically arrogant or aggressive way.OK so I’m not arrogant in the slightest. As a matter of fact, I want to slap arrogant people with a can of Gak when I am in close proximity to them, but I have become more confident since…
A Conundrum
So if you’ve been reading me since I first started blogging (when I was Rebel Crunch Mama), you know about how a couple friends decided that I was unbearable to be around because I’m *GASP* opinionated. I’ve been lucky enough to not really run into them while out and about in Savannah (other than a…
Fit Friday Confession: I’m Still Fat
So since I posted my fat confession, I have lost 10 lbs. And then gained them back. Plus one. I’m terribly unhappy with my body and yesterday, I was thisclose to switching Grady to formula so that I could start on a strict anti-carb diet and work out regimen. Kyle was soooooooooo pissed when I told…
Sunday Confessional – I’m Ungrateful
Today is Father’s Day. I made a special brunch for my dad, grandfather, uncle, cousin, and some other family members. Kyle has to work today but thankfully he is closing so we got to spend the morning with him. He woke up early with me and helped me prepare the coffee for brunch, he cut…
My Fragile Psyche
So as uncomfortable as I am looking at myself in the mirror, I have never been happier or more comfortable with myself in my life. I don’t know if it is because I am getting older (30 in 2 months), or if it’s because my hunky husband somehow still wants to have everything to do…
Confession: I’m Fat.
I’ve never been happy with the way that my body looks and I know for a fact that my friends, from Middle School to current, can attest to the fact that I put myself down way too much. Now that I look at pictures of myself from pre-Madilyn, I am disgusted that I ever thought…
My Mother’s Day Presents
Mother’s Day doesn’t look the same for all of us. As a Stay at Home Mom, I am with my kids all day, every day. My ideal Mother’s Day would be me, alone, sitting in a comfortable chair on a beach somewhere with a good book in my hand and a jug of water with…
