I. am. tired. It has been a very long, very tiring, very exhausting day. We have some big news coming that I won’t share now, but be excited. :) As I was cleaning up the kitchen I realized that it’s Monday and I only have an hour and a bit to post this week’s fabulous shares, so here we go! #1 – How to Not Dress Like a Mom (image found at: http://s7.sears.com/is/image/Sears/054T0139000?wid=150&hei=150&op_sharpen=1) We’ve all seen them– the “Mommy Clothes”. Mommy jeans, mommy shirts, mommy sandals… there’s a whole line. Above you see an example of a typical “mommy sandal” worn by women who need a little more Stacey and…

I wasn’t sure if I was going to write this post this week. The past couple of weeks I’ve noticed a dwindling response to my Shop Girl Shares posts (traffic, comments, etc) and the last thing I want to do is bore you! So I put up my poll to see how you felt and the majority of you still like this thing so I’ll keep doing it for now! :) I am going to tweak it just a little though–I’ve noticed that you (in general) seem to like it best when I post about blogs I’ve found and love so I’m going to highlight at least one every week,…

This weekend has been SO crazy I almost forgot that today was Monday! It was full of weddings (my oldest friend got married… it was a big, beautiful Italian wedding) and my sister gave birth to my first (not-so) little niece, Princess Pea. It was my first time holding a newborn (she was less than 12 hours old when I met her) and there really are no words to describe that experience. She’s just… perfect. But then again, aren’t all babies? ;) I spent today catching up on the sleep I didn’t get this weekend (I got maaaaaybe 3 hours on Saturday night) and had the laziest day ever. It…

Before I can begin writing this post (which I wasn’t even sure would happen as I am SO TIRED–reducing my thunderous thighs at the gym kills me. haha) I need to tell you all how grateful I am for your continuing words and expressions of support regarding my horrendous job interview experience. I was overwhelmed by the comments I received here, as well as on Facebook and on Twitter (add me!!). Thank you. I keep hearing that I should write a letter to the company and I’m thinking about it. We’ll see. ;) Anyhoo, it’s Monday, which means I get to share two more fabulous sites with you! HOO HAH!…

Holy mother of pearl. This past week has been INSANE, hence my absence from le blog. I’m so sorry for abandoning you, but I have been having major issues with my laptop and finally reformatted over the weekend (oh joy) and the Hubs and I have had a busy 3 days! We spent Saturday at the gym and at Too Kool’s house (it was his brother’s birthday dinner) and weren’t home until late. Yesterday we were at a BBQ, again, until late, and then tonight we headed back to Senior’s City to visit with a group of friends we hadn’t seen in some time and just walked in the door.…
