THE SLACKER MOM’S GUIDE TO HOMEMADE PHOTO CARDS FOR VALENTINE’S DAY | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. I’m not really a “handmade card” kind of mom. I think it’s lovely that other moms are, but at this stage in our family there is usually just not enough time in the day for me to indulge in my creative side . . . beyond staring at the things other people are doing on Pinterest. With Valentine’s Day approaching, though, I did decide to make some homemade cards, inspired in part by cards like this one. But, if I’m to be . . .
INTERVIEW WITH TAYE DIGGS ABOUT HIS NEW BOOK “CHOCOLATE ME” | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. Last week, I was asked to take part in a phone interview with Taye Diggs about his new children’s book called Chocolate Me. Yes . . . that Taye Diggs. I responded (perhaps too quicky?) and let his people know that I was a fangirl and a Renthead, and that I was really, really, super-duper dorky excited, and despite me acting like an adolescent girl about it, they still let me interview him. Let me explain my feelings . . .
IS IT OKAY TO SKIP OUT ON SENDING THANK-YOU CARDS ON BEHALF OF SMALL CHILDREN? | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. I have an etiquette question, and I want you guys to be honest. You are going to pretend you are Emily Post and tell me what to do. Only, you’re going to be slightly less snooty, because we’re all living in the real world here. The deal is . . . my kid’s birthday party was nearly four months ago and I’ve yet to send out thank-you cards. We had a pretty big party, and there are two of them, and they got a rather large . . .
WAYS I DIDN’T SUCK IN 2011 (HOW ABOUT YOU?) | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. Yesterday I wrote a little yearly recap on 2011, and I almost didn’t publish it because I was so frustrated with myself at seeing my resolutions from the beginning of the year. Then I began mulling over the post I would write where I would scold, prod, and shame myself into change . . . really put those shortcomings out there so I would HAVE to get my act together. Publicly sharing goals is vulnerable for me. Publicly . . .
YEARLY RECAP FOR 2011 | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM JANUARY 2012. I read this yearly recap on All & Sundry’s blog, and thought I would do it myself as I reflect on the new year. 1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? I ate only raw foods for two weeks. And I actually liked it. 2. Did you keep your new year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Oh boy. Here’s what I wrote last year: Separating work time from family time – I mentioned this in another . . .
ON HATING NEW YEAR’S EVE | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2011. I hate New Year’s Eve. And love it . . . sort of. But mostly I hate it. It’s my birthday, which is actually part of the reason I hate it. New Year’s Eve is one of the worst days to have a birthday. First of all, typically half of my friends are still out of town visiting family for the holidays. Sure, I never had to go to school on my birthday. That was a bonus. But I also grew up having poorly-attended birthday parties . . .

ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM DECEMBER 2011. For the sixth year in a row, Neil Kramer of Citizen of the Month is hosting an annual online concert featuring bloggers performing their favorite holiday standards. Neil’s intention in the concert was to bring the blogging community together, regardless of race or religion, for some holiday fun.Last year was my first time to participate, and I used a slideshow to tell the story of waiting for Kembe to come home for three . . .
LET’S TALK HOLIDAY MUSIC | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. We put up our Christmas tree yesterday, and officially broke out the Christmas music. I have a love/hate relationship with Christmas music. It makes me feel all warm and glow-y for about a week, and then I grow totally sick of it and don’t want to hear it again for another year. I think a part of this is the fact that, really, it’s pretty much the same 25-30 songs being recycled into different versions and genres every . . .
OCCUPY CHRISTMAS | ON THURSDAY’S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011.
ON THURSDAY'S I POST FROM THE VAULT. THIS POST IS FROM NOVEMBER 2011. Well, folks, here I am again. At your service, poised and ready to take the fun out of another holiday! (Just kidding. Mostly.) Although, I AM planning on completely sitting out this Thanksgiving. My kids whine and complain ever year about the traditional Thanksgiving fare. I’m not really excited about cooking all day just to hear them complain about the food. You know what I hate? Whining. You know what else I . . .
