The "Momover"

I am making fun of myself today. And hosting a Smashbox Cosmetics Giveaway. Because makeup makes me feel dirty. Seriously. You should check it out.

People?  BlogHer11 is is only a month away. This.  Is very serious.  In case you missed my first Sexy Blogger post, I will summarize for you. I am terrified.  A hotel filled with two thousand bloggers who are bigger and stronger than I?  Who all know each other already? Yeah. But, putting fear aside,...

No, not my boobies, although they’d hardly qualify as much more than that. I’m talking about my feet. I’ve got the kind of feet that make a full wet footprint on the ground- looks like somebody walked by wearing a set of flippers. When I was a kid I used to have fun clapping...

A friend of mine has coined a term (who the hell coined the term “coined”? Weird.) that refers to a tummy that sticks out further than the boobs that perch twelve inches above it.  Or, in my case, six inches.  Because yes, I am that short. Her term?  The Booby-Do. Let me state that...

I used to be a sweetsaholic. I craved rich, chocolaty, don’t-insult me-with-your-flan kind of sweets. Then I had to cut that out. The sweets started keeping me up at night. And just making me feel gross.  So I just replaced the sugar with salt. ———- When I was pregnant I found many foods to...

My ongoing Momover often requires me to purge.  Not the enchiladas I ate for dinner.  Purge my stuff.  The things that are cluttering my closet and bathroom, and thus, my spirit.  So I purge and purge and yet, I still have at least twelve different toiletries and facial products that I NEED.  That I...

I’m over at the Blogger Body Calendar today, talking about ugliness, prettiness, and things in between.  Check it out, and you can see a really cute picture of my son.  And I’m not looking too shabby, either.

My old Target sweatpants are really comfortable.  But I also want to look good, and the Momover means I don’t have to embarrass my family when we go to the grocery store.  So I am making it a point to wear something other than pajamas- it’s the New Casual.  Here are come pieces I...

I really have something I need to get off my chest (as if I don’t do that here already). Lately, I have been getting numerous “comments” to my posts that are, well, more like messages of a personal agenda to save me.  Comments from readers that they are worried about me and will be...

I am thrilled to announce that Elly Lou of Buggin Word will be the recipient of her very own copy of Operation Beautiful .  Elly was selected via Random.Org, but her winning disproves the theory of randomness.  Her charm, wit, and incredible ability to tell a story like no other are just a few...

It’s no secret that after my son was born I struggled with getting myself back to what I considered normal.  The “Momover” has been going on for over two years, and while I have made some progress (slightly flatter stomach, better posture, decent jeans) there are still days when I long for the physical...

Wear it, by God, WEAR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! After trying on $2200+ worth of gold shoes, I may have found a pair.  They’re no Stuart Weitzman (can you believe I have not received a response from him?), but I think they’ll do, and with a couple of foot petals, I should be back pain-free for my...

Despite my quest for the perfect pair of jeans, the weather is finally warming up, and I have been feeling a little constricted in my denim (or is it the little tire I grew around my waist OVERNIGHT).  The temperature here is only reaching the seventies now, but the heat will be here in...

For those of you who voted in the hair poll in my totally narcissistic post about my hair, I am finally posting the results.  I appreciate all of your opinions more than you can know.  Despite the majority ruling of “No bangs- keep growing them out” I can’t stand it any longer.  I am...
