Today's blog post was provided by Kristy from Pampers and Pinot. She is one funny gal. I had some swimsuit anxiety myself a few summers ago, which resulted in buying a ridiculously overpriced swimsuit from Victoria's Secret. I figured that if there was anyone who could make me look good in a swimsuit, they could. Nope, just a big rip off! Damn you, Victoria's Secret. I am Kristy from Pampers and Pinot. I am Mama to Parker, who just turned two years old. Me and Parker, we’re like peas and carrots. If you know me already, you have also read that Parker has other names as well, like my bub, maniac, and angel boy. Well, I think that is really all the intro you need! I chose to share with you one of my earlier posts that deals with the gifts our children give us (20 extra pounds) and reminds us of the more important things in life. . . I’m Too Sexy for my Black Lycra Gown For crying out loud, people, why can’t it be normal to wear gowns as a

Go away! Shoo! This is our dinner! Not Pica's dinner! Not Biscuit's dinner! OUR DINNER! Move it, punks! One day, after Sexy Nerd & I have tripped over one of the dogs and fallen down the stairs to our deaths, people will look back at this post. They'll see the way the dogs have us surrounded; the way Biscuit is silently lurking behind Sexy Nerd, anxiously waiting for him to take an unsteady step backward, to his doom. Avenge us.

Unlike other women, who all seem to have glowing, perfect, silky smooth skin, my skin HATES me. It doesn't matter that I spend an absurd amount of money on fancy schmancy creams - apparently, they only work on those other, radiant skin people, who I assume are the ones writing all those bogus cream reviews that make me throw away my money. Luckily, I have found a cheap, easy (and surprisingly tasty!) solution, courtesy of the brilliant "Sarah Woo". All you have to do to make her recommended facial mask is mix 1 Tbsp honey , 1 tsp cinnamon , 1 tsp nutmeg , and 1/2 a tsp of lemon juice . The longer you leave it on, the better. I try to aim for at least 30 minutes each time. No need to exfoliate first, as the nutmeg in the mask even takes care of that for you. I am completely in love with this and have been using it once a week for the past few months. Pica, on the other hand, isn't a fan. No pity here! Who else agrees that Pica deserves to be a little fr

A special thank you to Shinxy at Vacuous Ramblings for providing a guest post today. I love the drawings she does for each of her posts. The drawing below is titled No Shoes . Without further ado, here is the one and only Shinxy: Yes people, this is as exciting as my life gets. I got to spend eight or nine hours in the car to see my psychiatrist. We got into Melbourne an hour and a half early, so we went shopping. Sadly I couldn't spend much money because I've spent about half my pay this cycle on a certain jobless hobo of mine. I went to Borders first. I finally found the Philosophy section.  It was looking pretty grim until I looked at the bottom shelf. Three Schopenhauer books! I was in pessimistic heaven. I found four books in total that I felt that I needed, but like I said, I had a budget. I decided on one Schopenhauer book and another on common logical fallacies (I love logic, but if I get too far in I get a little confused with all the Latin terms, so bas
