My office is in desperate need of a makeover. Although we pulled up the dingy, gray-blue carpet from most of our house when we moved in, the gross carpet is still in my office! Keeping it company is an old garden tub, glass shower doors, and other dusty reminders of our master bathroom remodel. The thing I hate most of all? My office window looks out onto a street corner where drivers ALWAYS run the stop sign, leaving me yelling at them in my pajamas when I really should be working! Solution? Take over the guest bedroom, which has no view whatsoever of that damn stop sign. Really, it has no view whatsoever of anything, but I'm okay with that. What does this mean? In addition to fancying up my ugly, ugly office, I get to redo the guest bedroom! I've been browsing around and have found a few fun products. Isn't online shopping fun? I love this sofa, which could be used instead of a bed at night and could be a comfy place to watch TV during the day (and it's only $249 wi

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
