Thoughts on Mommyality

by Lisa January 19, 2012

It’s been a long time since I’ve written on Mommyality. In fact, I was worried I didn’t have anything left to offer. Peanut is now 11 and with his growing older, it means times are changing. I’ll be an empty nester in a little over six years when he goes off to college. That’s a tough pill [...]

What’s Up With Mommyality?

by Lisa January 16, 2012

I’m a little over the old design. I’m ready for a change and it’s time for me to update. So, sorry, right now everything is plain and white, but over the next week, I’m going to be updating the site and making it gorgeous. I could have taken it off line or worked on the [...]

Update from the Mommyality Trenches

by Lisa December 11, 2011

Bet you didn’t think I was ever going to show up over here again, did you? Well, I haven’t meant to ignore Mommyality, however life has totally gotten in the way. And when I say life, I’m talking about every damn germ on the planet ever trying to invade my body. Life has been hard [...]

He’s 11, but still my baby

by Lisa November 2, 2011

Mothers intuition is always right. Something told me to hang around the house today and work instead of going into the Picaboo office to catch up on some work. Turns out Peanuts cold was something a little more. It’s sinus infection central here. We’ve moved beyond the runny nose to the head stuffed full of [...]

Bad Parent, No Trick-or-Treating

by Lisa November 1, 2011

I’m a bad parent. Not in the “my son is neglected” way, but in the worst way possible. I laughed at my kid. Not only did I laugh, I was doubled over, tears pouring our my eyes, busting a gut laughing. And I’m still laughing while I write this. What started out as an innocent [...]

I’m A Slacker Parent

by Lisa October 31, 2011

It’s Halloween and I’m sitting on my sofa in my PJ’s. Peanut is at school and I’ve been at work since 7:20. Yes, I realize how lucky I’m am to be sitting here working while HGTV is blaring in the background. Unfortunately, I’ve also realized what a slacker parent I am as Peanut’s Halloween costume isn’t [...]

I Like My New Jeans, But Only Ironically

by Lisa October 25, 2011

Peanut is 11 and has developed his own fashion style. Which means my opinion is no longer relevant. Yes, that’s the sound of my wallet snapping shut. However, I recently stopped in at H&M while on a work trip and picked him up a pair of jeans. You know the kinda, somewhat slim in cut, [...]

Fall Cooking with Costco — Pork Tenderloin with Apples

by Lisa October 22, 2011

Did you know it’s National Pork Month? I didn’t either, until the Motherhood and Costco reached out for me to cook a pork tenderloin for my readers and share the recipe. It’s definitely something I was up for. I love to cook and the family dinner is a tradition I want to pass down to [...]

Holy Hot Flashes Bat Man!

by Lisa October 21, 2011

I’m sitting here writing this post. I’m in shorts and a tank top with the deck door open, ceiling fan on high and I’m sweating. Did I mention it’s 45 degrees out? Welcome to peri-menopause.  I’m only 38 and didn’t think this could be happening to me, but it makes a lot of sense. I’ve [...]

Picaboo! Christmas is almost here! And Free Cards!

by Lisa October 20, 2011

Happy Holiday friends! What? Don’t fall out in the floor. Christmas will be here before you know it and believe me, I’m already sweating it. See, I don’t shop after mid-November and I’ve not done any yet. Yes, this is me stressing out. I really don’t want to be in the stores post Thanksgiving. I [...]
