As memoir continues to expand in popularity, motherhood memoir has become an increasingly prominent and lucrative subgenre for contemporary authors. As Michelle Herman points out in The Middle of Everything: Memoirs of Motherhood, if forced to choose between her...
Three years ago, we got the steal of the century at Target and the best bang for our buck cooking-wise we've had in years. For $250 (including tax) we bought a Nexgrill Stainless Steel Gas Grill that normally sells for $549.99. First, it was on sale. Then because only a damaged model was left (and they had to sell it before they could sell anyone the floor model), the manager gave us an an additional 30% off the sale price. He told us that if we weren't able to put it together because of ...
We've been sharpening pencils all day. And the car is packed with school supplies to take to today's open house. But as Staples likes to remind us, It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year. (Thanks to Wendy at SparkPlug CEO.)

I think the quiz is off - it said my accent is "Mid-Central" as in Minnesota. I grew up in Northern New England, spent a number of years in Boston, and now live in Florida. No one has ever heard me speak and asked if I live in Minnesota.
Have you noticed that the women's volleyball teams practically play in bras and panties - much to the delight of my eight-year-old son who loves tall, older women - while the men wear shorts and tank tops?
I think the men should be shirtless at least, don't you? Speedos could be, er, interesting, too. So could a mankini.

This month Sony Electronics is helping more children smile through its support of the worldwide children’s medical charity Operation Smile.
Sony’s retail promotion for Sony Cyber-shot® cameras featuring Smile ShutterTM technology at Sony Style® Stores, Sonystyle.com, and other participating retailers. Through this effort, the company will make a $100,000 donation to the organization. The funds will be used to provide free physical examinations and reconstructive surgeries for children suffering from cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.
By chance were you on the phone with your mother and/or drinking heavily when you took the quiz? I find those two triggers always cause my (former?!) Boston accent to shine through...

It’s the best use of BlogHer swag that I’ve ever seen! (Swag, for the uninitiated, is all the free stuff PR people send bloggers and that pick up at conferences like BlogHer.)
Someone from my ‘hood! Anne Marie...also has that sort of hair where you can just take a shower and show up somewhere with a wet head and your hair looks fantastic by the time it’s dry. I hate her. No, I actually love her, despite the fact that she has perfect hair and I don’t.
First, I'd like to thank Laura for the compliment, ...

We have one and are done. I'm so glad she was a girl so I wouldn't pressure myself. I am medically unable to have children, and you know what. I'm fine with it. I really am.
She's going into the 2nd grade. Where has the time gone?
We wanted more than one. We were honest about it, right from the start. The both of us wanted a few children, bunched close together. Maybe there's some who say a guy can't be 'baby hungry' but mine was -...
As a writer I'm obsessed with finding the right notebook. It can't be too big or I can't carry it around in my bag. And it can't be too small, because you can't write in such a notebook. Instead, you can only take notes, which is why I have a sparkly pink mini notebook perfect for fitting in the smallest of purses when I go out to parties or events.
