although we really can’t completely avoid shopping with our precious offspring in tow, now that the holidays are upon us, here is my advice and must-have amo when taking the little ones shopping.
most of my shopping with the kids revolves around grocery shopping, or a quick run to supertarget, but if i have to go clothing shopping with them, nordstrom rack and marshalls are pretty much the only places i know of that have cute clothes AND shopping carts. of course, with the kids, you are guaranteed a return trip back since i don’t recommend trying on attempting to try on clothes while they are with you – this only cuts significantly into your lollipop time!
so next time when you are out shopping with the wee ones, don’t be a ‘sucker’ - grab a pack of ‘dum-dums’ (they are the smaller version of the tootsie pops with no gum/tootsie roll inside) – throw the kids in the cart and start shopping…after all, you’ve got 20 minutes – and for the modern mama and uber multi-tasker, we can accomplish a lot in 20 minutes!
i know when i came back to the blog-osphere, i vowed to try and post at least two times per week…however, lately my day job has been seeming to get in the way of my blogging (and mad ranting!), so this week i only have a quickie post (and apology) that this week’s post is going ’solo-mio’…since i gotta continue to support my diet coke and shoe addiction. 
now i know i have home decor listed as one of my topics, and home decor is really my passion - so here goes…here is a fabulous new site (or at least new to ME!) - called wall candy arts. they adversitse themselves as offering ‘hip surface graphics’ and i think they deliver! the wallies for kids are cute and modern, and the chalkboard removable decals are the coolest things ever. i am putting the rococo down on my santa wish list - at 31″ x 18″ - size does matter as this erasable chalkboard can help any modern mama’s life and home be organized and stylish without breaking the bank!
stay-tuned for my holiday wish list that all modern mama’s can use! from the fabulous to the practical, this list will have it ALL…because we deserve it, right?!
yes, it’s true. in the last 2 ½ years since my youngest was born - i have lost about 400 lbs and counting. of course, if we ARE counting, then that means i also must admit that i have also gained about 393 lbs, thus leaving me with the same ol’ 7 lbs fluctuating about for the last two plus years. now, the problem isn’t me (of course not!) – it’s saturdays. you see, monday-friday, i eat healthy, work out, and am so consumed with work, i rarely have time to snack or overindulge. but then comes friday night. we usually end up bringing food in, and as a ‘reward’ for my diligence and tough work week, i always get a hearty meal with the intention of saving half for later. but later never comes…because i never end up saving half my meal! then i end up going to sleep feeling full and satisfied and next thing you know – hello saturday! now i don’t know about you, but saturdays in this modern mama’s household is usually full of kids birthday parties, barbeques, and getting together with friends and family – many times, all in the same day! and of course, all these events revolve around food. good food…but BAD food, if you get my ever-expanding mid-drift!
so what’s a modern mama to do?!?! sleep all day saturday to avoid overindulging on the weekends?! works for me! three day weekends are another double-edged sword as well – but that is a whole new post since right now i need to go grab some menus to see what’s for dinner tonight…after all – it’s friday and i’ve had a tough week…
