Discovering Makeup – Uncovering Confidence
Tall Dad and I have taken on the task of eating only protein, vegetables, fruits and nuts for 30 straight days – as part of the Whole30 program. The only problem was, our tiny apartment is chock full of grains, cookies, candy, ice cream, and an assortment of items we are no longer able to […]
One of my girlfriends has just given birth to an adorable baby boy, and I couldn’t be happier for her! To help celebrate, I’m sending she and her husband a super-duper new-parent postpartum recovery survival kit, including all sorts of essentials – like pain medicine, 5-hour ENERGY® shots, snacks, headbands and much more! She and […]
It’s full on summer here in the Ocean State – and that means it’s time for the beach! Our family recently visited Warren Town Beach, a true gem in Rhode Island, and had a most lovely time. Tall Dad and I learned that going to the beach with a toddler is a bit more cumbersome – […]
So, Tall Dad and I have jumped feet first into the podcast world. You are already well aware of our first foray into podcasting – ParentCast. But, aha! Another show! It’s called, “The Living Reminders.” In TLR, we recap and discuss the show, “The Leftovers” on HBO! The basic premise behind the “The Leftovers” is […]

This includes stocking up on non perishables, Duracell batteries, packing my […]
Today’s guest post is by an Etsy artist and parent who I met online. I fell in love with his artwork, and then even more-so with the story of his family. Please read on to learn more about Josh Dunaway and Chunky Rocket. My wife and I were like most young married couples in the […]
I never realized how scared I would become by being a parent. Chest seizing almost overwhelmingly scared that something could happen to my child. Last night I watched the movie Philomena, and it kept me up all night, and still haunts me this morning. Philomena isn’t a particularly scary movie. The “bad guys” in the […]
I feel like I should be prancing through a beautiful field of grass, singing lyrics to Disney’s Frozen. “When life gets rough, I like to hold onto my dream, of relaxing in the summer sun, just lettin’ off steam.” But before I relax in the sun, I need to prep for summer. This pale Tall Mom […]
