This week’s laughs

This week’s laughs

1. One morning, Bastian brought a container to me to “open, mama” while I was still in bed and half asleep. I’m used to him bringing me yogurt and I started to open it then realized the container was slightly larger than normal. The little stinker had brought Jell-O chocolate pudding! I had to...

Fifty Shades Of Grey… Trending Book Or Mommy Porn?

Somehow, I missed this one!  Although I have never implied that I am all about the “latest trends” regardless of the name of my website.  Trending Mom is not about following or knowing all current trends.  It is about following what is trending in your world rather than the world around you.  My...

Working Women: You Are A Different Person At Work Than At Home

Working Women: You Are A Different Person At Work Than At Home

Here’s a major bulletin: you are a different person at work than you are at home. We need to sort out who we are at work versus who we are as parent, lover, or friend. At work we have special talents to put to use. We can test our boldness; we can measure our own self-worth. At work we need to focus on our... Continue reading »

My Doctor, A Last Minute Appointment And Jail?

Ah… the sound of a phone ringing… Remember the days when there were no answering machines?  If you were not in the mood to pick up the phone, you had to be prepared for potential Chinese torture in case the caller did not want to hang up… or better yet, thought they did but… the phone did not quite land on...

Are My Personal Facebook Page Likes Spamming Your Notifications?

Are My Personal Facebook Page Likes Spamming Your Notifications?

Thanks to a good friend yesterday who let me know that they were getting "way too many" notifications of what I was commeting on with Facebook, using my Personal Profile. The types of notifications she has been getting were ones where I have commented on another Page, Liked a Comment, Photo or Post or had interaction... Continue reading »

Polomatic App – Polaroid Photography for the Digital Age

Polomatic App – Polaroid Photography for the Digital Age

I am in photo nirvana at this moment. I found the most incredible photo app today just by happenstance. It is called Polomatic and it is created by none other than Polaroid. It is the perfect blend between modern digital photography and classic Polaroid style. The app allows users to create a retro photo by either... Continue reading »

Anyone else trying to lose weight?

Ugh, I’ve been trying to get rid of the same weight for what feels like forever. I was hoping to find a weekly weight loss blog hop or linky party that would help keep me accountable, but haven’t had any luck yet. Do you know of any? If I started one here, do you think anyone would participate? Continue reading »

Pin It Tuesday – July 4th

Pin It Tuesday – July 4th

Is it too soon to think about celebrating July 4th? Memorial Day is almost upon us and that kicks off summer with July 4th right behind it. I’ve been totally digging up the best ideas on Pinterest this week for it. How easy and cheap would this bandanna tablecloth be? Plus it is so fun looking! This cake would... Continue reading »

A Turtles Tale: Sammy’s Adventures… And A Few Tears

.After a busy day of gallivanting with my girls, we were finally home and ready to settle in for the night.  After supper, it was time to get cozy on the couch with my little ones and watch a movie.  Browsing through Netflix on our Apple TV, we found the movie of the night!  ”A Turtles Tale: Sammy’s...

Can I tell y’all a sort of secret?

Hubby and I can’t decide what to do next. We don’t have a house anymore to worry over, and the new job is going well and allows us the freedom to move where ever in the South we want. Atlanta really isn’t big rig friendly because of the traffic rules and types of loads for delivery available so... Continue reading »

From iPhoto to Aperture: Why I made the move.

From iPhoto to Aperture: Why I made the move.

Since I had a baby and got a DSLR camera, our photo library grew exponentially.  Like, thousands of photos a month.  When you have a child as adorable as mine, it only makes sense to record every outfit, moment, trip to the playground, and I’ve used iPhoto for years and love the way it organizes photos…....

You may have noticed the last time you logged into Blogger to either check your own blog or follow another, that the "Follow" Button that was originally located on the top left hand side of the NavBar has been removed and replaced with a Share Button!! Google it seems feels that this was an unused feature (while I... Continue reading »

Fashion Trends For Little Ones… Too Revealing?

This afternoon, my girls and I went shopping for summer clothes.  Instead of findings clothes suited for children, what we found were a wide array of adult clothing, shrunk, and being sold as children’s clothes.  My girls, unfortunately, did not realize that the clothes mistakenly showcased in the...

Facebook Dislike Button Too Much To Ask For?

Facebook…  It has changed the way many look at social media.  Facebook has also helped many people engage in Social Media that normally would not have.  Not only is it easy to use, it has allowed people to stay connected with one another, and reconnect with others.  Facebook offers a wide array of features...

So Over School Projects

So Over School Projects

School projects. You either love them or you hate them. Guess which camp I am in? Last month was a busy month for school projects. We’d worked hard creating ginormous maps of fantasy lands and accompanying artifacts central to the story. We spent countless hours building a fictitious character entirely out of...

The $5 Desk

The $5 Desk

My mom came over today and brought her latest thrift store find: a $5 Little Tikes desk! It has a light up surface or a desk lamp plus tons of storage for crayons and coloring books. Bastian loves it, can you tell? P.S. – Please excuse the cruddy camera phone picture! Continue reading »
