Blogging paid off big time for Christmas include this new pair of kicks that Scott designed to replace my falling-apart-from-love yellow Converse I bought in 1998. (By “blogging paying off” I mean “Scott actually had ideas on what to buy me” — the day Converse sponsors anything I do is the day I sell out [...]

Have a fantastic Christmas if you celebrate. If you don’t, enjoy the movies and Chinese food and free cookies from all the people who assume you do. And all of you should watch our ridiculous holiday singing video with love from my family to yours. It’s safe for work, kids and any time you need [...]

By now, you’ve read about Kmart. Random people have paid off stranger’s Kmart layaway in time for Christmas. The anonymous generosity is spreading from city to city, but the story that remains with me is of a woman who stood at the layaway line and paid for 50 families, 2 carts worth of toys and [...]

We practice Santa Claus in our home as in he comes on Christmas Eve and leaves some of the presents that my kids asked for in a letter. He flies to our home like he flew to our childhood homes and our parents’ homes and our grandparents’ homes every Christmas Eve. We see it as [...]

I love Christmas even more than Halloween. The tinsel, the presents, the lights, the joy, the mix of the material and the spiritual. The Caroling of Bells still brings me to tears. And so much red! My favorite color! Which brings me to this: I fully support ignoring Thanksgiving. And yes, this is the first [...]

I used the Internet for the first time from an Apple computer. It was 1994 and my AOL screen name was failebg.* (*Steve Jobs didn’t work for Apple at the time, but he did create the company so I’m starting here. And yes there is a story behind failebg that I will blog another day.) [...]

We aren’t materialistic. Okay, we’re a little materialistic. I adore shoes. And I enjoy buying toys and clothing for my cute kids! But I really try not to emphasize STUFF. We didn’t get them everything on their Christmas list (that’s right! NO KITTEN). But when someone asked E what Santa got him for Christmas, he [...]

I don’t know where you hide presents for your children. But ours go in the zombie apocalypse stash. Which is how we found the leaking eight gallons of spring water. I was a little shocked that someone is already sabotaging us. Thank goodness we hadn’t put the stolen antibiotics and pain medication in there yet. [...]
