When Easter Recipes Go Wrong

Easter Eggs_Hidden_04-20-14

TechMom Tuesday: Santa’s Coming!

TechMom

I write a monthly column over at AlliOSNews. It’s a techie site – extolling all the goodies and gunpowder on the Apple OS. (SHINY TOY!) I’m TechMom. And these are my stories on how technology is really used. This is what you must deal with, as I am a Silicon Valley nerd by day.

I’m well aware it’s Monday. TechMom Tuesday is typically published the first Tuesday of every month, except for this month when there were TWO (this being the second Tuesday title of the month). I reserve the right to rant more or less as the technical goings-on, well…go on. It’s only fitting – Santa’s coming!) Continue reading

Momma’s 12 Days of Christmas

Momma Be Thy Name

One of the best things about blogging – aside from getting to tell all you wonderful people all my wacky stories – is getting to know the wacky stories of others.One of those hilarious people is blogger Momma Be Thy Name. Tagline “Because misery loves company” in case you needed proof. Stephanie (the aforementioned Momma) is a fellow twin mom, embracing the craziness and chronicling it on her blog. I can relate.

TechMom Tuesday: The Christmas Card Conundrum

I’m well aware it’s Wednesday.

Apple Cake Good Enough for the Pope (Happy Thanksgiving)

Apple Cake

What it’s supposed to look like

Happy Halloween: Disguises through the years

monsters-inc-sulley-and-mike-wallpaper-1920

Another year, another adorable terrible twosome.

In need of power, no longer through the screams of a child, but through the bouncing-off-the-wall energy  of 3-year-olds who have discovered that by going to door and simply looking adorable, neighbors will willingly hand over candy.
