Thursday, July 3rd, 2008I’ve been dreading this post. I’ve known for a while that I needed to write it. The time has come for me to bring Serenity How? to an official end. Real life has been calling - all good things, not bad I promise - and I just can’t manage the time to write here anymore.
I […]

Open Mouth, Insert Thermometer
Wednesday, April 9th, 2008The sickies are upon us again. My 8 year-old is home from school again today with a fever and sore throat. I’m typing this quickly because I need to spend more time with her and less with my computer.
My Works for Me tip is all about thermometers. I keep two digitals handy - one for […]
Fight the Frump - Not Fade Away
Friday, April 4th, 2008Does she or doesn’t she? …Only her hairdresser knows for sure.
Whatever.
Of course I’m talking about hair coloring, washing that grey right outta your hair, getting your natural highlights back outta the bottle. Call it what you will.
I’m not shy about it. I don’t mind talking about it.
I get my dye on.
My attitude is that it’s […]
Thumbs Up? Thumbs Down? You Be the Judge
Saturday, March 29th, 2008This morning I took the girls to see the movie version of Horton Hears a Who. I had mixed feelings about going. I generally don’t like it when Hollywood adapts a classic and much loved book to the big screen, plus poor ol’ Dr. Seuss isn’t around to defend himself (although his widow, Audrey Geisel […]
Fight the Frump with Whiter (Pearly) Whites
Friday, March 28th, 2008I spent the morning at the dentist, which gave me the inspiration for my FTF post. (Until they paste magazines to the ceiling, what else can I do?) It also gave me some seriously messy hair, but that’s fixable.
Anyway, as most of us know that dingy, yellow, coffee stained teeth are none too pretty and […]
The Bully and the Bear
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008One of the hardest lessons I learned growing up was this: Not everyone in the world is going to like me. How devastating. Shocking even, but true. It didn’t matter how nice I behaved or how hard I tried. It was what it was. I can’t remember when it happened or exactly how it got […]
Fight the Frump - Be Nosy
Friday, March 21st, 2008Far too often our job as Mom requires us to boldly go where well, no one else boldly goes. Where no one else even WANTS to go. Tasks such as scrubbing toilets, wiping bottoms and nose maintenance. You know what I mean.
For FTF Friday I’m boldly taking this post where we often forget to go […]
Frump Takes a Rest - Hu Nu?
Friday, March 14th, 2008First off, I’d like to give proper credit to Boo Mama for her post about a new time sucking sink hole site called Hulu, where you can watch TV and movies for free. It’s true, but I suspect that it’s secretly underwritten by the fine folks who bring us Preparation H.
Who knew (or in this […]
Less Frump and Less Tummy
Saturday, March 8th, 2008Less frump and less tummy. Two great things that go great together. Who wouldn’t want that? Because let’s face it, on a muffin the top is the best part. On our midsections, not so much.
Over at Mrs. Fussypants she’s dreaming of some really fussy cute pants jeans. After seeing them I think I’ll be dreaming […]
