A few months ago, inspired by a contest I participated in, I wrote ‘I Want to See Inside Your Fridge‘. In it, I shared pictures of the insides of our bedroom closets and asked you to do the same. My friend Shannon, inspired by that post, shared pictures on her blog of real life spaces […]
A Bad Case of the Mondays
MONDAY 6:00 a.m.: The alarm rings. My mental to-do list immediately begins to run through my head. It’s a bit longer and more urgent than usual because today is the last day I’ll be home for a week. Early tomorrow morning, my 10 month old and I will say goodbye to Eric and the boys […]
40: It’s the New 16… (And YOU could be featured in my next post!)
Have you ever looked at your life and thought, “Well, how did I get here?” I don’t mean it in a negative way necessarily (certainly not in my case since I love where I am), but more in a ‘where did the time go?!’ sort of way. You’re living your life, letting the days go […]
Food Fight
I’ve always been a picky eater. My mom likes to tell the story of when I was no more than two years old. She had apparently prepared something I didn’t like for supper because dinner was over, everyone had left the table, and I was still sitting stubbornly in my highchair, meal in front on […]
I want to see inside your fridge
I recently participated in a contest in which one of the requirements was to take a picture of the inside of your refrigerator, as is, no pre-picture cleaning allowed. It was fun to get a little glimpse into other people’s lives, but what I found even more interesting were the comments that accompanied the pictures. […]
Bird is NOT the Word
Gather ’round kids and I’ll delight you with stories from my past. Today’s theme: birds. To you, they’re cute feathered friends; something to feed outside your window and identify in a nature book. To me, they’re winged demons, intent on my harm. It all began at the tender young age of two. My family was […]
Resolution Update
Don’t know what I’m talking about? Click here. Each week I’ll update my progress in this particular post. If you usually receive emails when I write new posts, I don’t believe you’ll get an email for the updates. I will, however, link to the post on Facebook (www.facebook.com/ohhonestly) each time I update it. So if […]
The Most Important Resolution I’ve Ever Made
Since I’ve started my ‘journey into honest living’ I haven’t shared anything too bad about myself. You’ve learned that I’m messy and that I occasionally yell at my kids. That I like going to the grocery store by myself and that I think Victorian Santas are freaky. I’ve told you things that aren’t terribly flattering, […]
Movies I’ve Never Seen
The other day some friends were talking about their ‘must-see’ Christmas movies. Almost everyone included Miracle on 34th St on their list. When I mentioned that I’ve never seen it, there was a general consensus that I have to watch it. This got me thinking about all the movies I’ve never seen. So here they […]
24/7
I know you’ve all been waiting with bated breath to hear about The Phone Conversation. You’ve lain awake at night wondering what could possibly have been said that has me searching for some way to write about it without complaining about the person on the other end of the line. I hate to let you […]
