This week I’m debuting an “interactive” feature for everyone to play with!
Every Friday, I’ll run this post which will ask readers to submit their favorite blog entry of the week from ANYWHERE in the blogosphere! It could be an awesome recipe, a pretty picture, a great story, a silly joke, etc… just [...]
. I’m not going to lie… I think I said, “OMG – Look at this!” about 15 times to Mr. M last night as I flipped through the latest Sunset Magazine. But the showstopper of the issue was most definitely the chocolate recipes that they had. Do you see how good those [...]

Dear Mr. Dishwasher-that-came-with-the-house,
I know you were only a mere 5 years old, but sadly you just never lived up to your potential. We were happy to see that you were in apparently good working order when we came into the house, but that’s when you began to exhibit strange characteristics. Sometimes you [...]

Sunday was a special sort of football day… since Mr. M’s team was actually in contention for a spot in the Super Bowl. Sadly, years of lowered expectations for his beloved Jets had him quietly cheering them on during the game… which made the disappointment a little bit easier to bare when it [...]
. And then there was the stroller…
.
We pushed and prodded and researched and asked… then shopped some more and more. And everytime we touched this thing at the store, some experienced mom with #2 on the way would inevitably stop by and say, “OMG. You’ll LOVE this stroller!” and rave about it endlessly. [...]

For the next few Fridays, the lovely Liz of PaisleePress is hosting a “develop” photography series with the wonderful photographer Jefra Starr Linn. Each week there’s a posted assignment, a guided creativity lesson, and a chance to showcase your results via either
. Starting today, the National Cartoonists Society Foundation (NCSF) will be launching a fund-raising auction of original art by America’s top cartoonists who donated their work to help one of their own in his time of need. In August of 2009, Matthew Hodge, the teenage son of former Disney and Veggie Tales artist Tim [...]
I didn’t take weekly belly photos for a few reasons. First reason – I hate taking self-portraits, let alone 40 of them. Second reason – When I asked Mr. M to do it, I’d pout at the result and delete them and get hostile towards him for not telling me that I looked that bad. [...]

One of the most daunting tasks of being a homeowner is invariably making your home “yours.” When you’ve relied heavily on the style of IKEA or hand-me-downs… it’s hard to jump out of that box and find what YOU are really all about. Sometimes you can find [...]

Allegedly the sound I hear beating against the window pane is just El Nino stopping by to say, “Hello!” to California. And if we’re in for the super wet winter that everyone is projecting, I’d like to start more of my mornings like today’s holiday celebration. Sweatshirt, yoga pants, slippers and a hot [...]

We’re wild and crazy people who like to spend their rainy Saturday nights indoors eating home-cooked food, drinking fun cocktails (mocktails for me), snacking on chocolate goodies, and rolling dice. Yeah yeah… we’re a couple that likes to live on the edge and play weekend matches of Settlers of Catan.

No offense Memphis and Basseterre… but “if” I were a celebrity lucky enough to stop by the swag suites for the Golden Globes… I’d totally be picking myself up a free mini pig and we’d expand the home to a puppy/bunny/piggie habitat. Good thing that I’m far away from Wilshire Blvd right [...]
