So, it’s officially Christmas break. Kids! Toys! Dozens of undone tasks on my to-do list!

Guys. My love for all things stretchy and lounge-y and soft is real.

I’m the kind of person who gets a lot of use out of my basics. Favorite pair of jeans? On heavy rotation. MVP foundation? I have three tubes at a time, stationed in various places.

It’s funny how quickly bad news travels–especially things that aren’t supposed to get back to you. Things that are mean. Inconsiderate. Judgmental. Just all-around crappy.

We are getting so close to Christmas, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve put off a crap-ton of shopping until the last minute.

Hello, friends! These are some things that I’m loving these days, and of course wanted to share with you…

I joke that during any given day, I accomplish my 12-hour “stand goal” solely by moving within a three-foot radius in my kitchen—-with my sink being at the center point–because in that precise spot is where I spend about 75% of my days.

I don’t have enough phalanges to count the number of times people have asked me why I quit my job in TV news.

Some things you can’t understand until you experience them. Yeah… that’s motherhood.

Ties, money clips and sweaters. Let’s all do the men in our lives a favor this year and JUST SAY NO to those (nice enough, but still incredibly commonplace and dare I say boring) gifts.
