Mom Bloggers: I Want To Hear Your Story! 2008-09-03 10:32:29 What If. . . Wednesday is here again, and I’ve been thinking about some things. “Mary, you’re ALWAYS thinking about things!”, you say? I know, I know. If you can help me with a way to shut down my thoughts for just a bit, please let me know. Sometimes I think my thinking gets me [...]
Blissful Day & A Giveaway! 2008-09-02 16:42:18 Today’s the day - the official launch day of the NEW Blissfully Domestic site! I’m sorry that I’m just getting around to posting about it, but I had some trouble viewing the site due to ISP issues and was afraid that you all might have problems with it as well. I’m hoping that all is [...]
Office Organization - Look What I Did! 2008-09-01 17:29:36 Woohoo! I actually did it this weekend. I cleaned my office area. Hip hip hooray! I feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted. I’m feeling so good about cleaning up my act, that I’m inspired to keep up the momentum by tackling my basket in the kitchen. Each member of the family has their [...] Read more:Organization

A Little Organization, Please 2008-08-27 07:15:13 I was true to my word and took yesterday off to recuperate from the back-to-school frenzy. It was nice, I must say. I played with the baby, took a nap, and did some reading. But it’s back-to-work for me today! It’s also What If. . .Wednesday, the day I contemplate doing something different, out of [...] Read more:Organization

Blog Postponed Due To Back-To-School Hell! 2008-08-25 13:28:40 Where, oh where did the summer go? My kids go back to school tomorrow! TOMORROW! I haven’t gotten their supplies, checked to make sure they’ve got a decent enough wardrobe, or gotten them back on track with the school night bedtime routine. Ack!
In my defense, I’ve been waiting (and hoping real hard) for my Walgreen’s [...] Read more:School
I Am Not Weird 2008-08-22 12:22:15 I’ve been tagged by Janina at Bear Bugga for a fun meme. I’m supposed to name 7 weird facts about myself. Sounds like fun, except I’m SURE there’s absolutely NOTHING weird about me. So I guess I can’t play.
Okay, you know I’m lying. I’m about as weird as they come. So I guess I can probably come [...] Read more:Weird
The Suicide Disease 2008-08-21 10:15:34 I am extremely thankful for my health and the health of my family. Our biggest health issues include allergies, headaches, and sore muscles. I have a friend, however, who has suffered from various debilitating ailments for a good part of her life. Her most recent episode has caused me to thank my lucky stars [...] Read more:Suicide
What If…I Never Blogged? 2008-08-20 09:29:10 I’ve been thinking lately about how my life has changed since having Brady and really getting down to the business of writing. What if I hadn’t started my blog? Writing here every nearly every day for the past few months has really been a blessing in my life.
Starting my blog has given me the push I [...]

I Know What I Must Do 2008-09-17 20:23:09 When I first began this blog, I wrote out my short-term goals for the summer. One of which was, of course, to lose some of the weight I gained while pregnant with Brady. I’m sure I mentioned to you all that I failed in that area miserably. That’s okay, I’ve done pretty well on most [...]
Keep Your Lipstick On! 2008-09-16 22:21:49 I used to hate lipstick. What a waste of money! I’d put it on, and it looked great. . . for about a minute, five tops. Then my poor lips would be pale and pitiful all over again. But I’ve finally learned a way to make it stay. From Mary Kay. Yes, I’m a poet. [...] Read more:Lipstick
Do Women Have a Negativity Receptor? 2008-09-15 21:50:01 There is an article in the August issue of O, The Oprah Magazine that I have been contemplating for a few weeks now. I’ve been meaning to write about it a while, but other topics have come up. However, it’s still been lurking in the back of my mind, so I’ve decided that it’s something [...] Read more:Women

Positive Living 2008-09-11 11:04:32 My friend, Angela, from Unexpected Art is amazing. She started a PositiveLiving
network, and I just admire her for it. Her tagline is “Working to be positive in an increasingly negative world.” It really is work to maintain positivity, but it’s work well spent, in my opinion.
I recently joined her group and jumped on [...]
Meet Writer Dad! 2008-09-10 09:56:55 This week, I started my telephone interviews with mom bloggers for my upcoming Friday Feature Profile series. It’s been so great connecting with other moms and hearing their stories about how blogging has impacted their lives. The connection between moms is amazing!

Best Remedy for Teething Pain 2008-09-09 10:10:59 Poor Brady is teething. He’s got his two bottom teeth in, and they’re so cute. But it seems he’s got some coming through in the back, and he’s just miserable. Miserable, for him, anyway. He’s such a good baby - the easiest of my three.
I thought I’d share my favorite teething product with you all [...] Read more:Teething
