I’m all about the Glitz and the Glam trend right now. I really think it’s just perfect for the Holiday season. It’s super easy to fit into your wardrobe with some accessories!
Special thanks to Andrea Lyons, CEO of Bring Back Desire for this great post! In a perfect world, my husband and I are alone at a romantic resort, where we get couples massages, candlelight dinners al fresco, breakfast in bed, dancing under the stars, and lots of undisturbed nookie time. Here’s the reality: two busy [...]
Ask and your wish may come true! We requested book ideas/suggestions earlier this year and we had several requests for books with a cooking theme. I’m happy to say we were able to find a great book that’s about so much more than cooking. We have several copies to give away to Manic Mommies listeners [...]
by guest columnist Jennifer Blau It’s been a while since I have written a post for Jen’s Fitness Corner and I can only say it’s because I have been super busy with …well, life. That’s not to say I haven’t heard and read about Erin’s recent ACL injury and subsequent surgery. All I have to [...]
I can’t believe it’s April. The school year is winding down, summer activity sign-ups are underway, and I can’t wait to sit on the deck and relax with a glass of wine. Too bad it’s still freezing on the east coast! If I didn’t have work today I would be snuggled on the sofa, fire [...]
Thanks to author, and Escape guest, Meg Waite Clayton for contributing this post. The story of my writing starts with a ubiquitous Mom Tool: a little brown paper lunch bag, the kind my sons took their sandwiches and Oreo cookies to school in whenever they’d left their plastic Power Rangers lunch boxes behind the day [...]
The following is a guest post from Lisa Kothari of Peppers and Pollywogs. So, will you have goblins and pumpkins around your home this year, or perhaps Chicken Little? Whatever you decide for your costumes for your Halloween party and trick or treat night, keep a few tips in mind when purchasing and/or making costumes [...]
As I recently confessed, I do not like doing laundry. I don’t even like to talk about it, which is why I’m surprised to find myself writing about it, again, in the same month, never mind the same year. During BlogHer, Erin and I were invited to attend a luncheon hosted by Tide and Gymboree, [...]
Like many parents, Erin and I often get the question “how do you DO it all?” And maybe we—wives, moms, friends, communicators, podcasters, bloggers, entrepreneurs, event organizers and new media mavens—are extreme cases of trying to “do it all . . . and then some.” As we’ve come into our own as parents, and adjusted [...]
NOTE FROM THE MANIC MOMMIES: Our friends at General Motors asked us to pass along some information about a new feature available through OnStar. Written by Cathy McCormick—a mother of two college students Allison (22) and Kylie (20) and one furry kid Felix the cat (age undisclosed)—she is the OnStar Emergency Services Line Manager. Before [...]
Admit it. You doodle during meetings. Maybe you sketch out boxes, write down your grocery list, or cover a page with flowers, circles or other do-dads. I’ve heard that doodling is a good way to untap your creative mind, or even help troubled youth. (I have no idea if any of that is true, but [...]
