The last time I’d cried because of a book was years ago and the culprit was Marley and Me. Crazy Quilt is such a different book yet so alike in many ways. Both deal with death and loss, both are incredibly moving stories, and both remind us how short and precious life is. 

The story begins when our protagonist, Flora Adams, decides to visit…

House of Gucci, synonym of luxury, success and status had recently added children’s line under its glorious belt. Gucci’s Children’s collection is designed in the best traditions of casual and nautical chic. Styling Gucci inspired outfits for less is easy-breezy thanks to the high popularity of the nautical style and casual chic trends sweeping every brand and retailer this…

Socks: cool and wacky, classy and goofy, sweet and sharp – there is no such thing as too many socks; especially, when you deal with washer, drier and boys. Therefore, the more socks, the merrier and since this new trend of rolled-up pants and exposed bright and fancy socks is taking  men’s fashion by the storm we need to pay some serious attention to this sock business. Boys Be Cool…

Though she doesn’t remember the trauma that caused it, Holly Miller, the main character of Shana’s novel, has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Her personality has fractured into five different identities,

together known as The Committee. And as much as they make Holly’s life

hell, she…

This season, a triumphant return of a cult classic dessert boots, makes the search for a cool boys’ footwear less painful. Desert boots aka Chukka boots, aka turf boots, aka MacAlister

in J.Crew interpretation, the ultimate “It” boots of the season have been a

wardrobe staple for the generations of trendsetters. The most prominent

purveyor of this cult classic, Clark’s has debuted the kid’s…

The Mayor: Unveiled….

That’s right people, the planets have aligned, the tea leaves have been read, & the Magic Eight Ball has proclaimed, “All signs point to yes!”. The Mayor is stepping out, in all her glory, to finally put a face to the name. This has all come about rather sudden like, but who am I to ignore the Magic Eight Ball??!! Earlier this week, I caught wind of a prom…a “Mom Prom”. Being held by …

Yet another week draws to a close, & with it, the realization that I have passed my 150th post…as a matter of fact, this makes 154, not including my other content. It’s been 173 days since Crazy Town first opened it’s borders to the general public. Obviously I’ve taken my position as Mayor quite seriously…& obviously I need to get a life. But before I do, allow me to welcome…

Things “They” Never Tell You…

As I make my way through the minefield of parenting, I have come to realize that there are far too many things no one ever bothers to tell you…BEFORE you have kids. It’s highly possible that these secrets are so closely guarded as to ensure the survival of the species. Whether or not these secrets would have changed my mind on…

Wordless Wednesday is back, & with it, yet another theme edition! See if you can guess what it is! In my hours spent browsing thousands of images, I often come across pictures or quotes I simply cannot pass up. However, I don’t always find occasion to fit them in to a post. This is the reason why I have embraced…

So, I have no idea if this is in “poor form” or not, & frankly I don’t much care…at least I’m being honest about it! Yep, I’m “recycling” a post! I am totally & completely burnt out dudes, & what time I did spend on the site this weekend, was spent “revamping” it a little bit, & catching up on some housekeeping chores…including swapping out …

My third child, & second daughter, is turning seven today. As she rejoices in being one step closer to getting out from under me, & having the ability to wear, do, say whatever she wants, I will be rejoicing in all she brings to my heart & my life. You are the burst of fresh air, the whirlwind of energy, the fierce, strong, independent child. You have never needed me the way…

In teaching The Boy the term “oxymoron” today, I used two examples to get the point across…”fighting for peace”, & “adult male”. The second example brings me to today’s post! Given all the birthday hubbub in Crazy Town this week, Father’s Day tends to take a back seat to the kidlets. To…

IT’S NOT @$#*%! ROCKET SCIENCE, IT’S @$#*%! LAUNDRY!! And that’s all I can manage to spit out through my severely clenched teeth without my head exploding.

What’s that you say?? A laundry mishap AGAIN??

OH NO, HE DIDN’T!! OH HELLS YEAH, HE DID!!

And ’cause I just can’t make this sh** up, yet another Punk Ass rotten little boy…

The Boy is about to turn 12. I’m baffled as to how that happened. I can’t possibly be old enough to have a 12 year old. Of course, a birthday means a birthday party. Always chaotic, stressful, & expensive. His birthday falls on Thursday this year, but of course, being a school day, the plan would be to have it on the following Saturday. Certainly that was HIS plan. However, being the…

Just as I got in the door, the cuckoo clock in the hallway started up and cuckooed 3 times. Quickly realizing my…

Yes, you read that correctly! (*blush*) I admit, I was a little taken aback when The Dirty Mommy Club first asked me to take part in a threesome. Wait, what?? Dirty Mommy Club?? Threesome?? Ummmmm…it all sounds awfully risqué for someone in my, very public, position of power. Though I have to give mad props for her sheer brilliance, because…

Definitely a title befitting Kristi’s Live and Love…Out Loud ONHD Tuesday’s! Be sure to pop over, join in, blog it, post it, link it, & visit around as she gives us free rein to vent & bitch under the guise of tongue-in-cheek fun!

But let’s face it, no way in hell I can top yesterday for being THE most head-shakin’est, finger-wavin’est “OH NO, HE DIDN’T”…
