    My Little Buffalo

Mom jeans & the Paint Stylings of Blair.

I need to talk to y’all about the post-baby pseudo-FUPA. This is serious.  Stop laughing. If you’ve had a baby, you know what I’m talking about.  If you’ve had a baby & don’t know what a FUPA is, Google it & then you’ll know what I’m talking about.  (I’m terrified of the spam & creepy [...]

I am selfish.

Sometimes, I forget my husband. I forget that my husband has fears & doubts & worries.  Partly because I see him as a pillar of strength, the unwavering head of our family.  Mostly because I can’t remove my head from my ass long enough to consider him. & that’s just awful. I forget that he’s [...]

Reality bites. But does it have to?

You know when you stumble across a blog post that completely rocks your world?  & it’s sweet because the owner of said blog probably doesn’t even comprehend the magnitude at which she may or may not have just changed your life.  By a few paragraphs, a few thoughts, & penning it all down on the [...]

UNCLE, or more appropriately titled, What Real Estate Has Taught Me.

About two months ago, we decided to try our luck at this dismal economy & put our house on the market.  No real pressure, but just to see if it would sell so that we could move in closer to our jobs & therefore steal back another hour & a half out of our day [...]

I hope you wish on every star; I hope you never fall too far…

Tonight, I sat drinking with my Twitter buddies (oh em gee, I’m so simultaneously lame & awesome) & flipping through old pictures.  & suddenly, I was seized with the most poignant, emotional grip around my heart. This girl, right here: Did she know who she would become?  Did she know what an amazing life she [...]

First in the Working Mom Series.

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start.  I feel like I am on hyper-sensory overload from the constant, never-ending buzz of…well, LIFE.  Being touched by Harrison & Nate.  Curlers, make-up, starched collars on my button-down.  Constant office chatter & questions.  Papers shuffled, computers tapping, radios going, droning voices in a meeting, the ringing of [...]

Real Simple (not just a magazine I adore)

Two days ago, I turned in our cable boxes. I KNOW, RIGHT?! It was like cutting an umbilical cord made of wires & screws.  I even  got a little misty-eyed as I shut down the DVR for the final time, saying goodbye to the saved Carolina basketball games of the 2008-2009 season & my Lipstick [...]

Someone should probably nominate me for a date with Clinton & Stacy.

You know those folks that have an incredibly innate, natural, check-out-how-cool-&-creative-I-am style about them? I am so NOT one of those people.  On the other hand, if I have any redeeming quality, it is probably my lack of denial over my lack of style ability.  It took me until I was well out of college [...]

Step aside, McDreamy.

Remember how I was all frantic about my failure as a parent regarding the pediatrician “Meet n’ Greet?” Well, turns out that Nate is not only good for a hot lay & solid taste in good beer, he’s also a connoisseur of the “who you know” factor. Light bulbs clicked & Nate realized that we [...]

Welcome to the Adult Club. Good news is, I hear they have wicked Christmas parties.

I remember when I was a teenager & I could not WAIT to be an adult. Have a job, drink alcohol, decorate my own house, start a family. Good thing I conveniently blocked out the part where being an adult requires lawyers & financial planners. Oh, & mortgages, car payments, insurance, & legal guardians. Plus [...]
