I never really make New Year Resolutions, at least resolutions that are big and require a lot of commitment, because I know I won’t really follow through. I’ve got three little kids, two dogs, one husband, and a business, so I’m busy. But I can still make an informal one. What’s an informal New Year [...]

NORAD is tracking Santa! You can follow Santa’s path throughout the world as he delivers his presents to the good little boys and girls. Virtually all of Europe is done already. It’s amazing how efficient he is. At the moment that I’m writing this he’s in Amsterdam, Netherlands, which means it should be a fast [...]

Thanks to my designer, I am back up and running normally. Whew. I really messed up that one. Wordpress needs to issue me training wheels with its next upgrade. Thanks, Natalie.

Since August 12, my Feedburner stats have said 0, which is obviously wrong. I subscribe to my own feed so I can monitor things, but I’ve been getting feed updates normally, so I just assumed everything was ok. But it’s not, obviously. I’m sorry if you haven’t been getting my rss feed updates. [...]

Hey, I’ve got an exciting new project that I just launched called Up North Mommy Talks Politics.
Those who already know me know I’m a news and politics junkie. Recently, however, my head is so wrapped around motherhood ( a very good thing, don’t get me wrong!), I’ve been blogging more about that than I have [...]

Yes, I’m officially a geek. How so? Because I got so excited, like “I got a new handbag!” excited, when my new Seagate External Hard Drive arrived. This is my new best friend:

It’s so cool. I bought it on eBay for $66. It’s 100 gig, so it’s space I desperately needed, and I really [...]

I just saw via Jo-Lynne at Musings of a Housewife that Robin at Pensieve is having a BlogHop party for those bloggers who aren’t in San Francisco at the BlogHer convention (read: me) and are encouraging other bloggers to participate.
