Classic Characters for Today's Kids-- Peanuts Sneakers

I really love it when iconic characters are introduced to new generations especially when it's done in a really nice way. Take, for example, New Balance's line of Peanuts sneakers. There are three versions celebrating Halloween, Fall, and Christmas. New Balance has all of them available here . Prices range from $42.99 - $64.99 depending on the sizes. read more...

Ten Minute Tidying | Moms Miami

Ten Minute Tidying

My three young children are experts at turning my house upside down. While I understand as far as my children and I go, I am definitely the Goliath to their David-- I feel it is imperative to point out it's Goliath against THREE Davids. It is a battle of the epic variety to keep my house in a state that I would describe as "not humiliating if company showed up". Seriously, don't show up unnanounced at a house where...read more...

Ill Will | Moms Miami

Ill Will

I just filled out my paperwork for my fourth of five sick days allotted to me in the fiscal year. Our fiscal year runs from October 1 to September 30. What about vacation days? We have to earn those. We earn just a little under one day a month and in the event of a layoff for instance, I would get docked for any vacation time that has been used but unearned. I'm currently in deficet because I took two days to enjoy Atlantis at...read more...

How my keys spent the night outside | Moms Miami

How my keys spent the night outside

Some times, you get so beat down tired you don't even realize it. You think that you're bumping along and that things are good enough. Then, your Mom shows up at your door to pick up the kids in the morning but instead of the usual knock, you hear something funny. When you walk down the hall to open the door, it's unlocked but the door guard on top is in place although slightly ajar. When you pull the door open, your mom...read more...

Thank You | Moms Miami

Thank You

Today, I'm really grateful... The Dolphins swept the Jets this year. WOO HOO! My best friend & I did Halloween up in Las Olas this year. We had a great time. Getting a hotel right close by was a huge stroke of genius. So I'm also grateful to the co-worker who recommended it to me. For my cousin who I partied with all weekend. I love her. She's like a walking ray of sunshine. You know how there are energy...read more...

Dating 101-- The Concept of Kids | Moms Miami

Dating 101-- The Concept of Kids

My husband and I separated about four months ago, but it's really only been this past month that I've been going out. It’s been a strange month. Early on, I was talking with some people I’d met and conversation got personal. I found myself telling my story to perfect strangers for the very first time. And what a bizarre experience it was. I’m used to seeing people’s faces distort when they hear I have...read more...

Can't Forget to be Grateful | Moms Miami

Can't Forget to be Grateful

This post almost didn't happen. I've been in a horrible zombie mode today which I mostly blame on the terrible sleep I got last night (woken up twice, quite solidly). But also, I just didn't think it was interesting to anyone but me. Now that I'm home, and it's quietish, and I'm wrapping up some things, I think maybe I should post them. You see, it's on days like today where I feel more useless than...read more...

Cool Female Characters-- Where are you?

Ana's Princess Ring blog has really got my super cute panties in a bunch. Moms, we need to do something. I have a three year old girl. Of course, she loves princesses. And, because her favorite one is Princess Jasmine, I try and enjoy it. But, I have to be honest with you-- there is something in the back of my head that just nags at me wondering, is this really ok? Let's play a game. I say a word and you jot down the...read more...

Tick Off Tuesday | Moms Miami

Tick Off Tuesday

Time to review the list I started last week and see what I got done and what needs to be added. To Do 1. Halloween: Mario's costume needs to be settled. I'm leaning more and more to the jedi one. 2. Halloween: For my costume, compare prices on Wonder Woman . Check E-bay for boots . I really don’t want to spend more than $65 on the whole thing. Even that seems high. Make a decision by the 15 th ....read more...

Lots of things to think about as I plunge through the first day of a new work week. I'm grateful... 1. For my best friend who has suddenly popped out of her shell and taking me with her. We are definitely enjoying life. 2. For Rocktoberfest. $25 to charity. Free beer. Cool people. We had an EXCELLENT time. 3. For my bed which is so comfortable and yummy after an adventurous weekend. 4. My "baby daddy" isn't a...read more...

Take Me Away | Moms Miami

Take Me Away

Ay Thursday. You're messing with me viciously today. I keep fantasizing about what I'm going to do "tonight" and "tomorrow" to then realize I'm not at the weekend yet. Thursday, you tease! These last few hours of the work day are the absolute worst for me. My brain is in a post-lunch sludge and the clock is crawling. I pretty much thank the heavens every day for my Zune. I have that thing...read more...

As a matter of fact, I am getting ready to make a huge gamble by the end of the year and will indeed have to back up a few...read more...

Get it Done- A MidList | Moms Miami

Get it Done- A MidList

I've been working on that big ol' Uberlist of mine and in doing so, I'm coming up with lots of stuff to do right now and not so much next year. And so I found I have compiled not so much an UBER list but a mid-size list so to speak. Some of the things are really small and immediate while others I have a little bit more time on. I figure I might do this on a weekly basis and make Tuesdays my Tick Off Day (as in tick off...read more...

It's Monday which can be a bit of a downer especially if you had an extra nice weekend maybe or are coming back from vacation for instance (even if said vacation is really you holed up in a house with three flu-ridden children for the better part of a week). So, what better day is there to sit down and count your blessings? I am grateful... 1. All three kids are flu-free! 2. I have a job that pays me enough money to pay...read more...

What to do? | Moms Miami

What to do?

The kids' father just picked them up and took them to his parents' house for the day. Whenever these things happen, I sort of breakdown into this useless mode of what to do? The first thing I did was worked out a little bit- some pullups, arms, and ab work. But now, I have to decide on the remaining 5 hours of non-childness. I have to go to the grocery store. It's a must. I am dying to lay out poolside. I...read more...

Money Blowing List | Moms Miami

Money Blowing List

While following the blog chain today, I came across this post by Dumb Little Man . He and his wife made lists on ways they blow money, combined the list, and came up with 25 things they would focus on to save money. It seems I am quite a fan of lists even though I rarely maintain them. Perhaps this will become the life of this blog-- the lists I always thought about making but never did! I am always one for having a little extra...read more...

Uberlist 2010- Prep | Moms Miami

Uberlist 2010- Prep

A few years ago, I found in one of the many blogs I perused, The Uberlist. The Uberlist is the brainchild of Nikol Lohr (craft goddess extraordinaire). Back in 2001 (that's the oldest I can find), she put up a list of 100 things to do plus 1 for the fact that it was the first year of the new millenia. And so it went, and she made a new list every year until she finally retired her website, Disgruntled Housewife . Now, I did...read more...
