Thanks Crayola paints. I appreciate it. For more Wordless Wednesdays/Wordful Wednesdays, please visit 5 Minutes For Mom, and WordlessWednesday.com {HQ} 1. Katie [...]

Yes, I am talking to YOU, Idiot Parents. The parents that raise ill-mannered, spoiled rotten, entitled children to be whiny, can’t live in the real world, me-me-me adults. Yes. I said it. You and your disrespectful children is what’s wrong with this country today. I am sick to death of seeing children who have no [...]
If you’re a blogger, you will get spam comments. However, it seems to be more prevalent for blogs hosted on WordPress. Probably because of the great SEO capabilities and higher visibility of self-hosted WP sites. Yet another reason you should hire me to migrate your Blogger blog to WP. Just sayin’. Every once in a [...]
The Diva got her first kiss. From a boy. At school, on Wednesday. He kissed her on the nose. He’s five. Ro is is 5 3/4. She says she doesn’t really like him. The kiss happened after they complimented each other’s school pictures. After Mrs. M told us what happened, his mother looked at me [...]
I believe I did a post about this, right about this same time last year. In fact, I know I did. Apparently Mother Nature does not want to cure her severe PMS and would rather torture the poor souls who live on this Earth. So nice of her, eh? The last couple of weeks have [...]
Yes, The Free Range Stupid™ DO exist. And they’re everywhere. They seem to gravitate towards me. A couple of days ago, I got this message via FaceBook from someone I don’t even know: Subject: Regarding a post on RS’ page… Hi, I am a Rick Springfield fan, and I was reading some old posts. I [...]
I went to a party and… I finally met one of my bloggy friends in person. If you don’t know who this is….let me give you a virtual head slap…it’s Kadi Prescott from Womb At The Inn(Sane) and Girly Gazette! Hers was the first blog I ever started reading regularly when I started out back [...]
A couple years back, I made The Diva a homemade LadyBug costume. I had actually seen it on the Martha Stewart Show and because she needed two costumes that year (One for a party that she could trash & one for actual trick or treating), I decided to try it. The original costume was made [...]

Amazon, Target and Sears are hoping to get you to start your shopping early by holding this sale. So if you are one of those ubër organized people who likes to get things [...]
That’s right, Dish Network are a bunch of thieves who only care about getting money, any way they can. Last Friday night, they stole $266 from me. But their “system” actually tried to take 4 times that amount out of my checking account. That is over $1100!! I fully expect my service to be shut [...]
It’s been a while since I posted. I’ve been busy. Doing what, you ask? Why making some lovely clients happy with their brand new shiny WordPress Blogs and custom blog designs. Shan’s Shreds Designs is taking off and I find that I need an assistant, a maid, a chauffeur, a cook and a clone of [...]

It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. The ones where I announce to the world the crazy things that come out of my amazing daughter’s mouth. But she has said some things lately that made me {and whoever I may be on the phone with at the time}, spit out whatever [...]
This Is Why I Had To Be Offline Friday and most of Saturday… We had severe and very loud thunder and lightning storms from Thursday night through Friday. Our power went out twice. Once while I was on the phone with My Boo. It was a little freaky. The thunder scared The Diva. The lightning, [...]

Most of the country is already at the end of Summer and the beginning of Autumn and the Holiday Season, but here in SoCal, that is not the case. September is usually our hottest month {Along with May, June, July, August & sometimes October…}, but for whatever reason, this Summer has been odd. I have [...]
Today I am starting a new meme, Music That reminds Me Of… {insert season/holiday/special occasion here} We are starting off with Autumn, because it is one of my two favorite seasons. Oh, yeah, and today is the official first day of Autumn. So that was rather serendipitous, wasn’t it? Music is oftentimes a very visceral [...]
