  • Everything But a Bitch

    I always thought my grandmother was such a bitch.

    She looked like Elizabeth Taylor and smoked Eves, drank a full glass of white milk at every meal and was appalled when I wouldn't touch the stuff. She was a hot headed Republican with an opinion on everything and her' [...]
  • Catch Up and the Return of Ambrosia

    Number of comments: 8
    OK, so I guess I haven't written in a while because someone mentioned it on Twitter (I am Twitter impaired) and one person wrote me an email about it.

    I just had a busy month is all. My in-laws came for ten days and it was Baby Lawns' second [...]
  • A Toddler Food Diary

    Number of comments: 10
    Baby Lawns is going to be two next week and, well, boy is she ever two already. Toddlers are weird. I don't even know where to start on that one. It seems like the essence of being two is to act like you want something more than life itself, to' [...]

    Right Now - OOH, I'm so excited for the debate tonight! I'm going to make popcorn and a root beer and I'm going to watch it! Yeah!

    Every stinking time I think I've seen it all when it comes to disgusting food, something comes along to top it. This weekend has been a nasty assed Bacchanalia on my Pinterest and facebook. It all started with my sister finding this recipe for beef tips cooked in a' [...]

    In two days my blog will be seven. It would be in first grade if it were a kid. I started this blog before I even got married, before I started grad school. I was just a girl who worked at a country club who wanted to share the unbelievably [...]
  • More Yoga Shenanigans

    This story, luckily, didn't happen to me, but I had to share it anyway. I'm kind of amazed, but nothing weird has happened to me in yoga in a while, except that one day last week I perfected the pose known as "don'tcrapyourpantsinclassana." It's a really difficult move, let me' [...]
  • The Wide Lawns Fashion Blog

    Number of comments: 10
    If you actually know me, you're laughing hysterically at the title of this post because you know I'd never start a fashion blog. The very idea of me with a fashion blog is outrageous because I have no sense of style at all. None. 

    When I worked I wore [...]
  • A Scary Story

    Number of comments: 7
    It's October and that means my favorite time of year has officially started. It's the Halloween season. It's time for scary stuff and pumpkin everything, so I thought I'd start the month off right with a terrifying story of a possessed toy.

    Anyone who's ever seen Poltergeist (pretty much' [...]
  • The War on Naps

    Number of comments: 8
    So the little Lawns has declared war on naps as of late, and all week she hasn't gone down in the afternoons AT ALL. This has been really hard because that's my writing time, which means no blogging, no working on book writing, no nothing and that aggravates me. Right [...]
