• Mystery Auction for a Tween Birthday Party

  by Morgan M March 28
  We had The Girl's 11th birthday party a few weeks ago, and when it comes to the Tween age group,planning a party can be quite difficult. They are getting to the age of having a boy/girl party, too old for activities like pin the tail on the donkey or a pinata, too young for not having any activities...

• Most Likely to Succeed... Maybe?

  by Morgan M February 20
  Isn't it crazy how the littlest things can spark some hugely sobering moments in your life? Sometimes good, sometimes bad, almost always have you staring at a wall for goodness knows how long with a blank look on your face while your mind runs 100 mph.Yeah, I had that moment the other day. A person ...

• 17 First World Problems for Moms

  by Morgan M February 11
  PLEASE tell me you have heard of First World Problems. In a nutshell, they are the "problems" that we privileged people bitch about- and by privileged, I'm not necessarily talking the people who make more than 6 figures a year and have a maid. Privileged is meant more to describe...

• A Mother's Greatest Fear

  by Morgan M January 29
  For the last few days, I've been trying to figure out whether or not to write about what's recently occurred in my family's lives. It's a very hard subject for me to write about, but if this post can help out just one family, then it was worth it. Please understand that today's post is nothing to jo...

• Don't Count Your Chickens... Um, I Mean Coffee Mugs...

  by Morgan M January 15
  It never fails. I get something to brag about, something to savor all my own, and it never lasts long. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the hell out of it while I can, I just wish this stuff would stick around. Amazing dinner. ---> Hubby has gas all night, which he freely shares with everyone. Kid...

• Where Did the TV Innocence Go?

  by Morgan M January 2
  The Girl and I decided to find a TV show on Netflix to watch while the kids are on break from school (FYI, my kids don't go back until January 7th... yes, the 7th!). We had a few set aside on the instant queue, and finally decided on The Secret Circle. Basic plot of the TV show is that a g...

  This morning is my kids' Christmas show at school. Both of them have been practicing songs for the last few weeks, and I'm excited to see them perform.   There's one thing that stays in the back of my head with this program, though.Back in October, the kids' school had a Fall Festival. I...

• Tatted Mom's Elf on a Shelf (Sick Little Effer)

  by Morgan M December 3, 2012
  We were sent one of those Elf on a Shelf things this year by a family member. Prior to this year, I couldn't stand those damn things. I'd see people post pictures on facebook of their Elf spilling flour while they were baking, or being covered in soap bubbles. How adorable, right? Barf... Apparentl...

  by Morgan M November 19, 2012
  So, the biggest news of the last week or so has not been how the President will stay another 4 years in office. Nope.After 82 years in business, Hostess has closed its doors. No more Wonder Bread, no more Ding Dongs, no more Twinkies... well, maybe.Let's think about this logically, Inklingers. You ...

While I may be a little behind in the times, it's well worth the wait, because now you ladies get a review of the movie, Tatted Mom Style. Let's start with the plot of the movie.

  Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. Each year as it approaches, I find myself getting more excited, happy and more creative as Halloween crafts and costume ideas come to mind.I also find myself getting more annoyed by people who don't understand the holiday. The topic has come up several time...

• 5 Things Stay at Home Moms Do Not Sign On For

  by Morgan M September 25, 2012
  About 3 months ago I became a stay at home mom again. I've been one before. Heck, I've been everything before- a working mom, a single mom, a single working mom, a stay at home mom, a work from home mom, a mom who took her kids to work with her; I'm pretty sure I've been in almost every angle of the...
