Moms CAN Have LONG HAIR!

We went on location to a salon to help find out good style information for moms. We want to look great, even SEXY, but we DON'T want to look matronly, right? So the first of 3 episodes (you can watch at http://www.lipsticknlaundry.com/) is up and we talked with Salon 120 owner Debbie McNeely to see if just because you're a mom, can you have long hair, and the answer was a resounding YES. But HERE'S the tip I want to share: I didn't know this, (you might have), but you can use a flat iron to CU… Continue

Diary of an 8th Grade Field Trip Chaperone!

Well, it is yet another adventure with the stinky, pubescent, 8th graders of my son Max's school. WOW, I saw more unpopped pimples, greasy long hair, and pushup bras's than I ever want to see again. When you sit on a bus for a 40 minute drive somewhere you learn so much. Our stroll took us to the County Courthouse and we learned about Dred and Helen Scott and how they were one of the first to want to buy their freedom from slavery. This was so interesting to me, I learned so much history, it was… Continue

Are We Teaching Our Kids Not To "Feel"?

Today I got back into my running again, and oh! Have I missed it! I don't run necessarily so I can get away with eating brownies and carbs (though that is a plus). I run because that's when I am alone with myself the best. When I can really "feel". And as I was running today, I thought about that. That need to "feel" deep down inside. It made me think: are we, not just as parents, but as a society, squelching our kids (and our own!) "feelings"? Think about it, we have medications for every kind… Continue

Going Green Economically and Conveniently

"Twas' The Day After Christmas".....

By: David Frank 'Twas the day after Christmas and all through the house Children sat slack-jawed, bored on the couch. Wrappings and toys littered the floor, An incredible mess that I did abhor. With Mom in her robe and I in my jeans, We waded in to get the place clean. When suddenly the doorbell: it started to clatter, I sprang to the Security-View to check out the matter. The new-fallen snow, now blackened with soot, Was trampled and icy and treacherous to foot. But suddenly in view, did… Continue

What Would We Do Without Our "Sisterhood"?

I feel so lucky and blessed as I write this. Not only do I have a really supportive and amazing husband, and two beautiful kids that make all the tough times being a mom, sooooo worth it, but I have my friends. My support group of women, some moms, some not, all very different. They are my "Sisterhood". What would we do without them? One of my very good friends, Kate (who I happen to do the video podcast show www.lipsticknlaundry.com with) was with me when I discovered less than two years ago t… Continue
