RIP Common Sense: A Mother's Free Piece of Advice to the Campaign of 2012

What happens when common sense isn’t so common? As I mentioned in a blog months ago, Stop It Right Now, Or I’m Pulling Over, I do not like to discuss politics on this site as the subject matter is just so frustrating.  But I realized that today, as I type this, it is nine months before the next presidential election.  Wow.  This is going to be one bad pregnancy.  Read more >

Sleep. Now There's a Thought. Or Two.

 I find it fascinating that my husband can sink into bed each evening and fall to sleep between the words “good” and “night.”  How I wish it were that easy for me.  Every night, it’s the same routine: I struggle to get comfortable, shift  positions and continually fluff my pillow so much that I’m surprised it doesn’t beg for mercy.  While I toss and turn thinking about what I did that day, what I need to do tomorrow and if there is a clean towel in the bathroom for my morning shower, I marvel that my spouse has safely entered REM.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a mother of three teenagers and my motto is: Everything to Everyone and Exhausted.  My site, From the Mudroom, has been described as "a blog with a sense of humor."  I cover stories that hopefully connect with most mothers, and include "Better than Therapy Book Club," "Mommy's Little Helper" (the best little happy hour drink recipes that will reward you after a long day) and "Tip of the Week."  

My blog has created a position for me at our local newspaper where I am now a monthly columnist.  I'm ready to see where this adventure takes me.
