Today was the first day of my new part-time work schedule. Meaning that I was home and nanny-free. It's hard to believe that after year (years!) of wishing for this change, the day finally came. And you would think that I would have been perfectly prepared for it, but alas, ...

Today was a big day for the Fergie household. Not only was Chatterbox entering First Grade, but she was going to...TAKE.THE.SCHOOLBUS. There is just something so drastic about putting your first-born on the bus for the first time; maybe it's the lack of control you have, or the degree of ...

This morning, in a fit of optimism, I decided to throw some workout clothes in my lovely Blissdom '10 bag and tote it with me to work.
"I'm gonna jog today during my lunch break!" I announced to Hubby.
"Mmmm hmmm," he said while trying to stifle a laugh.

Chatterbox lost her first tooth last week! It was a big deal in our house. It was loose for a loooong time and she even asked Hubby to try to pull it out {before it was really ready} and that didn't go over so well! It eventually fell out on ...

I had my very first "wait until you're a mom" moment this weekend. Princess, who's a little dainty at times, but rough and tough at other times fell at school on Friday. Unlike all her other falls, this time she got a big nasty open scar just below her elbow.Of ...

I'm annoyed with children's consignment shops. Especially those that market themselves as "boutiques" or specializing in "upscale children's clothing." This is the third time that I spent an afternoon carefully selecting clothes from my children's closets that I could consign or sell and while doing so, making sure that the ...

We're about to have our first play-date with a classmate from school. You ask how we've managed to avoid this - I really don't know. But, it feels so completely different than when my girlfriends visit. I don't even know the parent involved (Hubby set it up) and I feel ...

Ok, I've been stalling...but since I have run out of reasons to keep stalling, it's time for me to let the world know that I've started a new blog! It's called Just Fergie, and is aptly named because, well, it's just me. I'm still very much blogging at MamaLaw so ...

I went to the Victoria's Secret semi annual sale as I usually do to stock up on underwear etc. I bought for the first time thigh high panty-hose - not the ones that you wear with a garter, the other ones. Anyway, I figured that I would start bringing sexy ...
