We’ve got a TOTALLY KimmyTastic Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Giveaway to celebrate Season 2!

April 13, 2016 by Melissa Chapman 91 Comments

Congrats to our winner Heather S. I fell in love with Kimmy Schmidt and her completely dysfunctional friends the minute I laid my eyes on them. Her sense of wonder and her optimistic belief that there is so much good in the world is infectious and each time I watch an episode I find myself grinning from ear to ear so much so that my cheeks ache!

Things Your Teen Will Say That Will Make You Cringe (and Maybe Cry Just a lil Bit)

April 6, 2016 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

It's been a rough couple of days. Last Thursday night my 14 year old daughter  texted me that she was inviting "a few of her track friends over to bake some cookies to raise money for her team." Since she has made it clear that I don't do enough entertaining and that our house is filled with stuffed animals and she wants me to completely renovate everything and she will NEVER have a cluttered … [Read more...]

Suffice it … [Read more...]

You know the kind where you get together with your once or twice a year relatives- more as a compulsory act than one borne out of a mutual friendship or common interests. I get it; there are certain traditions we feel compelled to uphold primarily because Hallmark and other companies have effectively created compelling commercial … [Read more...]

Family Confessions: When Kids and Parents Get Caught in Lies! #StreamTeam

Let’s face it, we all lie. White lies make life easier for us parents i.e. when I just don't feel like leaving the house on a Sunday morning I've been known to fib a lil white lie like; the store is closed today, I spoke to the owner and she told me they were closing today. Or to make my kids happy I might have stretched the truth just a teeny tiny bit with a little white lie like; i.e. I promise … [Read more...]
