Helping Mommy Out

My mother has been telling me ever since Aerin was born that the best way I will survive the next two decades is by getting both girls to help me out as soon, and as often as possible. Obviously this is still an unreasonable request to ask of Aerin, but now that Claire is walking — and growing more curious and precocious with each passing day — we have slowly begun to teach her little ways to help around the house, and with her little sister.

This Is How You Look When You’re Drunk

We look SO young here! Our bodies may have aged, but we still love each other with achildlike giddiness. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Thank you for all that you are and all that you do. May all your wishes come true, and more. :-)...

Bloggy Thursdays: Backing Up Your Blog

Welcome to this installment of Bloggy Thursdays, where I share with my fellow bloggers tips and tutorials to maximize and better your blog. While I do not consider myself an expert, I do like to think that after 10+ years of blogging — in addition to my technical knowledge — I know more than the average blogger when it comes to making your blog more appealing to readers.

I have stated in an old WordPress Plugins post that I use WP-DBManager to backup my blog. Well, times change and so do preferences. My current backup plugin of choice is BackWPup, which,...
