Because I’m a Momma, and I’ve got enough to worry about. So bite me you stupid “world-is-ending-movies”, and pass the [...]

Spot the Difference? Evidently, I gave birth to not one, but two working mannequins. Awesome.

I FINALLY Appreciate the Star Wars Trilogy

by MARIA on July 5, 2010

I saw these and I knew I had to do it for my Star Wars obsessed 6 year old. I stayed up late to make my little man into his favorite character. I have to admit I get such a kick out of watching these – they are hilarious, and the kids’ reactions to them [...]
