I’m sure you’ve seen lots of “we’re on the meal planning bandwagon” stuff on social media. When I first saw all of these Pinteresty charts, graphs, checklists and binders to aid families in doing something as simple as deciding what to have for dinner, I kind of rolled my eyes because how hard is it…
I hate my muffin top. Don’t give me some sappy line about the top being the best part of the muffin. I hate that little roll that reminds me that I’m probably being stubborn and I might need to go a size up in my jeans…that little extra piece of flesh that is evidence that…
One of my sharpest memories of motherhood and adoption was the day I realized we were “those people.” I have so many memories of being a mom. I kind of want to call them momaries but that sounds like mammaries and this isn’t a post about boobs. And why do we always have to feel…
This post was sponsored by Collective Bias and it’s advertiser. All opinions are my own. I wrote this post as we were preparing to ring in the Year of the Monkey but I’m re-sharing it again in celebration of the upcoming lunar new year. Because dumplings are awesome. Are you ready for the Year of…
Readers! I have a guest post on my blog today and I’m really excited to welcome (back!) Rachel Garlinghouse.

…like I could ever have just one word. As if. And if you’re new here, I’m one wordy bitch. Consider that your welcome. I’m serving mint juleps on the veranda…come on down, y’all. Actually…I don’t have a veranda and I don’t own any bourbon, but if you’re ever in Texas, hit me up and I’ll…
Ripped Jeans and Bifocals will never become a fitness blog. You will not see pictures of me in spandex showing off my yoga poses or posts about my awesome new recipe for kale and spinach smoothies. Because no one needs to see that, ever and ew…spinach and kale. But bear with me for a second….
For you new linker-uppers: I’m excited you’re here. If you’ve come here to linkup your #AdoptionTalk post, you’ll add your link to the very end of this post…reads, comments and shares while you’re here are super awesome and I can’t wait to visit you, too! I am really excited to be going in to…
Are you relieved to see 2015 go or excited to see what 2016 is going to bring you? I think I’m a little bit of both. 2015 brought intense highs and crushing lows, a lot of stress, and a lot of honesty. If I had to pick a word that represents what I want 2016…
My favorite teen mom is making the news again. This summer, I wrote a post about the ridiculousness of the amount of money Farrah Abraham’s kid scored for a lost tooth. Six hundred bucks. I get that this amount of money is chump change for a celebrity, and yes, I cringe at calling Farrah a…
