I declare this year the year of the onesy! Footie and full-body pajamas are back, people, and you can try to deny them but you’re only depriving yourself! Do you remember my big bad Marine brother-in-law who went off to Afghanistan last year, for whom I solicited many a thought and prayer from you over? I give you exhibit A. Full [...]
I have voices and they talk to me. They sit in the balcony in my head like the old guys in The Muppets and they tell me whether or not I should or shouldn’t do something and they make me question myself. They give me fear. Here’s how the conversation in my head might go: Little voice (laughing, usually, and [...]
I met Attune Foods at Fitbloggin last year when they hosted one of the breakfasts with Uncle Sam’s Cereal, which I fell in love with. In fact, I came home with so many boxes of it (they were giving it away and I was selfish) that the taxi driver at the airport thought I was a cereal rep. I could’ve [...]
The Miami ING Marathon is this weekend. Remember the one I’m not running? I mean, remember the one that I actually got sponsored for by Girlz N Gear that I’m not running? Well the good news is, I can still pick up my packet. I just won’t be picking up any medal. I only sound bitter when I write about it [...]
Be still my beating heart my 5 year old already cares what other people think of him. Just thinking about him worrying about the people who can be trolls hurts my heart so badly and makes me want to run for the bubble wrap. I used baggies with hearts on it this morning. We ran out of the others. In [...]

I have made fish tacos four times in the past two weeks and I have failed to take a picture each and every time! Every time I make these, I devour them so fast and then vow to take a picture the next time and so I make them again with the dual purpose of eating them and of course taking a [...]

There is a great story behind Grave Digger that as a mom to two boys who LOVE dirt and monster trucks (particularly Grave Digger) and trucks and smashing things, I now feel privileged to know. I got a chance to talk to driver and creator of the legendary monster truck, Dennis Anderson, while he was in town for Tampa’s Monster Jam. [...]
I’m doing some blog housekeeping today so you might see that it’s a little on the messy side. It’s one thing when you get to clean up and organize within the confines of your own home. It’s a whole nother story when your cleaning and organizing is out in the open for everyone lookin in and seeing your bidniz. You can [...]
Here’s the deal. There is only one thing worse than being in the presence of a giant spider and that’s walking into its web first. Gah. More than anything in the entire world, I hate spiders. It is half the reason I got married. So I wouldn’t have to kill them. Only thing is, I married someone who is [...]
Welcome to my first video post for my training for the Miami ING Marathon sponsored by Girlz N Gear! It’s short and sweet and gets sort of into the details and there’s a surprise ending. I’m working on perfecting the “Dance Out.” Perhaps by the time I run the marathon I will have. Anyway, it’s only a minute long, [...]

I don’t know how those Monster Jam guys do it. I rode in a monster truck today, well on top of it really, and we didn’t go fast. We didn’t even do any jumps or swirls in the dirt and we certainly didn’t crush any cars, yet I had brief moments of heart palpitations and that stomach bottoming out feeling [...]
Girlie movie time! Grab the girls or the husband for date night, Katherine Heigl’s new film “One for the Money” comes out next Friday (January 27) and it looks pretty funny!

In case you missed it, I got a chance to talk to Paige [...]

Last night to defuse a rising tantrum from my over-tired 5-year-old, I paused and said, “Do you know who I got to talk to on the phone with this afternoon?” And he said, “Who?” I said, “‘Belle’. From Beauty and the Beast. Isn’t that cool?” And I went on to tell him the (somewhat completely made-up fairytale) story of how [...]
We are doing things different this month! Here at Average Moms Wear Capes, we recognize, well, the average mom. Because average moms are super heroes every day. Each month I recognize an awesome mom for her amazing ability to grab something out of her giant purse holster in 1.2 seconds, to defuse a tantrum and juggle 1.5 million things under [...]
Hooray! Busch Gardens is doing it again, hooray! For a limited time, you can get free passes to Busch Gardens for your preschoolers, kids ages 5 and under.
