I had no idea these shoes were so polarizing—some people love them, others seem to hate them with a passion so fierce I find myself scratching my head. So, what’s the deal? Are you pro or against?

Tomorrow is National Coffee Day. In honor of this major holiday, I thought I’d take an informal poll to see where I fall on the mom caffeine spectrum (she said, sipping a giant steaming Styrofoam cup from Dunkin Donuts).

There is a small change I could make in my daily routine that would result in a calmer, happier, more productive and smoother-running day (and probably life) for everyone in the house and yet I refuse. Can you guess what it is?

I just got back from a glorious weekend at The University of Tennessee, my alma mater, where, among other shenanigans, we whooped it up at the UT/Florida football game. But watching the players smash the $&*! out of each other got me thinking about my own littler player and whether I'd ever want to see him out there. I'm not so sure I would.
