Hi! I'm Lindsay Ferrier. I'm a wife, a stepmom to two college girls and a mom to 4 and 7yo's. I'm deeply flawed, often insecure, at times defensive, snarky on Tuesdays, and I put my foot in my mouth on a regular basis. Let's be friends!

Extreme Bedroom Makeover: The Big Reveal!
May 18, 2013
If you follow this blog, you know that Disney Paint offered me the opportunity to repaint Bruiser's room using its new paint collection and write a few sponsored posts about the experience. In prior posts, I told you about choosing from the many cool options available in the Disney Paint section at Walmart, and then I showed you the painting process. Well, now it's time for the big reveal... I LOVE IT. I...

My Trip to Mom 2.0
May 11, 2013
This post was sponsored by CVS MinuteClinic. Last weekend, I went to Mom 2.0 thanks to a generous sponsorship from CVS MinuteClinic. Mom 2.0 took place this year at the Laguna Beach Ritz-Carlton. I know, I know. Rough life. I have been to Laguna Beach before and knew it was going to be nice. But I had no idea just how nice it truly was. This is the hotel. This is the view from the hotel. Those little...

Extreme Makeover, Bruiser Edition is Now in Progress!
April 22, 2013
As you might remember, Mom Trends offered me the opportunity to try out the new Glidden Disney Paint collection and write a few sponsored posts about the experience. Since redecorating Bruiser’s room has been on my (very long, very expensive) list of things I want to do in our house, I said yes. Specifically, I said, "Are you kidding?! Omg. Yes! YES YES YES YES YES." The Disney Paint collection (which is available...

Lands’ End for Boys
April 21, 2013
Lands' End provided me with a boys' shirt and shorts to facilitate this review. My opinions are my own. Every time I think I couldn’t love Lands’ End any more, I'm proven wrong. As regular readers know, Lands’ End and I go waaaay back. A few times a year, I get to try something from one of Lands’ End’s seasonal collections, and when I think back on it now, all of those things have ended up being some of my family’s...

The Ick-tionary Comes to Nashville!
April 13, 2013
This post is sponsored by Clorox. I've told you about the new Clorox Ick-tionary, a wiki-style online dictionary that contains words created by parents (including me!) about the messes and spills we encounter on an all-too-frequent basis. What I haven't told you about yet is this: This is the Clorox Ick-tionary truck, a crazy, glass-walled truck that made a stop in Nashville a few days ago to promote the new Ick-tionary...

Enjoying Dollywood with Small Children
April 12, 2013
If you live anywhere within driving distance of the Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee, your life really isn't complete without a trip to Dollywood. Oh yes. I said it. And I stand behind it. As a kid, I spent a month with my grandparents in Knoxville each summer. Since my grandfather was unofficially Dolly Parton's Biggest Fan, annual pilgrimages to the 'Wood were inevitable. Back then, it was one of my favorite...

Cleaning Up Just Got a Little Bit… FUNNY
April 10, 2013
This post was sponsored by Clorox. Motherhood is awesome. Usually. There are definitely some not-so-fun aspects of being a mom, and the worst one, in my opinion, is the constant cleaning up of messes. And I do mean CONSTANT. I spend waaaaay too much time every day scrubbing and washing and spraying and wiping and scraping and picking up and folding and ... well, you get the picture. It is a joyless experience...

Extreme Makeover: Bruiser’s Bedroom Edition
April 6, 2013
We've now lived in our house for ten years and are in the process of updating pretty much everything. Last year, we got a new roof, a new HVAC, and we repainted our outdoor shutters and trim. This year, we're repainting nearly all the rooms in our house, including Bruiser's room. He's six now and ready for something different from the baby blue his older sister chose for the room a decade ago. That's why I was excited...

My Go-To Holiday Gift Idea: A Hickory Farms Basket
December 18, 2012
If you're still in need of a last-minute gift, or if you need something to bring to that holiday family dinner, might I humbly suggest that you consider picking up a few things from Hickory Farms? As y'all well know, I don't tend to review or give away products unless I am already using them (why waste my time on stuff I might hate?), and Hickory Farms is no exception. I have ordered holiday gift baskets from Hickory...

VTech InnoTab 2S: It’s Like an iPad For Your Preschooler!
December 18, 2012
My five-year-old son is entranced by our iPhones and all of the game apps that can be downloaded on them. But there's a big problem- We need our iPhones for work, and they don't do very well in the hands of a sticky-fingered kindergartener. Thank God for the VTech InnoTab 2S, which is basically an iPad for the preschool and early elementary school-aged set. The InnoTab has a touchscreen and apps that look...
