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!

Make a Joyful Noise for This New Movie!
January 5, 2012
Dolly Parton and Queen Latifah co-starring in a movie is big news, especially here in Nashville where Dolly is practically royalty. That's why I was excited to check out the trailer for Joyful Noise, a feel-good movie starring the two singing powerhouses that's guaranteed to give Glee fans their singing and dancing fix-this time on the big screen. The film centers around the small town of Pacashau, Georgia which...

Standard School Attire: A Primer
September 9, 2011
Two years ago, I enrolled my daughter in our public school system, which requires Standard School Attire. This bane of my existence means that all students must wear khaki, navy or black bottoms and solid, collared tops in five pre-chosen colors. Ew. Especially when you have an adorable grade schooler who DESERVES to be dressed in adorable flowered dresses each day. EW. However, I had no choice but to accept the dress...

How to Succeed in Business When You’re a Mom
September 1, 2011
If there's one thing I've learned about you all over the years, it's that, like me, most of you have dreams that extend far beyond your circumstances. Some of you want to write a book. Some want to launch a business. Some want to find a job that lets you stay home with your children. Some want a career that makes you feel like you're more than a mom. I believe that all of us have ideas swirling inside our brains on how we could...

What Not To Say Before Interviewing a Celebrity
August 30, 2011
When I was at BlogHer '11 a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to meet and interview Wendi McLendon-Covey. You might recognize her as one of the co-stars of Bridesmaids or as the star of the latest round of Hillshire Farm commercials that have been all over the airwaves lately. Wendi is also co-starring in the upcoming movie What to Expect with Jennifer Lopez. In other words, she's famous. Very, very famous. And...

What I Learned About MinuteClinic (VIDEO)
August 22, 2011
When my kids get sick, I'm on the phone with their pediatrician's office in minutes. When I get sick, though, I rarely schedule a doctor's appointment for myself. It's embarrassing to admit that this is the case, but I'm sure you moms out there understand. My worst nightmare is taking my kids with me while I'm sick all the way across town to my doctor's office so that I can get checked out. And generally, that's...

A Must-Do at BlogHer
August 3, 2011
This post was sponsored by Hillshire Farm. I have to admit, one of my favorite parts of BlogHer has always been the Expo Hall. I know I'm supposed to be all eye-rolly about the swag, but y'all. It's like Christmas when I come home from BlogHer and my family absolutely LOVES IT. I've always got something for everyone when I come home from BlogHer, and that helps me to justify going back the next year. Trust me when...

A Win-Win-Win-Win-Win Scenario
July 28, 2011
This post was sponsored by Hillshire Farm. It's probably pretty obvious by now to most of you that I love to cook. But it wasn't always that way. The story I tell everyone is that I learned to cook for my husband. His mother is a legendary cook, I explain, and I didn't want him to suffer from my absolute lack of cooking skills. So I learned to do it myself. Over time, I learned to do it quite well. And that's all true. Sort...

How to Stress Less When Driving with Kids
July 25, 2011
This post was sponsored by AllState. As you may have deduced from reading today's post, I'm a little on the nervous side when it comes to being on the road. I wasn't always this way, but having kids, as they say, changes everything. When it was just me in a car, I didn't worry so much about getting in an accident. Or ending up with a flat tire on a dark road in the middle of the night. Or burned-out brakes. Or a dead...

How My Family Got Healthy
July 21, 2011
This post was sponsored by Hillshire Farm. When I was single, losing a few pounds and keeping them off was no problem. I simply replaced any junk food in my pantry with healthier options, scheduled a little more time at the gym and the rest took care of itself. Now that I'm a mom, though, I have to be wayyyyyy more creative. I suppose some moms are able to change their own diet and exercise without the rest of the family...
