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!

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...

Sleep is for the Child-Free
June 27, 2011
Allow me to present to you an image more frightening than any scary movie: Oh yes. It is a teenager with a CAR. And it gets worse. Shortly after this photo was taken, this teenager proceeded to get inside this car and drive it. HORRORS! I have to admit that I laugh bitterly when I read the online complaints of parents who whine and moan about the sleepless nights they're enduring at the hands...
