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!

WIN the Press Here Bestselling Book AND Ingenious Kids’ Phone App!
May 5, 2012
One of the things I most love about my iPhone is its ability to keep my kids entertained during "emergency situations." Waiting for a doctor's appointment? Time for an episode of Tom & Jerry on YouTube! Sitting in the car rider pick-up line? How about singing along with a few kids songs from my iTunes account? It can be tough, though, to find apps that are suitable for small children and worth the price that you're...

Win a $50 VISA Gift Card!
March 20, 2012
It's confession time! Like many moms out there, I hate, hate, HATE going to the grocery. To make the onerous deed a little more bearable, I create little treats for myself in order to get through the trip, and one of those treats involves carefully choosing† a new body wash each time I have a bottle that's running low. There in the relative peace of the beauty products aisle, I take a little more time than I probably...

Cookies, Procrastination, and a $75 VISA Gift Card
March 10, 2012
Seriously, how long have oatmeal cookies been around? They're one of the first cookies I can remember eating as a kid, and with all the prepackaged cookies available at the grocery, you'd think that Quaker, the world's best known oatmeal maker, would have gotten the memo and come up with some ready-made oatmeal cookies for our kids (AND US) to enjoy. But no. For decades, we've been forced to slave away in the kitchen...

Win a $100 Walmart Gift Card & IHOP at Home Syrup Gift Pack!
March 1, 2012
I am a die-hard cook, but I am NOT a morning person. So while I love breakfast foods, they have to be fairly easy or else they're beyond the capabilities of my morning personality. Recently, I read an article with the stunning news that made-from-scratch pancake batter was absolutely no better (or even significantly cheaper) than buying pancake mix in a box. This, my friends, was NEWS! Pancakes for everyone! And IHOP...

A Nashville Circus Ticket Giveaway!
January 24, 2012
The Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey circus is coming to Nashville's Bridgestone Arena January 26-29, and I'm giving away five packs of four tickets each! We get to go to lots of kids shows here in Nashville, but the circus last year was one of my children's absolute favorite events of the year -- and my husband and I loved it, too. There really is something for everyone. Here's the synopsis of this year's show,...

Win a $50 Visa Gift Card From BlogHer and Bounce!
November 8, 2011
Sometimes, the simplest little things can make a big difference. Case in point: the Bounce Dryer Bar. I received a Bounce Dryer Bar to try out in my dryer and honestly, I smile every time I see it. Because I do a LOT of laundry, people, and the fact that the Bounce Dryer Bar is now affixed inside my dryer means that I get to skip the extra step of throwing in a dryer sheet with every load FOR THE NEXT FOUR MONTHS. Yes,...

Win an Xbox 360 and Kinect!
October 31, 2011
As many of you know, I have a video game-loving family. Fortunately, the newest crop of video games and gaming systems promote family play, and require us to get up and move around in order to play them. Therefore, gaming has been a positive bonding experience for everyone in my family, from our 4-year-old to our 21-year-old to the ... adults of the house. To this end, we have been thrilled with our Xbox 360 and Kinect. If...

Win a Brand New Lands’ End Coat!
October 20, 2011
The weather has just begun getting chilly here, and I'm starting to think about the need for a winter coat. I might update with a dressy coat this season, but I won't have to worry about an all-weather coat for the next several years -- That's because Lands' End was nice enough to send me one two winters ago, and it is holding up beautifully. ...Even after repeated rounds of THIS. We've had more snow in the last...

My $50 Drugstore.com Gift Card Giveaway
October 3, 2011
When I was a teenager, I comforted myself with the knowledge that if I had to get old, at least I wouldn't have to deal with pimples anymore. Yeah. Still laughing about that one. I was lucky not to have a horrible experience with acne during my adolescence, but I can't say the pimples have gotten much better since then, either. In my twenties, a hot humid climate combined with the makeup I wore on television...
