Last month I tweeted about how some lawmakers in California were trying to get laws passed to ban toys in McDonald’s happy meals.  Their reasoning — combating childhood obesity.  Apparently it’s the toy in the Happy Meal that is making our children fat. Ok, they aren’t exactly arguing that it is the toy that is [...]

This should probably go under one of my Mommy Confessions because I am so terrible about displaying photos of my kids around my house.  It’s not that I don’t love having pictures of my girls on my walls or displayed on shelves, it’s just that I’m so bad about actually printing and then framing those [...]

I am hanging my head in shame over here as I tell you that I am, indeed, one of the five people who did not see AVATAR in the theater.  This was a film that both my husband and I really wanted to see in the theater but things just didn’t work out for that [...]

This is more of a “Me Confession” than a “Mommy Confession” but it something I wanted to talk about for a while, nonetheless. Public Bathrooms. They completely freak me out.

A few weeks ago, the girls received a package from Angela, their old babysitter who is now off living in the real world as a nurse.  In the package were items for them to play dress-up as nurses/doctors.  The girls were so excited that Miss Angela sent them their very own nurses outfits and love [...]

One of my favorite ways to celebrate Earth Day is to be reminded of the awesomeness of our planet.  The power that can be found in a sand storm across the African desert.  The playfulness of a mother polar bear as she emerges from her den at the onset of Spring. The sense of community [...]

It’s Earth Week!  Ok, I know that technically it’s just supposed to be Earth Day (April 22) but, I figure if I can declare the week of my birthday my Birthday Week, so can the Earth!  So we’re going to celebrate Earth Week here at Stacey Says with some fun posts! I’m going to go [...]

This morning I was up and showering before the rest of the family made their way out of bed. I had my sneakers on and was leaving the house before breakfast hit the table. An hour later I was freezing as my thin fleece pullover was no match for the wind whipping across the lake, [...]

A few months ago my sister asked me why my husband was always telling people where he was. Isn’t he worried about people stalking him?
