After all of the years that Mr. Social Media and I have been together, we seem to have come to an understanding regarding what can become a very touchy subject in a relationship. We have been married for 12 and a half years and together nearly 20 years (half my LIFE!) but not even the [...]

Hello Everyone! Over the last few months you might have seen me talking about my other blogging gig. Yep. breida with a b. is not the only place you can find Breida with a b. You can come and visit me – about once a month – over at Extras For Me. Extras For Me is [...]

Snow day! I LOVE a snow day. I think that I might like them even more now that I am a parent than I did when I was a kid. Okay, I’m not sure that’s actually possible – but I really do love a snow day. When I picked the kids up from school Thursday, [...]

Mr. Social Media just left with both of the kids to go skiing for the day. I’ve decided to spend the day rearranging and purging the kids’ rooms. I’ve enlisted help. I have a plan. This is a first-week-of-the-year kind of project! While I’m up to my elbows in clothes that don’t fit and broken [...]

When I was a little girl, I had this shirt. I guess you’d have to call it a blouse. Even if you’re not the sort of person who says “blouse” (and I’m not), that’s really what it was. I was seven – so that would make it 1979 or 1980. . . The blouse was [...]

Because, really, what else would I call a post about guacamole? And really? This guacamole knocked my socks off. We had some with our dinner the other night and everyone (even those of us who WILL NOT eat tomatoes?) LOVED it. This recipe was inspired by the guacamole that Mr. Social Media and I had [...]

I had a little help with this one. The kids and I made these fantastic pizza rolls the other night. As soon as I saw this idea on Pinterest from Krissy at B.Inspired, Mama, I started to think about how I could change it up to make it work for my kids. I think Krissy’s [...]
