And…Exhale…

By Stephanie Jankowski 18 Comments

A little over a month ago, I had to see a dermatologist because of some shady looking moles. I didn't think anything of it until  my doctor started throwing around the "C" word. I was actually hanging at a local bookstore, trying to get some work done, when my doctor called. I frantically tried to ... » Learn More about And…Exhale…

Another Open Letter to Ass Coulter

By Stephanie Jankowski 6 Comments

Dear Ann, Hi, you suck, and on so many different levels. Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we? 1. Remember the time you were chatting with Matt Lauer and you actually said these words about 9/11 widows: "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling ... » Learn More about Another Open Letter to Ass Coulter

It’s Been a Log Week

For Me?!

By Stephanie Jankowski 21 Comments

This morning, my crazy antics were nominated for the Liebster Award! If you're all, "That's super fantastic, but WHAT is the Liebster Award?!" you're not alone. Originally, I thought Senator Joe Lieberman wanted to recognize me for my political rants, but then I did some research. The Liebster ... » Learn More about For Me?!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

This is my first Photo Challenge entry and I'm already wondering if I screwed it up. I'm thinking this may count as more of a shadow, but it's adorable nonetheless: My 16-month-old just recently discovered her shadow, or silhouette. She's eternally delighted that her "friend" goes everywhere with ... » Learn More about Weekly Photo Challenge: Silhouette

Debate THIS.

By Stephanie Jankowski 14 Comments

I am so tired of these slap fights debates. I am forced to listen to my toddlers all day; I don't need to tune into more whining and "it's MY turn" when I'm trying to find reruns of "The Big Bang Theory." I'm having a difficult enough time trying to decide who gets my vote and it's stressful. It's ... » Learn More about Debate THIS.

I Want a Mulligan

By Stephanie Jankowski 9 Comments

This past week was a complete cluster. I barely had time to brush my teeth let alone write. As a result, I was cranky.
