What Men Are More Scared of Than "Strong Women"
I’m going on a crusade, it might be the beginning of a weekly series of posts. Somehow I doubt it though, since I have the attention span of a fruit fly, combined with the love of shiny things akin to the lovechild of a magpie and chimpanzee and I get distracted easily. Wait, what was I saying? Hey, look over there! Oh yes, the crusade. I am on a rampage against feminism gone wrong; feminist propaganda that became colloquial jargon embedded into our vernacular and has infected our daily conversations and social consciousness. Am I betraying the sisterhood? Not in… { read more }
The First Step Is Admitting You Want A Different Drink
I asked my Lovely Babies on Facebook for some input on their favorite drinks because I was bored with my usual pink wine (white zin). I feel like I should warn you that I worked in bars for years, there are very few drinks I’ve not tried. I don’t need to be deflowered, just reminded of something I may have forgotten in my years of monogamous wino-hood. Anyway, it didn’t really work because I decided instead to walk the straight and narrow. I had all but given up on drinking. I thought it would be better to turn over a… { read more }
Grey’s Anatomy Turned My Son into an X-Man
I’ve been watching seasons one through six of Grey’s Anatomy with the husband to get him caught up, he loves it. Damn those scalpel wielding motherfuckers. It has to be said that once a week, Grey’s Anatomy is a nice dose of (kind of femmie) drama which touches in a pseudo-poignant way that is right in my sweet spot. However, three episodes a night for several months is enough to be down right depressive. Every single episode, someone dies… which, you know, happens in hospitals. The other night, I was watching Grey’s Anatomy after Makaio’s punk-ass couldn’t stop breaking the… { read more }
The Highlight of My Weekend Was…
Hey, Lovely Babies… just a quick note to say yippee! I have a driving lesson this morning which will have me gone for a portion of the morning. So, I pass the mic to you. Leave me a comment to tell me what the best part of your weekend was. I promise it will help with your nasty case of the Mondays if you relive the highlight of your weekend, if only for a minute. And reading everyone else’s stories will give us all a grin. Come ooooon, share, share share! Also, a couple of reminders: 1. You should enter… { read more }
MOR Marshmallow Lip Balm Giveaway
I have a really unhealthy obsession with lip products; balms, glosses, color… I just love a good tub or tube of lip product. What’s the problem with this? I can never find the PERFECT one, and so I always have about five in any bag I’m carrying. Lip balms are either too stiff and waxy or glosses are too sticky and not moisturizing enough, or colors don’t moiturize and taste awful. It’s pretty impossible to find one that hits all the marks. I have finally found it. In the interest of full disclosure, I have to tell you that this… { read more }

Roasted Stuffed Red Peppers w/Cous Cous: Saturday Recipe
I got this one from my vegetarian group. Novak and I love it, though he sometimes complains there’s no meat and it’s like an appetizer for him as a huge meat eater . Full disclosure: Makaio could live without it and tends to eat a sandwich when I make it. I could eat a whole pan of it, LOVE IT… so I figured I’d share it with you. Sometimes we just have to do a little somethin’ for ourselves. Ingredients 3-4 red bell peppers 6-8 baby cherry or plum tomatoes handful of fresh basil leaves 3-4 cloves of garlic or… { read more }
Ten Things that Made Me Drop the F-Bomb Today
*by Today, I mean the last 24 hours* 1. Redesigning never goes as smoothly as you imagine in your head, in any situation. Redesigning your home, redesigning your wardrobe, redesigning the size of your ass (just buy bigger jeans, it’s easier). Redesigning a website/facebook/twitter is no exception. Getting all three things suited up with new images almost had me pulling my hair out. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!!! 2. It’s raining like a cow pissin’ on a flat rock, has been for about twelve hours. I walk four miles a day for the school run. Are you fucking kidding me?… { read more }
Check out the Hotness! New Pinup and Shirts!!!
You’ve heard promises of a new, custom Stay At Home Babe pinup. I’ve been whispering about the redesigned header for the site and I know you’ve been waiting on baited breath for the t-shirts, tank tops and hoodies. You have, haven’t you? Well, wait no longer, all has arrived. As of tomorrow the new pinup will be on the website, the Facebook page and Twitter profile.

My Bush, A Time/Life Retrospective
Have you ever stopped and thought about how many ways you’ve groomed your vag over the course of your life? If not, I’m sure you are now. Lucky for you, I’ve done it for you today. I was sat in the dentist’s office all day with my kids and I started thinking how badly I need to trim the Amazon again and one thought lead to another until I was thinking about the progression and development of my bush. It went something like this: 1. There’s a hair! It’s there! I FINALLY got one! 2. A few misguided years of… { read more }
