In Defense of Christmas (It’s Not About The Red Cup)

December 18, 2015 By Christine 2 Comments

Christmas is so much more than Starbucks red cups.

A few years, I realized there was a NYT best selling fiction author living in my town. I KNOW, RIGHT? I almost lost my mind when I realized that Kate Moretti was a mother and a writer just like me and I immediately decided that I had to meet her. Not in a stalkery, creepy, […]

The Keeper Gets Punched In The Throat

September 4, 2014 By Christine 177 Comments

Sometimes, dreams really do come true. And, when those dreams involve a stalker like, fan girl obsession, it’s even sweeter when those dreams become realized. Lemme tell you a little back story: In December 2011, my BFF sent me a link with the words, “OMG.  I’m crying I’m laughing soooooo hard…you have to read this…NOW”. […]

Lisa Newlin Visits The Keeper. Seriously.

September 2, 2014 By Christine 18 Comments

There are some people who don’t even have to open their mouths and you find yourself laughing. Not AT them, of course, but because you know the minute they DO open their mouths, hilarity will ensue. Lisa Newlin is that person.  I mean it.  She’s one of the funniest, most self deprecating people I’ve ever […]

The Keeper and Nomad Mom

August 26, 2014 By Christine 10 Comments

Since I started my blogging journey in March 2013, I’ve “met” many amazing people.  People who support my writing.  People who laugh at my jokes.  People who tell me they want to eat cereal when they hear the name of my blog. Lots and lots of people. But, there are a handful of new friends […]

The Keeper And DramaMomma

August 15, 2014 By Christine 9 Comments

A few months ago, I received this DELIGHTFUL email to my Facebook inbox: A lovely, lovely blogger who is very pretty and has firm thighs emailed to tell me that she LOVED my Facebook shenanigans and that she’d be sharing my name and blog on her Facebook page. She said she does a big “Pimp […]

The Keeper and Somewhat Sane Mom

August 12, 2014 By Christine 10 Comments

They say first impressions are everything.  That a first meeting, glance or encounter will make or break your relationship. Sometimes, you get to have a moment in time when your first impression is so lasting, that it makes you laugh when you recall how great the encounter was, even months later. My first impression of […]

The Keeper And Real Life Parenting

August 5, 2014 By Christine 25 Comments

Sometimes, you meet a blogger and you think to yourself, “Man, she says EXACTLY what’s in my head.  Loud and proud”. You think, “Wow.  I have ALWAYS felt that way but sort of didn’t know it until RIGHT NOW as I’m reading this blog and nodding my head the entire way through”. And then, you […]

The Keeper and Dried On Milk

July 29, 2014 By Christine 17 Comments

I have a dividing line in my life when it comes to my friends.  I have In Real Life Friends, people I see daily and with whom I have real live conversations.  I know what their laughter sounds like, their facial gestures and the nuances of their humor.  I love my IRL friends long time. […]

The Keeper and est1975

July 22, 2014 By Christine 1 Comment

I have a confession. I eat at McDonald’s every now and again. And I let my kids eat there, too. Did all my organic, crunchy, tree hugging, vegan followers just drop dead? I know I’m supposed to say that I’m offended that McDonald’s makes the food that makes us fat.  I know I’m obligated to complain […]

The Keeper Is Outmanned

July 8, 2014 By Christine 2 Comments

We’ve all had a first date. Not just a first date with a new prospect but a FIRST first date. Like, when you were 14.  With acne.  And braces.    Show of hands:  who’s FIRST first date was awkward, sweaty and replete with far too much aftershave and perfume? Hmm.  Everyone’s hands are raised.  That’s […]

Bad Sandy and The Keeper

July 1, 2014 By Christine Leave a Comment

Remember the movie “Grease”? Remember “Good Sandy”?  You know, all blonde, prim, proper and dainty singing “Hopelessly Devoted To You” into a pool in the backyard? Remember “Bad Sandy”?  Black leather pants, red hooker heels and curly hair singing to John Travolta and then disappearing off into the sky in a 57 Chevy? (Note:  the […]
