Celebrate My Birthday with Me…....

Resourceful Mommy is turning 33 tomorrow.  No, not the blog.  The writer.  Me.  Amy Lupold Bair.  And I want you to celebrate with me. I know that by now I shouldn’t care so much about my birthday, but the fact is that I like any excuse to have fun and do what I want to…

Wordless Wednesday: Beautiful Mess

Thank you for bearing with me during my family’s move this week as we try to find the house we fell in love with under all of these boxes.  I’m beginning to see the  light at the end of the tunnel, and am looking forward to regularly blogging again starting next week! Did you post…

I Can Do All Things…

After a crazy series of busy weeks involving travel for work and pleasure, back to school, a heavy work load, and purchasing a new home, this weekend my body finally waved the white flag.  I went to bed Friday night a happy woman who had just reached a professional milestone, celebrated with a brownie sundae,…

My Time at the Biltmore

Over the weekend I spent some time in Asheville, North Carolina for the Type-A Mom Conference where I spoke about marketing to social media moms and blogger/company relations.  I had an amazing time with new friends and old, and I learned an incredible amount about blogging, business, and even myself.  One of my favorite days…

Missing Mom Blogger

In case you’ve wondered why I haven’t been great about posting daily in the last few days, there’s no need to worry that I’ve been occasionally and temporarily kidnapped by a band of thieves with bad WiFi.  I also have not found time to do other fun things like go on lavish shopping sprees or…

Let’s Have a Little Fun…

I want you to meet somebody. I have only known him since August, but in a couple of weeks we’re moving in together. I have to be honest. He’s not my type. I think I only dated one blonde guy in all of my vast dating experience and quite frankly, that didn’t end well. And…

Help a Blogger Out?

It’s official – we’re moving.  After years of wondering if we’d spend the rest of our lives in our current home and months of searching, we found a home that fits our needs better and a month from now, we’ll be living there.  My biggest concern in this entire process has been my children: will…

Wordless Wednesday…on Thursday

Two year old preschool Emma meets six year old first grader Emma… All day long yesterday I was sure it was Thursday.  My internal calendar was completely out of order and I went about my day accordingly.  Today?  I was so sure it was time for Wordless Wednesday that I sat down to write this…

Living Font: Watch for God

The other morning while I was quickly getting ready to rush off to something with the kids, I noticed that my daughter had placed this bracelet on my bathroom counter.  During Vacation Bible School this summer, each child was given a blue “Watch for God” bracelet and asked to do just that throughout their day….

Survey Saturday – Holiday Edition

With a house upside-down in preparation for the big move to our new home, my mind wanders from time to time to what the next house will look like when shelves are put back together, boxes unpacked, and curtains hung.  In my favorite daydreams, I’ve also decorated the new house for Christmas.  There’s a huge…

The Best of Resourceful Mommy: I Used...

When you make the decision to blog, you are effectively making the decision to put yourself on the chopping block. You are submitting yourself for judgement, opening yourself up to public scrutiny.  When you begin to find popularity in blogging, that analysis is taken to another level.  You essentially blog with a target on your…

Amy Unplugged (Survey Saturday)

With the summer nearly over, I’ve decided that it is time to take a week and unplug.  For one week Resourceful Mommy will be populated with “Best of…” posts, and I will not be hosting any Twitter Parties for an entire week.  Pick your jaw up off of the floor.  It’s true.  I swear. I…

Survey Saturday: The Happiness Project

A little while ago, friend and fellow blogger Cecily from Uppercase Woman invited me to participate in The Happiness Project. I have so much to tell all of you every day without fun projects, even from great women like Cecily, that at first I was hesitent.  But then I heard about this great aspect of…
