When I started this blog, it was basically an outlet to talk about the changes I experience in the awesome role of mother. Another reason for Bibs & Baubles was for me to have more opportunities to exercise my writing muscle. Yes, I write for a living but that’s different. It have to write things […] Read more…

40 Before 40 No. 9
I have never claimed to be the best cook. I’ve set off a few smoke alarms in my day. The whole point of cooking for me, is to eat. I really only cook because I know we have to eat. I don’t really enjoy cooking. I wish I did though. I can watch the Cooking […] Read more…
InspiHer BlogHer
It was the first time I have been away from my son since his arrival 20 months ago – so I had high expectations from Blogher 11. When it comes to my thoughts on the mega-conference – I have two words for you: Flash Mob! If there was any doubt that BlogHer was going to […] Read more…
40 Before 40 No. 8 (Hola!)
Hola! Como esta? Me llamo es Cam! That’s almost the extent of my Spanish! I know I need to do better! It has been years since I’ve sat down in a class to learn Espanol. I took it in high school and college. With all those years learning the language you’d think I’d be an […] Read more…
First Time – Last Time
I can tell you the last time I had spaghetti, the last time I wore my favorite jeans and the last time I said I love you. What I can’t tell you is when was I last did something for the first time. In my efforts to continue to be the best version of me […] Read more…
National Swimsuit Confidence Week
For some people the warm weather brings on stress. You start thinking about the shorter skirts, fitted dresses, shorts and the dreaded swimsuit. That last one really sticks out. People tend to really get freaked out when it comes to swimwear. A moo-moo on the beach would suit some peeps just fine. For this whole […] Read more…
40 before 40 No. 5
I’ve never fancied myself a dynamo in the kitchen. Don’t get me wrong, I cook. My cooking is more out of necessity. We have to eat so, I have to cook. I’ve never been a cook for fun kind of girl. I don’t get into baking either. I know what you’re thinking… “somebody married you?”, […] Read more…
Meal Plan?
Up until now, my mean plan has been that I plan to have a meal. Apparently, I need to get with the mommy program and get to planning my grub. It seems every one I know and every blog I read has a meal plan. I seem to have the hardest time trying to implement […] Read more…
40 Before 40 No.2
Giving more thought to the goal of 40 before 40, I’m finding out there are a boat load of things I want to do. I think it took me sitting down and writing it out to realize or remember that I have so many interests! I’ll take that as a good thing. The next thing […] Read more…
This Isn’t Working
I really thought things would work out. I had great expectations. Those expectations die a little everyday. I just knew my son and my “(dog)daughter” would be the best of friends. I had all these grand ideas of her being his first best friend. So far, it ain’t happening. Don’t get me wrong, he absolutely […] Read more…
