It rains on about thirty days a year in Phoenix, and one of them landed on the barnyard birthday party, complete with the animals booked to arrive. Shelley Hobbs tells that story properly, and it is the best example of what she does: an ordinary domestic disaster written up with enough detail that you feel the afternoon.
The strongest post is quieter. She wrote a song coming back from postpartum depression and put the lyrics here, along with what the writing was for. Nothing about it asks for sympathy.
Around those sit the practical and the domestic in equal measure. How to deep fry a turkey, which is genuinely dangerous. Blueberry pancakes made with protein powder. Seven ways of getting more fruit into a household. How to write affirmations so they do something. How to promote a blog without spending anything.
There are also product reviews and reposted news items.
Twenty posts. Read the birthday party one and the song one. They tell you everything about the person writing.
