You couldn’t avoid it last week. Even for those of us who couldn’t give two rat’s asses about any Kardashians, what they might or might not be wearing, how long their micromarriages might have lasted or how much they spent in Beverly Hills boutiques, it was inescapable. Huge headlines about how Khloe Kardashian’s father MIGHT [...]

“I’m thinking about buying an electric breast pump this time around since I had some trouble breastfeeding my first kid. It’s okay to buy a used one, isn’t it?” “Omg, no. I totally breastfed all five of my kids for three years each and I never, ever used a pump.” “Well, you see, I just [...]
The least shocking news of 2012 broke this week, with deep South, deep-fat fryin’ down-home cooking guru Paula Deen admitting that she has type-2 diabetes, something the rags have been dishing on for years. With signature recipes including Southern Fried Chicken, Cheese Biscuits, Krispy Kreme Bread Pudding and Paula’s Fried Butter Balls, as well as [...]

Being a photographer, I often read posts and articles on improving my craft, and one suggestion is to participate in a photo challenge. A lot of people to the 365 (or 366, in 2012) challenge, which is a photo a day for a year, and … no thanks. When I worked from home, I may [...]
This story tore my heart out and stomped it in to the living room floor. A 19 year old woman walked in to a Chicago area fire station on Monday carrying a six month old baby. Miserable and wretched, she handed her baby to the firefighters and told them she couldn’t care for her child [...]

I had sort of put off writing this post because I hate the perfunctory ‘my baby isn’t a baby anymore and I feel sad’ birthday posts. But, my baby isn’t a baby anymore and I feel sad. My last baby turned six on Christmas Eve and because she is the third I know what six [...]
The following post is dedicated to all the parents who have ever felt guilty about a parenting decision that other parents may have judged or frowned upon. For all of us who have been in that position, deep down you knew that decision was the right one and completely necessary in conquering the quest to [...]
This Bad Mom has a hard time saying ‘no’ to an awesome dare and the latest one thrown my way is no exception. When the Bad Moms Club was asked to join the Dare to Draw campaign I knew we – me and my 6 year old — could do together because this dare involved one [...]
My family and I are on a ski vacation, less than an hour away from our home. We had discussed going somewhere HOT, but once we crunched the numbers for our family of five to get away, it worked out to one month’s salary. Mine and my husband’s salary combined. After a morning spent debating [...]
Today, my kid starts school. She’s two and a half. And she’s ready. She’s very, very, very ready. She watches and thinks and learns, her little brain working furiously behind her eyes as she stares fixatedly at me whenever I try to thwart her plans for world domination. It’s time. She needs more than I [...]
My heels are clickety-clacketing down the hallway and I have this flash — I’m a grown-up! I even own a proper umbrella. As if I didn’t already know that – I have three kids, I earn a living (sort-of), I drive a car, buy groceries, handle hot implements. I am in my early 40s and [...]
My love for Photojojo is not a new topic here, and I even included their iPhone lenses in my photography gift guide. Well, guess what? I GOT THOSE LENSES FOR CHRISTMAS. (I’m not yelling. I’m just excited.) For the past five Christmases or so I’ve requested (and received) some pretty great camera gear. My 70D, [...]
