Because someone, somewhere, thinks that your parenting sucks. Might as well celebrate it.
Bad is the new good.
Look, I don’t have anything against beards, really. I know that I’ve spilled a few words here about not loving them, but I don’t, like, hate them. Some perfectly wonderful men have beards. Gandalf! Dumbledore! Santa! That said – and I’m really not trying to suggest a conspiracy or anything here – ever notice that [...]
My husband loves his facial hair. Really loves it. Like, he would totally wear a beard, always, because he thinks that it makes him look manly, and more mature, except that I don’t let him, because, beards, ugh. It’s not that have anything against beards qua beards, or facial hair in general. There are some [...]
It’s Canada Day today. Most Canadians will be celebrating by drinking beer and watching fireworks and stalking the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. Me, I’m celebrating by going off the grid. Well, going mostly off the gird. As little off the grid as I can manage. I am going to be clinging to the grid [...]
So the other week I went to SeaWorld, and they were all, like, bring a bathing suit, which was, on the one hand, terrifying, but on the other, intriguing (swimwear at SeaWorld could mean… swimming at SeaWorld! With, like, their creatures!) It also raised the very important of issue of how, if there were going [...]
I’ve written a lot about Instagram here, I know. (Instagram – iPhone photo-sharing app. Keep up with me, people.) But, you guys, it is like a core part of my very being. It is how I am recording my children’s lives. It matters. And it matters almost as much as the Camera+ app. I couldn’t [...]
I take a lot of photos of my kids. A lot of photos of my kids. More than I know what to do with. More than I can fit on my blog or in a Twitter stream or on my Facebook page or even in a good old fashioned hold-in-your-hands photo album. My life is, [...]
So, last week I packed up the family and we went to Orlando, Florida, where we did NOT go to Disney World (that was last month), but instead went to Universal Orlando Resort, which, truth be told, is not a place that I would have ever really thought of going, except for maybe to go [...]
My computer gets up to no good sometimes. I can’t really stop it or control it; it’s like she (of course she’s a she) has a mind of her own and there are just some days and evenings and mornings and afternoons when she demands – demands – that we not work and before you [...]
My birthday is coming up next week. I tell you this, because you might want to get me something, and I think that it’s important that you know that I do not want flowers. And by ‘you’, I mean my husband, so, honey, if you’re reading this? PAY ATTENTION. Here’s what I want: power. I [...]
I should have had this up before Mother’s Day, I know, but I guess that just says something about my ROI as a blogger. Thank god I’ve still got my motherhood to fall back on. I have to say, I’m a bit surprised that ‘years of ass-wiping and potty-training’ = ‘turning you into a functional, [...]
I wrote a post the other day at Her Bad Mother about what I really wanted for Mother’s Day – I wrote the post, actually, to accompany a Momversation episode that I did addressing the same issue – in which I claimed that I was a Mother’s Day curmudgeon and that all I wanted was [...]
Bad moms, bad dads, bad grandmas, bad aunts, bad neighbors, bad EVERYBODY – and also everybody who hasn’t yet embraced their inner badness, which is to say, EVERYBODY, full stop… GO VOTE. Voting is the new good. Voting is also the old good. Voting is NECESSARY. Go do it.
