I have totally failed in the serving the family dinner department lately. Not that we’ve ever lived a sort of traditional family life (meaning my big strong husband goes to work while I stay home and roll socks into balls). No. It’s always been like an accidental phenomenon if I prepared a meal and served [...]

Over the years I’ve learned some things from my teenagers. Besides being extremely annoying and narcissistic, they’re also acutely aware of how things “make them feel.” Major eye roll. I’m not sure if this holds true with teenage boys–I have the distinct pleasure of having teenage daughters. By the time my 4th child (and only [...]

I recently came across this story of a dad in China who chained his 8 year old son to a light post and tried to auction him off. When I read the headline I was immediately outraged. I mean, what parent would do this to his child? Only the monster kind of parent, right? As [...]

Parenting: You don't even need a license. Or a fully functioning brain.

I’ve always been one of those people who prides herself in being able to write witty captions for pictures. Like, I’m totally great at it. For real. Just ask me. So. It was awesome when I opened an email that contained parenting fail pics with hilarious captions. And had I not known any better I [...]

Recently I came across this site which featured the worst parenting trends of the decade. And while I agree with most of the Top 10 there was one that I did not. And if you know me AT ALL, you know which one I’m talking about. But in case you just stumbled onto this website [...]

It’s amazing what one finds on these here Internets. Sometimes it’s scary… Sometimes it’s informative… Sometimes it’s downright HI-larious… And sometimes… Well, sometimes there are no words.

So last week Jessica Simpson was on Ellen and admitted on NATIONAL TELEVISION that she doesn’t brush her teeth every day. And do you know *why* she doesn’t brush her teeth every day? Because she doesn’t like her teeth to feel slippery. Uh. What? Dude. Slippery teeth is exactly THE reason I like brushing my [...]

Wee See equals pure awesomeness

So it’s been several years since I had a baby baby. My baby baby is nearly five years old (*insert sad face here*). And there won’t BE any more baby babies because….well… I have no uterus. But that’s a story for another day. (The short version goes something like this: it was falling out of [...]

It looks like a purse but is actually Mom's Best Friend

One of the hardest things about motherhood is all the crap you have to lug. There’s the diaper bag and the stroller and your purse and…oh yeah, THE BABY. There is no more “running in the grocery store for a quick sec.” Now it’s a Broadway Production complete with Migraine Headache. It’s awesome. I’ve been [...]
