PBS Kids Fangirl FTW!
When the marvelous blogger Karen Waldron of Chookooloonks called herself a ‘fangirl of PBS Kids‘ in the following video, I yelled out ‘ME TOO!‘ Like Karen, I have many fond childhood memories of PBS. Back in my day, PBS was one of the few channels that provided children’s programming during the weekdays and there were [...]
Multi-tasking! Not A Myth With The Baby Mop
Babies are pretty lazy. I mean: yes, they are growing and discovering and learning and the like, and they are kind of cute if you’re in to that kind of thing (I am), but overall, what else do they actually do besides drink, poop, scream, and sleep all while someone else takes care of all [...]
These Toys Probably Had It Coming
Finally, something I can do with all those old stuffed animals that are kicking around the house. I’m half convinced that these plush annoyances are breeding mites and god knows what else, so anything that involves dismantling their suspect bodies sounds good to me. Heck, I became excited at the idea of eviscerating a Care [...]
Teach Your Child To Say Eyjafjallajokull (That Volcano in Iceland)

True Story: I regularly watched and — more strangely — really enjoyed the show Pimp My Ride. Before watching that show I didn’t know much about the host Xzibit but I do know that he really appeared to love pimping other people’s sad, rusted-out rides. Either that or he really enjoyed being a glorified Barker’s [...]
Bad Mom Hack: Colouring Dress For The Distraction And The Win
Coloring books: the great distraction that has saved many waiting room and restaurant meltdowns from ever happening. Coloring books should be given a Nobel Prize for Maintaining the Peace & Sanity of Parents Everywhere.
Arianna Huffington Is On To Something
I don’t know what the takeaway was supposed to be from this story about how Arianna Huffington’s daughter passes judgment on her fashion choices by hollering at her over their home intercom, but I can tell you what my initial reaction was: their house requires an effing INTERCOM? But then I thought – I need [...]
Bad Moms Love Bad Crafts (No Care Bears Were Harmed In The Production Of This Post. Yet.)
The following baby costume is hands down it the best home-made bear costume ever, in the history of the universe, or at least in my universe because I’d like to have a baby so I could make this costume and that right there? That is insanity talking. I just started to get the occasional full [...]
