Bad Books: P.S. I Hate It Here
How many of you went to camp as a kid? I did. After my parents divorced, my mother sent me to a day camp through the summer so she could work, and I really enjoyed it, for the most part. I loved playing Capture the Flag and singing camp songs (many of which I still [...]

And Now I Can’t Wait To Go To Church On Sundays
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 [...]

Bad Moms Like Cupcakes, Even Ones With Brain Slugs
Yes, cupcakes, with Brain Slugs (Futurama anyone? I used to have time to spend on watching those shows before I had a baby). Not real ones, but still. Oh hell, I'd still eat these cupcakes even if the slugs were real because brain slugs can't possibly do any more damage than the sleep deprivation due [...]
No Kicking Penguins: Bad Moms Like Good Kids That Do Good Stuff
A young Canadian boy from Newfoundland drew a picture that became the 'official policy in Antarctica' for a British research facility in the South Pole after the image becoming popular on the web. This right here is an excellent example of the positive power of internet. The boy, who is in grade two, and autistic, [...]
Sleeping Beauty Never Sounded So Good
In my opinion, remakes of popular movies usually suck. I mean, why try to perfect or modernize something already successful? But there are exceptions and the following remake sounds like one, albeit one that I maybe won't be able to take my kid to: Tim Burton is rumored to be remaking Disney's Sleeping Beauty.
This Bad Mom Loves The Movies of 2009
Holy crap, we're headed into the final stretch of 2009. How did that happen? Anyway, what this means is… this week is all about one thing: 2009 RETROSPECTIVES FOR THE WIN! Today I'm talking about movies. Movies I rarely get to see in the optimal format — the big screen — because no one will [...]
Go Speed Racer
Remember that super-awesometastic weaponized turbo-stroller that we featured the other day? That was a little impractical. I mean, you're not really going to take that kind of thing to the playground, unless you live in a post-apocalyptic dystopia ruled by evil aliens wherein the only playgrounds are littered with grenades and populated by mini-robot-bullies who, [...]
