Very grouchy with global warming right now. I’d love to know: where is the snow this winter?! Yes, sure, inconvenienced with the white stuff right along with the next person, but when you have kids, a nice solid snow at some point during the winter seems due. Forget the fun of sledding, why then did […]
Children’s Clothing for Every Holiday
Isaac’s 1st Christmas (pouty dog included) It is very possible that I am obsessed with holiday gear. I always knew that I was slightly very into having my children sport bibs, tees, and onesies to shout-out whatever holiday was upcoming, but I now realize that my behavior may border on a little psychotic. This was […]
Sometimes You Just Pray for the Cats
Mommy is ordering an “I (heart) Sprinkles and Red Dye #5” t-shirt for herself. Anyone else want in?? If I had to guesstimate, I would say about 98% of this child-rearing gig doesn’t go down the way I originally pictured in my mind. Recent case in point: the idyllic decoration of Valentine cookies I had imagined resulted […]
Aiming for Second-Worst
We judgmental moms, carefully “working” the room by ranking the horrendous-ness of all the children present… Yes, we modern moms shoot high. Further shout-out to my friend T, who has apparently been a significant inspiration for blog fodder as of late…I was telling her how my son recently held hellacious court at the b-day party of our favorite […]
Strawberry Shortcake and the Other Epic Ladies of the 80s
I’ve got a girl crush, or several girl crushes, rather. And it will never, ever matter how old I get or how many Bratz dolls or Polly Pockets hit the scene, my love for Strawberry Shortcake, Rainbow Brite, My Little Pony and the Care Bears (though The Bears are rather androgynous in general, so don’t […]
Super Tuesday
When I was young and “brilliant”, I decided I was going to change the world and headed off to a PolySci major in DC. Quickly disillusioned by the inefficiency of actually working in politics, my political obsession now translates into a stubborn refusal to schedule eye doctor or hair appointments on Super Tuesday and sending […]
Exercising at Home
NOT the harmonious exercise seen in my home I told my friend T I had started to exercise. She was enthused and asked which gym I had decided to go with. I said, “the one in my living room.” Yes, no sweet exercise machines or private trainers or childcare, but it’s free and it’s convenient. […]
Missing Gilmore Girls
I will never understand this. I will forever mourn the loss of Gilmore Girls until the day I die. When the CW decided in 2007 not to renew THE BEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, my heart started bleeding and has not stopped. Sound overly dramatic? It is not. If anything, I am being understated when […]
Skin Care
I have officially reached that right of passage that many not-so-young-approaching-middle-age (ack!!) women hit when they realize, “Oh crap, I’ve got skin!” And, like, maybe I should do something about it? Not ever plagued by acne or pimples (but many, many other body deficiences, I assure you), my skin care routine up to this point […]
HotCold!
We definitely have communication difficulties in this house. On average, I would say I understand approximately 15% of what my son says. A lot of “mumblemumblemumble mumble Chicken and Fries.” (Somehow no matter how vague my son’s speech is, his request for “chicken and fries” at the end of every sentence is astoundingly clear…) If […]
