Dude, no one loved that Jimmy Fallon Saved by the Bell throw-back more than me–go Zack Morris! But this trip down Memory Lane sparked a few reflections–most notably, how dramatically technology has changed and become such a significant part of our kids’ lives. How is a parent to responsibly handle this shift? Check the savvy new […]
The Night of Growing Up
Last Wednesday night should have been an average weekday night in February. You know, the kind of night where you feel like a rockstar for schooling Kindergarten homework and braving the 19 degree windchill for a venture out to the mailbox. Nothing notable was planned or expected. My husband was working late. My only hope was to land the […]
A Touch of Love
If you’re anything like me, you may be a bit knackered from all the kid’s Valentine fun that’s been going down this week. And this isn’t going to be a post about trying to embrace the true meaning of Valentine’s Day despite the crazy. Let’s be honest, it will be a miracle if I even […]
Caring for My Sweetie’s Sweet Tooth
My daughter’s sweet tooth is well-developed (read: if it has sugar in it, she will eat it). While I admire her unwavering dedication to knowing what she likes, her pursuit of the sweet stuff can be a bit “challenging for Mommy”. (read: daily fights over why endless consumption of lollipops is a no-go). My son is […]
I’m Watching You!
We are entering a new stage in our household: independent play in our rooms. To those of you with older kids, this probably doesn’t sound like a big deal. For those of you with kids younger than my 3 yr. old and 5 yr. old, your mind is blown, “How does this even happen?!?” But […]
The Failure
I spent most of last week convinced of my own total ineptitude. You know how it looks when everything someone touches turns to gold? Think the exact opposite of that and you’re hanging with me in my week. On Monday, I got lost on my way to the public library, panicked, was terribly late to […]

OneDay Valentine Stars
My kids are at really cute ages. So many times I wish I could bottle up their 5 yr.old-ness and 3 yr. old-ness and keep it forever. Not saying they won’t do cute things in the years to come, but I find it pretty magical when my son explains the reason his girlfriend likes him […]
The Mom that You Are
I’m not shy about not being particularly good at this kid thing. I love mine, of course. And sometimes I even enjoy kids’ activities and playdates, but in general, I’m a flop at understanding what to do with the younger set. This bothers me. It’s the kind of thing you feel weird discussing with others, because […]
