My dearest Lily, Ben and Evan, Having left you alone last weekend with your father for the first time ever, I have to express my sincere disappointment in you. You really let me down, kids. I know how long the days with you can be. I live them day after day after day. Lily, you [...]

BlogHer 09 was just like high school. Well, high school with lots of free stuff. I suppose the free stuff in high school could be considered booze and cigarettes, because there was always some element of pushing and shoving for those. And they were fun in high school, until that first hangover. And then they [...]

Ready, Aim, Misfire

07.16.2009

Are we all in agreement that men are the lazier of the two sexes? The slightly less competent, less capable versions of women? Yes? Yes. So, why is it that God or evolution or whatever forces ironed out our human forms, decided to gift men with the piece of anatomy that requires precision and effort [...]

If you can’t beat ‘em…

06.22.2009

I’ve spent a good deal of my life frustrated with other people: People who constantly run late, while I’m inevitably early. People who neglect to RSVP to parties, while I always do within a few days. People who mail things weeks later than they promised, while I make a point out of getting to the [...]

Speaking of Comments…

06.08.2009

As a mother of three, there are very few things that are entirely mine. My bed is inevitably invaded by all of the kids sometime throughout the night. My favorite foods are devoured by mouths other than mine and my cosmetics are used for dress up these days as often as on my own face. [...]

The Terrible Threes

Are parenting experts actually… parents? Being one myself, I have a serious bone to pick with them: The “terrible twos” are crap. The hell on earth I want to stuff my child in a dresser drawer and take a three hour bath while consuming a bottle of wine “terrible threes” are more like it. Or, [...]

Tips for Brand New Moms

05.17.2009

When you’re pregnant, people are filled with unsolicited advice for you: What you should eat. What you shouldn’t eat. How to sleep, how to exercise, how to tell what gender the baby is, how to do everything. And it doesn’t stop once the baby arrives. People love to offer their two cents, but I don’t [...]

Sore Loser

I am cursed with a face that shows each and every emotion. People always know if I truly love a gift, like their cooking or think they do indeed look fat in those ill fitting jeans. Even if I wanted to play poker I couldn’t and my unintentional expressions put me at a major disadvantage [...]

To Vlog or not to Vlog

04.23.2009

Blogging is seeming so 2008 lately, isn’t it? Vlogging (video-blogging, Mom) is where it’s at these days. Everyone is hopping on the vlog bandwagon. They’re vlogging about husbands and kids and friendships. They’re vlogging about breastfeeding and childbirth and sex. They’re vlogging about everything. But I’m not. And I won’t be. What I love about [...]
