Welcome! I'm Jill and I’m much scarier than I may appear. Or, at least I like to think so.
My son named me Scary Mommy during a phase where he was scared of everything, including his grilled cheese sandwiches. So, maybe I’m not all that scary after all, but Pushover Mommy didn’t quite have the same ring to it.
Scary Mommy has appeared in top publications such as the New York Times, cnn.com, msn.com, Ms. Magazine, Parenting Magazine and Washingtonian Magazine. Some pieces I like more than others. I was a keynote speaker at BlogHer '10, among other speaking engagements.

Love this photo. Love your thought.

Totally adorable!
Rachael’s last blog post..I still hate Wal Mart!
I balled and balled when the ultrasound lady told me my first child with Jeremiah was going to be a boy. I had three girls with my ex and thought that was the only way to go, girls girls girls. I grew up with two younger brothers and didn’t get a sister till I was 17…
Now there is this whole fascination with how very boy-like he is. He makes sound effects constantly, he climbs on and over everything, he hates lying still to get dressed or his diaper changed, he doesn’t talk nonstop…he actually doesn’t say much at all.

Love it! I would have seriously lost it if I was having a girl. I was so glad to see boy parts I called out his gender before the ultrasound tech could. The debate in our house about having another centers on how we would feel about having a girl; my husband is fine, I am terrified.
God – they are both so adorable.
haha, wait, did you sob because you were happy or because they were boys? Because I would totally do that. I’m a Girl Scout Leader and I need a future Girl Scout.
@Sam_I_Am, tears of total horror. But they won me over. Twice. :)
YOu have got some seriously cute kiddo’s, Scary Mommy! I firmly believe it’s the ONLY reason humans don’t eat their young :)

Jenni Jiggety’s last blog post..WW: America’s Next Top Jacker
Your boys are absolutely adorable!! I was really happy to find out I was having a girl – only because she was the ultimate miracle and would end up being our only…and after hubby regaled me with stories of what he was like as a child, I was REALLY hoping for a girl…of course I’m probably going to be wishing she were a boy when we hit the teen years down the road…(grin!!)

I also sobbed when I found out I was having another boy. The ultrasound tech got mad at me.
I guess he turned out okay. Just like yours did.

Why did you cry?! They are precious and they look so much alike.
Nicole’s last blog post..Wordful Wednesday…..Preschool
@Nicole- I ONLY wanted girls— I just had no idea what to do with boys- I hate sports, dirt etc. and have just always been a girly girl. But I am SO glad I ended up with them, I’m not sure I could handle the drama of three girls!
and OK, Swirl. Let’s start planning now. I have a whole binder of wedding ideas to implement– is that a problem? :)
Holy cow…you baked some gorgeous babies! Those faces are priceless.

I have to agree, there is something about a son. Cute photo.
Jen, buried with children’s last blog post..Quinn’s Idea of a Funny Joke
Aww.
You know, all Henry the Eighth (king who had 6 wives and chopped off two of their heads) wanted was sons. If you had been his wife he probably would have showered you with jewelry and presented you with a gold encrusted fountain. (Apparently, they were all the rage back then.)
