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.

those are fantastic. love the first one. i seem to have too many pictures of my kid “digging for gold.” when he starts sitting on the couch with his hand in his pants Al Bundy style, then i know it’s time to really worry. take care.
