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.

Awww looks like he’s been hard at work! What exactly do they make kids do at pre-school?!
Lady Mama´s last blog ..Is it a bird? Is it a dildo? No, it’s a mascara!
Gorgeous photos! Must have been one heck of a day for him to be sleeping so soundly like that!
LinLori´s last blog ..How time has flown
Whatever they’re doing, you gotta hope that they keep it up. Seriously though, he’ll get used to it soon enough and be his usual ball of energy so enjoy the naps now. Yay naptime!
Kat´s last blog ..Me-time
He’s so cute! I love the places he picked to sleep. Poor guy!

He has a rough life. Look at him. Little punkin.
