Parenting: I Don’t Want a Mini-Me

Parenting is tough stuff. I remember when I was pregnant I immersed myself in all things baby. The best baby products. The best breastfeeding items. The best baby engagement products so my baby would be stimulated in all ways to encourage amazing brain development (insert my eye roll here).  You get the point. When my […]

Dear Dads: You Most Definitely Matter

My son’s kindergarten teacher uses a fabulous app called Seesaw. (No, this is not a sponsored post). The kids post to it during class as part of their learning center project. During the day, I get notices of the work my son has done while at school.  It isn’t uncommon that his recording will end […]

My attempt at being crafty

My attempt at being crafty

I saw this post about how a mom cut out a heart for every day leading up to Valentine’s day. She wrote something she loved about each of her children and taped it to their door every night. I am not a crafty person.  I am not an organized person but I thought this would be […]

The Elf Belongs on the Top Shelf

We had a minor crisis at the store the other day which could have totally been avoided had someone been thinking. And by “someone” I mean whoever is in charge of putting merchandise on the shelves at stores. The crisis involved Elf on the Shelf (EOTS). You are likely aware of this craze and if […]

I Did Not ‘Red Shirt’ My Kindergartner

In my state, a child can attend Kindergarten if he reaches the age of five before July 31st. My son’s birthday is July 17th and guess what? I did not send him to Kindergarten this past Fall. Would he have been ready? Sure!  Many parents make the case that their kid is ready because they know […]

How I said goodbye to breastfeeding

As a full-time working mom I needed a reliable breastpump to get me through my time away from my kids. I wrote about a hilarious incident in our book, It’s Really 10 Months:  Delivering the truth about the glow of pregnancy and other blatant lies.  It involved me trying to be thrifty and borrowing a […]

Why I Banned the Disney Channel

Before I was a mom I knew with absolute certainty that my children would not be watching television much, if at all. Then I had three kids under three and there were times when I just needed a break from the constant touching and requests for a snack, or sippy cup. No, not the red sippy cup […]
