Raise your hand if you’re worried that summer’s going by way too quickly and you haven’t done enough with your kids. Yes, there’s camp and the pool and family barbecues, but as fun as it may be, there’s still a certain grind to all of that. You get up, you’re on the go, you’re shuttling […]
Bigger Kids, Bigger Problems? A Big Yes!
The idea of having teenagers has always freaked me out. If I’m being completely honest, it’s the reason that I wasn’t sure I wanted to have kids in the first place. The thought of dealing with a tornado of hormones, opinions and eye rolls, coupled with a hefty dose of that delightfully adolescent “I’m always […]
I’m Pretty Sure the Universe Is Laughing at Me Right Now
These days, I can’t decide if I should laugh or cry. I usually go with laughter because it’s just a better alternative. Plus, I am not a pretty crier. (I am also not one of those lucky women who glistens when they sweat, but that’s a whole other conversation.) This laughter-over-crying thing applies to so […]
Summer’s Not Over Yet! Here’s What to Do with the Kids in August
I don’t know about you, but I always have really high hopes for the summer. Not only is it a time for everyone (including me!) to decompress a little, but it’s also a time for kids to grow in other ways, discover their passions, and just have some good, old-fashioned fun. It’s also a time […]
Thank You, Ms. Marvel!
We are a superhero family. Of course, all moms are supermoms—myself included on a good (or bad) day—but that’s not quite what I mean in this instance. I mean that we are completely obsessed with superhero movies in our house. I have pretty much insisted that my children, now 10 and 7, get a proper […]
Holiday Shopping Made Easy
It may be the most wonderful time of the year, but I’ve yet to meet a person who says it’s the easiest time of the year. Actually, let me rephrase that: I’ve yet to meet a mom who says that. It usually falls on us to secretly don our Santa hats late at night—and before the kids […]
The Kids Are Heading Back to School—And You Need a Plan
I think I can speak for all parents when I say: OMG, this year! Nothing has been easy about parenting in a pandemic, and things are about to get even harder. Welcome to back-to-school season 2020, where every decision is fraught with more stress than any of us ever imagined was possible. Is it safe […]
And the Award for the Worst Mother in a Pandemic Goes to…
I have never felt like a worse mother than I have in the last few weeks. And as we round out five full weeks in self-isolation, it’s only getting worse. It’s ironic, because I originally started Momsanity to make sure moms didn’t compare themselves to other mothers and to know they were doing a good […]
Gifts in the Nick of Time!
It’s that time of the year again…when you’re rushing around like a crazy person and trying to finish up your holiday shopping in addition to, you know, living your life and working and taking care of the kids and everything else. Well, there’s no need to panic or to stress. I partnered with some amazing […]
The Magic of the Holidays Is in the Mistakes
I set my oven on fire this Thanksgiving. I’ve been going back and forth about whether or not to share this. On one hand, it was such an enormous fail, it was kind of funny. I mean, once I realized the fire was completely contained in the oven, the bird itself wasn’t on fire, and […]
