Holiday Shopping Made Easy

November 16, 2020 By: Dawn Yanekcomment

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…

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

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 […]

The Best Ways to Feed Your Kid’s Dinosaur Obsession

The Best Ways to Feed Your Kid’s Dinosaur Obsession

When my kids were little and before we moved to the ’burbs, the Museum of Natural History on Manhattan’s Upper West Side was our home away from home. We were lucky. We lived just nine blocks from the museum, and we went there when it was too rainy, too cold, too hot, or just too […]

Today Is the Day That Everything Changes

Today Is the Day That Everything Changes

Today is the first day of school, and I have a lot of…feelings. It’s nothing new, of course. Parents always experience an avalanche of emotions on this big day, and they range from anxiety to excitement, sadness to elation. I’m no different, though maybe a little more neurotic. But this year, I don’t know…it feels […]

Letting Kids Be Bored Is Anything But Boring

Letting Kids Be Bored Is Anything But Boring

“I’m bored.”  Two little words that strike fear in the hearts of parents everywhere. There is little worse than a super whiny child who’s just soooooo bored. He wants TV! He wants video games! He wants a plan! He wants you to entertain him! I’m not going to lie: I give in…a lot. I certainly […]

9 Mom Fails That Are Actually Mom Wins

It says a lot about the state of modern parenting when it’s hard to get to the end of the day without feeling like you failed at something. And while we all laugh at mom-fail memes in the light of day, even the most minor mom fails have a way of feeling enormous and all-consuming […]

The Knack Pack: The Solution to Carrying All Your Kids’ Stuff

The Knack Pack: The Solution to Carrying All Your Kids’ Stuff

There’s one thing that people didn’t warn us about before we had kids: all the stuff. Oh, sure, we knew about it in some aspects of parenting life: We saw the ever-growing list of must-haves on a registry and did our best to pare that down, and of course, we knew about the perils of […]
