I hate germs. I realize that no one likes germs, but some of us like them a whole lot less than others. Some of us cringe at the 10-second rule. Some of us panic when our kid picks up another kid’s drooled-on toy or drinks out of someone else’s cup. […]
Reflections on My First Year As a Mom of Two
One month ago, my baby turned 1. How this is possible, I have no idea, because I feel like I was pregnant about half a minute ago. But that’s the crazy thing about being a mom of two, isn’t it? Time flies in the most frightening way possible. Also, excuse my language, but holy […]
Holy Crap, I Have a Toddler
I recently asked the moms on my Facebook page how much longer I could refer to my baby as my baby. When my daughter hit the 11-month mark, I started to get e-mails from baby companies saying that toddlerhood was here, and I balked, saying that it was absolutely not and that I wanted […]
Featured on HuffPo: The Terrifying Thing I Taught My Preschooler
Don’t pick up your sister! This is my refrain. Every morning, afternoon and night. My sweet 4-year-old loves his little sister so much, and it is beyond sweet. I just wish he didn’t want to pick her up all the time. She just turned 1, […]
This Is a Post About Nothing
That headline makes my life sounds like a Seinfeld episode. Some days, it feels like it. Only instead of Kramer, I’ve got a crazy 4-year-old. But it’s about more than just having a preschooler with unruly hair. It’s that there always seems to be nothing going on and everything going on […]

We all want fantastic photos of our kids…and we all feel like we need to drink a vat of wine after trying to get them. After my last attempt at wrangling my two little hellions into a single frame, I thought there had to be an easier way to do this. So I […]
How New Dads Can Help Breastfeeding Moms
We usually think of breastfeeding as falling solely on our shoulders—and a lot of it does, of course. We’re the ones who are up at all hours of the night with a hungry baby. It’s our nipples that are sore and possibly cracked and bleeding. It’s our painfully engorged breasts that leak milk […]
8 Side Effects of Having a Freakishly Tall Kid
I am not tall. I am not short. In fact, I am just about the most average you can get when it comes to height. However, my five-foot-four stature gets totally side-eyed when I tell people how old my son is. To say that he’s a “tall kid” is an understatement. For the record, […]
Moms: It's Time to Change Our Bad Attitudes
The week before last with my kids was a sh*t show. I say that lovingly, because we had a lot of fun and I love them to pieces…but it was a sh*t show, nonetheless. We had most of the week to ourselves, without many scheduled anythings, so it was our opportunity […]
I'm Not Ready for Breastfeeding to Be Over
I sobbed for a full 15 minutes while looking at my daughter this morning. She was playing quietly on her own, and with just one week to go till her 11-month birthday, she suddenly seemed so grown up. In one month, she went from having no teeth to having six […]
