It’s the Fourth of July weekend, and we’re having fun, aren’t we? We’re making red, white and blue cupcakes. We’re going to barbecues and fireworks displays. You’re wearing star-spangled outfits because I just can’t help myself. And we’ve been learning about the significance of the holiday, which is just as important […]
Stop Commenting on My Baby Girl's Body!
Am I taking crazy pills? Because either I’m crazy or everyone else is, and we all know how that usually goes. But really, this time I’m pretty sure it’s not me. Less than a week after I wrote about a little old lady body-shaming my infant daughter, another woman commented […]
Friday Favorites: The BabyBum Brush
Is there anything less fun than changing a dirty diaper? Probably not…but a close second would have to be applying diaper cream to a kid with a diaper rash during the whole process. I can’t fathom how anyone is supposed to navigate this smoothly. Put simply: It is a freaking mess. […]
Why Do Moms Feel Guilty All the Damn Time?
Men don’t ask for what they need. They demand it. If they want to go to the gym, they say, “I’m going to the gym.” If they’re exhausted, they sleep in. Women sheepishly ask for it, then feel bad about asking. It. Is. Ridiculous. Now, before my husband […]
Father’s Day: The Little Bath-Time Routine That Rocks in a Big Way
I’ve always thought that the best relationships are built on the silly little things. Don’t get me wrong: In a marriage or other long-term arrangement, it’s important to agree on the big things, too. But the little things—like what type of wine you like or what kind of music you listen to on a […]

The Three New Baby Products You'll Want Now
You know you’re a mom when you see a really great baby product and you get just as excited as you would over a pair of ridiculously gorgeous shoes. Well, I was all mom this past weekend at the New York Baby Show. Despite yet another kiddie sickness that almost derailed […]
On Rough Parenting Days, Remember This
OK, moms: Sunday marks your 24 hours of appreciation for every nose you wipe, every stuffed-animal tea party you throw and every hour of sleep you lose all year long. Yes, most of us will still be doing a good portion of that on our one day of supposed relaxation. But […]
Why Mom Brain Isn't Necessarily a Bad Thing
Mom brain gets a bad rap. Don’t get me wrong—it drives me nuts most of the time. Oh, who am I kidding? It drives me nuts all of the time. I either feel like I’m in some hazy, half-awake state, or my brain is so overloaded with the things I need […]
