Well, to my credit, I didn’t actually cry…but I came close. I took my 13-month-old daughter to a mommy-and-me music class last Thursday. We had taken one in the spring, and it was such a lovely bonding time—just the two of us, without big brother siphoning off any of the attention. […]
Parenting: Irony, Puke and Silver Linings
Less than an hour after I hit “publish” on a post about unexpectedly perfect parenting days, my daughter started puking. And she kept puking for the rest of the night. I got maybe two hours of sleep, and for a full 24 hours, our apartment reeked of an unholy combination of […]
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 […]
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 […]
To My Little Loves on July 4th: Don't Get Any Ideas
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 […]
