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, […]
My Summer Bucket List: One Month to Go!
It has recently come to my attention that summer will be over before I know it. I’m not sure why this feels like such a surprise to me, but it does. And at the risk of sounding like a petulant 4-year-old, I’M NOT READY!!! That said, since I don’t have the time (or the floor […]
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 […]
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 […]
