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 […]
To the Little Old Lady Who Body-Shamed My Infant Daughter
I’m probably going to go straight to hell for this, but I had an overwhelming urge to punch a little old lady in the face the other day. I mean, just because she was a little old lady, it doesn’t mean that she wasn’t being an a-hole. And from a protective mama’s perspective, […]
Friday Favorites: Baby Bargains…and Finding the Best Baby Products
I’m pretty sure there’s nothing that moms like better than recommending baby products that they love to expecting parents. Well, aside from an actual adorable, snuggly baby.

The Olympics are making me see red right now. No, not red, white and blue. Just red. Why? Four little letters and one huge disease: Zika. And I want to scream another four-letter word at the International Olympic Committee and the World Health Organization for saying that “there is no […]

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 […]

Organize Your Life in One Weekend!
Kids are a whirlwind. If you’re a parent, I don’t need to tell you that. But I may need to remind you that you’re not the only one who occasionally gets lost in the craziness and lets the little things slide. And I’m not just saying that because my son accidentally ended […]
