I love my son with every fiber of my being. I consider how nearly every single one of my actions will impact him. I would give my life for him in a millisecond, without a second thought. But occasionally, I don’t like him very much. Occasionally, I want to run screaming from my house, […]
13 Ways to Say No to Your Kids Without Actually Saying No
No. One little word that we’re tempted to say about a million times a day…that has the power to crush a kid’s spirit. Is that too dramatic? Maybe. But as a parent, it’s ridiculously easy to get into a rut of saying “no,” and that constant negativity isn’t good for anyone. When you say “yes,” […]
17 Things You Can Teach Kids with Leftover Halloween Candy
I don’t know about you, but I have a Halloween-candy problem. As in, it’s here and I’m eating it. And so is my 4-year-old, which—as you know if you’ve ever combined a 4-year-old and an obscene amount of sugar—isn’t a particularly good situation. So, I’m on a mission to do something with all of […]
Today’s Mom Reminder: You Are a Badass
Moms, we should be fearless. For Chrissakes, we grew human beings in our bodies—and then got them out of our bodies. That’s some serious superhero sh*t right there. So why aren’t we bolder? Why aren’t we braver? Why aren’t we louder? Why aren’t we more self-assured? I have no idea, but it’s insane, and […]
13 Everyday Lessons That Fight Rape Culture—and Keep Kids Safe
Rape culture exists. It doesn’t matter if you believe that or not (though it would certainly be nice). It’s just a fact. It’s why people laugh at sexist behavior, shrug and say, “Boys will be boys.” It’s why 1 in 5 female college students are sexually assaulted—and why that number is probably a lot […]
13 Tricks to Make Baby’s 1st Halloween Awesome
Here’s a confession that I’m not at all ashamed about (for a change): I am a Halloween freak. I love spooky stuff. I spend a small fortune on pumpkins. I obsessively collect magazine clippings and pin posts on Pinterest about cute, clever Halloween-inspired food. I decorate my apartment with ghosts that shriek when you walk […]
Friends, We Need to Sleep! (And Here’s How I’m Doing It)
You were up late last night. And the night before. And the night before that. I know, because so was I, and I saw you. Not in a creepy, stalker sort of way, but on Facebook. And on Twitter. And maybe on Instagram and Pinterest, too. What on Earth were we doing up? It […]
How to Entertain an Infant
Babies are adorable and awesome and snuggly. You could spend all day staring at them. And in the beginning, you do. Happily. But then, you realize that you can’t simply stare at them all the time, and for the love of God, what do you do with them all day long? That’s probably the […]
Little Miss Independent Made Mommy Cry
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. […]
Friday Favorites: Vitafive Vitamins and a Coupon for You!
This post contains an affiliate link. I am tired. So tired. I feel like this is kind of redundant because I’m a mom and you know that already. But here’s why I’m bringing it up (again): Because for one full week, I looked great. My skin was glowing, […]
