I knew that once my son was born, my life would change in all sorts of ways. I mean, how could it not? And just like every other mom-to-be on the planet, I made mental lists of things that I would and wouldn’t do: I would get the sleep thing under control quickly. I wouldn’t […]
Hey, Girl: It’s OK to Wear Sweatpants
Lesson of the week: Do not get between a mom and her sweatpants. Eva Mendes learned this the hard way after making the following comment: “You can’t do sweatpants. No, ladies! Number one cause of divorce in America: Sweatpants. Of course, after the fact, she said she was joking, and her hottie—er, I mean, her […]
Why I Took My Son to See Cinderella
So, why did I take my 3-year-old son to see Cinderella? Because he wanted to see it. It’s that simple. Every time we saw a commercial for it or walked by our local movie theater, with its huge poster displayed in the window, he’d ask: “Can we go to see that?” And how […]
Should a 6-Year-Old Have to Use the Men's Room by Himself?
There’s been a lot of potty talk lately. And it’s not just because I have a 3-year-old. First there was Ashton “Dude, Where’s My Changing Table?” Kutcher, talking about the pathetic lack of changing tables in men’s restrooms. And rightly so. And now, there’s the whole brouhaha over the makeshift sign in an […]
Flat Martini and Momsanity Take Manhattan!
Flat Stanley needs no introduction. Flat Martini might, since he’s usually passed out somewhere after a vodka-and-olives bender and has a tendency to miss the kid-friendly, daylight hours. But he’s a riot, and I was happy to host this boozy little visitor on his world tour for the awesome site Martinis and Minivans. Let’s […]
I'm Totally Jealous of This Mom…and You Will Be, Too (Sorry!)
Envy isn’t an attractive quality in a mom—or in any human being. I try to avoid it, and I catch myself when I’m jealously eyeing the way some random stranger fits into a pair of skinny jeans that look terrible on me, but it’s tough sometimes. In my non-mom-blogger alternate reality, I’m an actor, […]
10 Parenting Rules That'll Keep You Sane
Sometimes life gets the better of you. You’re exhausted, stressed, pulled in 28 different directions and bombarded by kiddie germs, and you need a proverbial—or literal—reboot. I certainly needed one this week…and then I found this post, which I wrote a few months ago. It’s kind of cool when you stumble upon something […]
What I Learned at Ski School
I wrote this two weeks ago when I was in Colorado. What took me so long to post it? Combine the vacation time with a much-worried-about solo flight with my son, getting back to the daily grind, a sick dog and a 3-year-old with the stomach flu, and things got…postponed. But it seemed like […]
What Kind of Mom Are You?
When it comes to parenting, I’m weirdly confident. I consider it weird because I tend to second-guess so much else in my life. But I know that my heart is in the right place when it comes to my son, and even when he’s acting like a little beast, I have the presence of […]
5 Things People Look Like They’d Rather Do Than Get on a Plane with My Kid
I get it. Once upon a time, I was you. You see a kid under 5 about to sit near you on an airplane and you panic. You don’t know if the kid’s going to scream non-stop and kick your seat for the next four hours and if his parents are a-holes who won’t do […]
