We’re a little over a month into the new year—normally the time I’d be all gung-ho about a few of my New Year’s resolutions…and on the verge of breaking a few others. I’m talking hypothetically, though, because I decided not to make any this year. I mean, there are plenty of things I could—and […]
Your Problem with My Yoga Pants Isn't My Problem
A quick note to the mom who has stopped wearing yoga pants—and publicly declared it on her blog and on social media—because they can cause lustful thoughts in men: Um, seriously, lady? Granted, this young mom, Veronica Partridge, writes a Christian blog, and she starts off the post by saying that she’s not telling […]
How to Lose Your Mind This Winter in 14 Easy Steps
Winter sucks. Trying to get through winter with a toddler brings new meaning to the concept of suckiness. Sure, it’s awesome to watch your kid play in freshly fallen, powdery snow. And the first real snow day, with no school or work? It turns even the most jaded adult into a third grader again, dreaming […]
The World's Best Gifts: Toddler Giggles and Perspective
My newly minted 3-year-old is in this funny stage where he loves Mommy so much, he occasionally wants to squeeze me to death. I equate it to that thing with babies, where they somehow seem so adorable and impossibly sweet that you just want to (delicately, gently) bite them. I’m not completely nuts—there’s even […]
Me and Lego: Everything Is NOT Awesome
I can’t believe that I’m going to admit this in a public forum, but here goes: I am apparently not as smart as a fifth grader—or a preschooler. I was the valedictorian of my high school class. I took courses like Calculus and Advanced Placement Biology. I finished college a year early, with honors. […]
The Science of Mom Friendship
You know when you meet another mom and suddenly everything is awesome, just like in The Lego Movie? And wait—is that the sound of angels singing the “Hallelujah Chorus” that you hear? OK, maybe I’m being a little dramatic—but really, only just a little. A good mom friend is a partner in crime, someone […]
11 Ways to Annoy Your Toddler for the Holidays
Before I had a kid, I thought that holiday gatherings were all about Santa-shaped cookies and eggnog. About decking the halls, stealing kisses under the mistletoe and feeling all of those warm and fuzzy feelings. And about cocktails—lots of cocktails. Silly me. Now that I have a kid, I know the true purpose of […]
The Holidays: Then and Now
If there’s one indisputable fact about motherhood, it’s that kids change everything. The holidays are no exception. When you have kids, you can practically hear the pitter-patter of reindeer feet on your roof. Santa is alive, well and magical. There are tons of cookies, impossibly cute baby outfits and handmade toddler ornaments for the […]
Reminder: Why Moms Can't Have Nice Things
My son has ruined television for me. Which really sucks, because I really like television. I realize that probably makes me sound lame, but it’s the truth. I like to curl up on the couch, computer in my lap (yep, that’s me, right now), writing and screwing around on the Internet. I grew up […]
Help! The Holidays Are Coming!
Pumpkin pie. Special time with your loved ones. Insanely cute turkey-themed onesies. Seeing the holidays through the wide, amazed eyes of your baby. Your baby’s picture-perfect outfit—and the nearby wall—covered in pumpkin pie. Family members questioning your choice to give pumpkin pie to your baby. Your baby’s refusal to eat anything other than pie now […]
