I am super excited that one of my posts has been selected to be featured on Aiming Low’s “Three Day Weekend” (it will be up tomorrow). I practically had to threaten bribe the Aiming Low girls, but they came to their senses and recognized true genius and wit when they saw it. I call the women over at [...]

Toga Party in my living room

There is a battle going on at my house. It’s waged in our living room every night. In this epic struggle – which pits my husband against our two kids – I am thrilled to say that I am a happy bystander. It’s like watching gladiators duke it out on the coliseum floor  – I observe, comment [...]

I’ve been a bad, bad blogger. Forgive me, dear readers, for I have sinned. It’s been 12 days since my last post. I know what you are thinking: “What could be more important than providing highly entertaining posts for my mom all my thousands of loyal readers on a daily basis?” I won’t try to [...]

Tampon logic

Posted in Mommahood, tagged , , , on October 1, 2009 | 13 Comments »

Here’s something they don’t tell you how to deal with in parenting books – what do you say to your 5-year old son when he goes rummaging through your purse and pulls out a tampon, then holds it up inquisitively and looks at you and asks, “Mommy, what is this for?” This happened to me [...]
