As a blogger/writer/whatever you want to call me as long as it’s nice, I get a lot of inspiration from other bloggers. What they say, what they’re feeling. When they’re strong enough to step forward, it oddly gives me a sense of strength. & AllisonO hit the nail on the head of something that’s been [...]

There are a lot of things wrong with this world. I know it. Medicare is a clusterfark, people still eat McDonald’s, & Target is always out of the nail polish color that I want. But y’all? There is a post on YouTube with little girls gyrating to “Single Ladies.” I almost posted it on my [...]

om nom nom nom….you hear that? It’s the sound of moms eating moms. Like the vulture I saw on the side of the rode. Eating poor Bambi that didn’t have the vertical leap needed to clear the car. ::sad vom face:: I’m not talking your typical “Mommy Wars.” I’m so not talking boob versus bottle, [...]

If you are a “mommy blogger,” a SITS girl, or peruse the New York Times then you have undoubtedly seen this article. “Honey, Don’t Bother Mommy. I’m Too Busy Building My Brand.” My response? EFF YES, I AM. Mixed in with DON’T GO THERE, JENNIFER MENDELSOHN. I could go into the actual article itself, which [...]

About a month ago (I think, I’m really not good at keeping track of time!), I participated in a survey facilitated by TheBump.com and ForbesWoman.com regarding the working mother. Appropriate, right? & then earlier this week, Jacalyn from The Bump contacted me about the survey, asking if I would act as a spokesperson and/or blog [...]

Let’s put this bluntly – having a baby is like watching Britney Spears shave her head with crazy eyes & then ram an umbrella into an SUV at a gas station. Remember how you felt? Helpless, humored, confused, & shocked with a massive dose of “WTF IS GOING ON HERE, PEOPLE?!?!” yeah. That’s what happens [...]

& an undoubtedly controversial post. One that I may likely regret posting, but feel it is fair to address since I was shocked to find I was not the only mother that felt this way. Last week, a girlfriend of mine & I sat down to chat babies. We were discussing the ins & outs [...]

more than celery with effing peanut butter & raisons (it’s not cute, camp counselors) — knowing that I might be a crack in the heart for another woman out there.
