Slice-of-life stories about parenthood
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms, grandmas and great grandmas out there! I was thinking of making a footprint butterfly for each of you, but since being pregnant with Pink, my foot doesn't fit on a piece of construction paper anymore. It's the thought that counts anyways, right? I have a couple of Mother's Day inspired posts still to come this week, but in the meantime, a bit of everyday fun. … [Read more...]
It was such a packed week, I couldn't help but throw in a couple bonus lessons. … [Read more...]
I hate to admit it, but one of my go-to lines with the kids is, "I'm doing all of this nice stuff for you and you act like this?" Well, no more Mrs. Nice Mom. All the fighting and sass landed my kids (and me) in Spring Break Mommy Bootcamp. Read more at Circle of Moms. … [Read more...]

And while he's not as cuddly as he used to be, he's always finding a new way to put a smile on my face (and a roll in my eyes, of course). … [Read more...]
I'd love to write more, but as about 40 of my Facebook friends have so kindly reminded me, Mad Men is back tonight. (Play it cool, play it cool...YYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYYY!!! Hmm, I'm so not cool.) … [Read more...]
