...finding perfection in imperfection daily.
It’s October and you know what that means, it’s time for all the thrills and chills Halloween brings! While corn mazes and pumpkin patches are great activities to get us in the mood for fall, there’s nothing quite like a scary movie to get our blood pumping and our pulses jumping just in time for […]
I have a tween. Thank you for your condolences. My son, Boy Wonder will be turning 10 years old next week, that is if he survives his attitude long enough to make it. What happened to my sweet boy who once thought my loving arms could solve anything? What happened to that little boy who […]
Make no mistake, I love me some pink. With the zest and sparkle of a 5-year-old girl I love pink (just look at my blog!). But why, oh why, did classic superhero costumes have to go all stereotypically girly and get pinkified? Little girls with enough moxie to take on a superheroine this Halloween deserve […]
Sigh, if only school prepared us for living in the real world. If quadratic equations helped us manage our finances or European history helped us choose a spouse, just imagine how good we’d be at life! Sadly, much of what we learn in school, while designed to give us a broad understanding of the world […]
Let’s be honest here, you’re probably thinking, “Yeah right, what can I do in 4.5 minutes that’s going to help my marriage?” I sense the skepticism, friends, but that’s only because I shared the same doubts. But listen, there’s this guy, Jim Fannin who wrote a piece for Esquire on how to improve your marriage […]
f you’ve been reading Babble Kids over the last few weeks you know the blog and the world at large has gone crazy over Buzz’s post Admit It, You Have a Favorite Kid. I Do. I’ve written about having a favorite kid before where I told you my favorite was the one who was bothering […]
If there’s anythingI avoid and generally avoid pretty well, it’s failure. It’s not that I never fail (I wish), it’s more like I’m so afraid to fail that I rarely try things that involve the potential to fail. That’s some kind of living, Mommyfriend! Don’t I know it, friends. So with all my practice not […]
I’ve never been on an airplane with my husband. Nope, not even once. For all 18 years that we’ve been together, we’ve road tripped everywhere. Friends, that’s a lot of miles. And deadmau5. And Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. Oh, the tales I could share from our travels on the open road. But for every bitchin’ duet […]
Listen my friends, there’s been a lot of ahem, discussion around these parts lately about what’s right and wrong in the land of parenting. I just want to say this: Parent your own way. Disagree with others, write your blog comments, and then go back into the world and parent the best way you know […]
So here’s the thing, heterosexual men really like love are obsessed with female breasts. Ladies, since the moment we started stuffing our bras in junior high we’ve known this, but what we didn’t really know was why. They’re boobs, mounds of fleshy flesh that require monthly self-checking, and proper support. What’s the big deal? Two […]
