...finding perfection in imperfection daily.
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 […]

They’re boobs, mounds of fleshy flesh that require monthly self-checking, and proper support. What’s the big deal? Two […]
I’m no stranger to the peril and personal freedom of staying home alone as a child. As a latchkey kid from about the age of 9, the first thing I’d do when I got home from school was search the kitchen for the best junk food I could find before settling in to do my homework […]
Dear Dr. Lady Parts, As I sit here on the noisy paper lining of your exam table, I’m unable to think about anything but the two very thin, very low thread count sheets covering my very naked, very cold body. I know I don’t write, I don’t call, but I’m here now for my annual […]
At the risk of embarrassing Boy Wonder any more than I already have as a mom blogger, I’ve taken to this post to reveal that he wet the bed until he was nearly 9 years old. I tell you this because bedwetting happens to older children and yet it’s something parents don’t talk like to […]
In love, is there really such thing as “the one”? The romantics among us would like to think so. Who doesn’t appreciate the idea of that rare and wonderful person who stands above all others and ”gets you” in a way no one else ever could? That person you meet and swear you’ve not only […]
