I have managed to stroll one child and hand-hold another while balancing a cake, a purse and a diaper bag…in heels. I am exceptional, I am a mother. I know how to predict and curb a tantrum (hey, it happened once). I am never without a stash of snacks or band-aids. I can fashion a sling out […]
Reality Bites: Designer Diapers
July 14, 2010 16 Comments
[Image credit] Designer diapers are a new phenomenon I find truly baffling. Last I checked, diapers were intended to collect poop and pee until potty training; when did they become outerwear? While I remain a true believer in stylish functionality as much as the next Mommy Friend, designer diapers still leave me wondering…why? I can’t speak […]
The Big Boy Bed

Mommy Friends, it was time. Had it not been for the birth of my newborn nephew to whom we had promised Little BooBoo’s crib, my baby boy may have just stayed in his crib forever. I’ve written before about the deeper meanings of parting with the baby stuff. I’d be lying if I didn’t say that […]

I happened to come across a fun morphing website and I just had to see what they thought a child between Big Daddy P and I would look like. Since I already have 2 fine examples, I was interested in just how close the morphing of our 2 faces would be compared to our kids. + = Me […]
What Makes Me a Theta Mom
June 27, 2010 14 Comments
Theta Mom, personal blogging hero and friend posed the question to her readers, “What makes you proud to be a Theta Mom?” I thought about it, and thought about it, and then I thought some more. This is what I discovered: I have a very real and personal fear of failure. I would have never embarked on […]

The Waiting is the Hardest Part
June 22, 2010 6 Comments
[Image Credit] I am a certifiable expert in the way of pediatrician visits. Little BooBoo has been seen a record number of 12 times so far this year alone for a variety of toddlery things. Of the dozen visits this year, I come back to the same gripe which I like to call “the waiting […]

[Image Credit] Did you know this Father’s Day marks the 100th anniversary of celebrating dads on this special day? A thoughtful daughter came up with the idea while listening to a Mother’s Day sermon in 1909. A year later she chose to hold the first Father’s Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the 19th of June, […]

Stage Mom

[Image Credit] I always told myself that no matter how adorable or talented my kids grew to be, I would never become a card-carrying member of the Stage Mom Society. Never say never because this was going to be harder than I thought. I fight stage mom tendencies like nothing you have ever seen. You […]
