How you doin’? I have a cute husband; he is kind, baby-faced and in great physical shape. I also have cute kids, like really. Now I know your man and your kids are cute too, like really, so stay with me here. In complex mathematical terms, this is how I see the equation: Cute Daddy Friend + […]

[Image credit] Let me tell you a little story about Gary. Gary was my eldest son’s first pet and he was a Betta fish who lived alone. Apparently Betta fish have to live alone because they have this nasty little habit of killing each other, but that’s neither here nor there. My son loved Gary, […]
My Kids are Making Me Fat

The title says it all. Every time my kids eat one of these: I eat one of these: Hello lover. No matter how hard I try to deny myself at the McDonald’s drive thru I ultimately succumb to temptation. See, I used to be a lot stronger…or more selfish, well, you decide. Back when my will […]
My Rookie Mistake

[Image Credit] Somewhere between my first and second child I abandoned radical parenting and the world (or at least my kids) breathed a collective sigh of relief. I was all up in my eldest’s developmental biz from the time he was born. I was busy filling his days with tummy time, music time, reading time […]
Where the Wild Things Are

Like a lot of Mommy Friends, I crave a peaceful home environment and we all know life with children isn’t exactly conducive to such cravings. I’ve said it a million times before, in my house there’s either laughter or tears with very little in between. I’m starting to wonder if “nice play” is a child […]

I’ve decided my boys will be going to college on full scholarship. Making this decision has relieved me from a lot of the pressure that goes along with worrying about their college fund so I’m glad the idea occurred to me. Since scholarships are not lottery-based, it seems they need to be earned the old-fashioned way, by […]

Pretty much everyone I ever met is pregnant right now and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I admitted my personal Pregnancy Addiction last week and I was really relieved to learn I wasn’t alone. You just saved me thousands in therapy, whew! Since I’ve got this handy little blog which is just great for broadcasting […]

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but handmade gifts are a mom’s best friend. There is nothing as special as a handmade craft or picture made by your child. I cherish every handprint, footprint, macaroni necklace and glittery card made with smeared ink and misspelled words. The thoughtful care our children put into these […]
The Women Rules

You’ve got a big butt and I cannot lie. Children are the most honest creatures you will ever meet. Let me preface that by saying children are the most honest creatures you will ever meet about the things that won’t get them in trouble…or at least the things they think won’t get them in trouble. […]
Pregnancy Anonymous

[Image:newbiemommy.com] Since I am obviously not a licensed psychiatrist, I am the last Mommy Friend who should be dishing out psychiatric diagnosis of any kind. Self-diagnosis however, is a whole different ball game I have been practicing for years. I have decided I suffer from Pregnancy Addiction, if there even is such a thing. So […]
