Don’t mess with Mama Bear. While my eldest is of the smaller persuasion, he is made up of plenty of moxie and sass to compensate. But even all the gumption in the world couldn’t stop a gang of hardcore first graders from trying to get their fight on with my boy. As few days prior to […]
Reality Bites: Mama’s Boy
February 26, 2010 3 Comments
Queen of hearts Not so long ago, I was everything. I was idolized and larger than life to my eldest son when he was nearly 6 years old. Imagine having your personal fan club president as a member of your household? Honestly, in between all of his normal boy activities, my eldest would stop to pay me […]
The Outsider
February 20, 2010 5 Comments
I have always been a personable gal. Growing up, I was continuously busted in the classroom for talking too much and committing countless social crimes which have made me the Mommy Friend I am today. As easy as it has always seemed for me to make friends, when it came to making friends at my […]
Reality Bites: Good Hair
February 20, 2010 4 Comments
Color, the way nature and my colorist intended I am a practical Mommy Friend. I don’t carry expensive handbags or have a gargantuan wedding ring. I clip coupons, shop for sales and remain scared as hell of Suze Orman. The only thing I can justify spending ridiculous money to maintain is my hair. I have to […]

[Image: Canopymanagement.com} I was at Target yesterday with the fam and we passed by these adorable bottles of wine, just perfecto for Valentine’s Day. Could you love this little label any more? [Image: Intoxicology.wordpress.com] A wine celebrating monogamy, just too cute and worthy of a pic and a share in my opinion. Happy Valentine’s Day […]
Reality Bites: Band-Aids

[Image: 47project.com] It’s true, kids hurt themselves a lot. As a Mommy Friend, you surely dole out your share of band-aids for legitimate use. Much to my chagrin, lately it seems I have been dispensing them for recreational use. Unfortunately my kids have developed an obsession with band-aids and I don’t even buy the fun ones! At my house, […]
Reality Bites: Handprints
February 10, 2010 5 Comments
Little handprints can be found on every glass surface of my house. This weekend I finally got around to dusting the glass coffee table and within seconds, like a trick candle, those little handprints appeared again. I had turned my back for a split second only to find Little BooBoo making his mark yet again on […]
Discriminating Taste

Come to Mommy? Please? I had lunch today with a fellow Mommy Friend and we got to talking about her 18 month old son. She was horrified to admit that her son didn’t seem to like older people because he cried whenever they were around. Could that be? Was her son really engaging in preferences […]
Reality Bites: The Sippy Cup
February 6, 2010 5 Comments
Could there BE any more pieces?Ever look at a product and wish it had more pieces? Me neither. There is no denying it, the engineering that goes into the no-spill, no-drip sippy cup is a wonderment. The sippy cup also happens to be one of the more complicated contraptions used by toddlers. Of course by the […]
Out of the Closet

Seriously? By the end of your pregnancy, you are pretty much over your maternity clothes which have been in heavy rotation over the last 25 weeks. You have worn the same 4 outfits every 4 days and by this time, they (and you) have seen much better days. It is my sincere hope that my […]
