[Image credit] I gave birth to Boy Wonder naturally and I’m here to tell you crowning isn’t called “the ring of fire” for nothing. After my tour of delivery duty I jokingly told Big Daddy P I deserved something shiny. Childbirth is seriously hard work but are moms deserving of a “push present” for the […]

I recently had me a little huge booby scare (little boobies, big scare) and wound up with double diagnostic mammograms and ultrasounds. It was really scary. I prayed a lot. I was impatient. I kept it off my blog. I am thankful to report that my boobies are healthy and I have taken my first deep breath in nearly […]

Little BooBoo’s birthday is approaching and I had planned to host a good old-fashioned backyard birthday party. It was going to be a relatively modest affair with family, close friends and his little preschool classmates. I started the guest list and before I had even finished adding our inner circle of friends and family I was at 42 people. […]

[Image credit] I can only assume my previous post was to blame for the epic and unprecedented 3rd grade anxiety shown by Boy Wonder last Sunday. If I didn’t know better, I would have thought this kid was dead man walking. As I tucked him into bed and wished him good luck on his first day at […]

[Image credit] I gave away the baby stuff, every last trace of it. It’s like I never had a baby (or two). Little BooBoo is nearly 3 years old and moving into the glorious and bittersweet age of self-sufficiency. I no longer have to carry a 50 pound diaper bag wherever I go, I’m back to […]

[Image credit] I happen to believe the pregnant belly is one of those things that is just so adorable I have to grit my teeth, hard. I’m guessing you agree. But what about the bare baby bump? Equally adorable or just plain tacky? I posted an article on another website with a picture of a […]

[Image credit] I’m not a fan of hating on my fellow mothers, maybe with the exception of Gisele but her perfection had it coming. The only other mom I really struggle with being nice to Nadya Suleman. I think she has problems, big octo-problems. I think she is obviously in way over her head caring for her 14 children. […]

[Image credit] Somewhere along the way, the term “MILF” became not only a socially acceptable compliment but something that required advertising. I just don’t get it. You know what else I don’t get? Why on earth the acronym MILF would ever belong on a onesie. [Image credit] Something about that is just not right. Do I […]

[Image credit] “Meet the Teacher Day” is next Friday, the last official day of summer vacation before school starts. It’s a great idea, Boy Wonder gets to meet his teacher, get familiar with his classroom and find out who is in his class all before the first day of school. All of this prep work […]

We say our kids grow up so fast, I think I’ve figured out why. Many infant and toddler apparel companies have begun selling skinny jeans. Because babies and toddlers need skinny jeans. In fact, they demand them because that diaper adds a little too much junk in the trunk. Baby skinny jeans [Image Credit] Toddler skinny jeans [Image credit] And then Heelarious came […]
