Well…it’s Sunday. And what do we do on Sundays? Can I get a high five for football and grocery shopping??!! And by football and grocery shopping, I don’t mean that we are tossing the pigskin down the aisles, I mean that OB is watching football and the girls and I are trying to make it…
I know, it sounds crazy and I am here to tell you that it is! Parenting is no joke. These tiny little people demand three meals a day, every day, plus snacks and various drinks in between. And let’s talk about the drinks. Children are very careless and inexperienced at normal life things like drinking…
Backed into a corner! That’s where I found myself this afternoon. I was out with the family, not expecting anything life-changing to occur. We’d just had a blast at the playground and then stopped at Panera for lunch. I had wanted to take the kids to one of the shops a few doors down from Panera,…
“So why you are here today?” This is what my Dr. has said to me every single time she’s walked into the room where I’m patiently sitting at the edge of the paper covered bed, trying not to wrinkle the paper too badly. Every time for the last 14 years. Or so. Oh and I should…

We spent last Saturday with OB’s family and both girls fell asleep on the car ride home. This is a really rare occasion and it was very unusual for OB and I to actually be able to carry on a conversation together without interruptions. Without, “Mommy? Mommy? Mommy? What was I going to say?”. Without, “Mommy, what did…
In order to prevent anyone from having the false impression that I have it all together just because I am never more than an hour late for work and always make it in with mascara and a ponytail, am an expert on all things Bravo and am basically a professional cooker of pot roast, today I…
Why is it that whether I put my kids to bed at 7:30 or at 10:00, they still wake up at the same time? I should be able to put my kids to bed at 10:00 on a Friday and have them sleep until at least noon on Saturday, right? Wrong. Because kids know that we grow weaker…
