Tonight was unusual. My husband watched the kids and I went to the library alone. I didn’t have a plan, just wandered around. I came across a book called, “Comeback Moms” and I got through most of it tonight (thanks to a stop at Starbucks for a venti cafe mocha!).
I thought this was a very […]

I don’t use a lot of Suave products currently, but I love, love, love their commercial with the cycle of a woman’s life (engaged, married, pregnant, kid, kid, chaos, etc.). It hit the nail on the head for portraying how your priorities change when you have kids. I hate to say I’m too busy to […]

Over the summer, many movie theaters offer free or discounted movies for kids. Even though I don’t often like to take the kids out into public places, these summer movies are usually cartoons rated G or PG, and are designed specifically for kids - so you don’t have to worry, because you’re surrounded by other […]

Definition: frantically searching on hands and knees, flipping cushions, shaking out blankets, etc. trying to locate the finite number of pacifiers that “must be somewhere in here.”
In the same category as “The Lost Sock and the Laundry,” the binkies (paci’s or other cute name), have a fabulous way of getting lost. We have a pretty […]

When I was pregnant with my 2nd, I didn’t figure I would get many gifts when she was born. I had all of the baby gear from the first that I would be using again. Yes, this one was going to be a girl and the first was a boy, but I really felt like […]

If you don’t have a portable DVD player*, get one! We take occasional 3 hour trips to see family, so it seemed like a good investment at the time. We figured we would use it to entertain our son in the car.
Well, we do use it on trips, but it has also been great to […]

My daytime TV consists of “Dawson’s Creek” reruns and, until quite recently, “The View.” The rest of the day, I’m not that interested. Now with Rosie gone from “The View,” I may not watch it. :( I really enjoyed her on the show and found it to be my version of “water cooler chat.” They […]

My son is 2. I know, 2 year olds are mischievous little creatures. They love to explore and try new things. In a way, it is a very noble way to live: no fear, full speed ahead.
As a mother, however, it is terrifying!!! Since the whole catbite-stitches fiasco a few weeks ago, I swear […]

An interesting story about a mom…
Lincoln, Nebraska - Police ticketed a 39-year-old woman this week after she allegedly drove seven kids to a teacher’s home to toilet paper it. A seventh-grade English teacher at Pound Middle School told police that over the weekend, the outside of her house, yard, trees and driveway were vandalized with toilet […]

Some moms are good about taking their kids everywhere. Good for them. If they can handle the extra work and the unpredictable situations that occur, I say bravo.
I realize that while I do try to take my kids out and about, there are a lot of places that I will be avoiding until the kids […]
