We are entering a new stage in our household: independent play in our rooms. To those of you with older kids, this probably doesn’t sound like a big deal. For those of you with kids younger than my 3 yr. old and 5 yr. old, your mind is blown, “How does this even happen?!?” But […]
The Failure
I spent most of last week convinced of my own total ineptitude. You know how it looks when everything someone touches turns to gold? Think the exact opposite of that and you’re hanging with me in my week. On Monday, I got lost on my way to the public library, panicked, was terribly late to […]

OneDay Valentine Stars
My kids are at really cute ages. So many times I wish I could bottle up their 5 yr.old-ness and 3 yr. old-ness and keep it forever. Not saying they won’t do cute things in the years to come, but I find it pretty magical when my son explains the reason his girlfriend likes him […]
The Mom that You Are
I’m not shy about not being particularly good at this kid thing. I love mine, of course. And sometimes I even enjoy kids’ activities and playdates, but in general, I’m a flop at understanding what to do with the younger set. This bothers me. It’s the kind of thing you feel weird discussing with others, because […]
When a Mommy Is Cool
Let me be clear: I am not cool. I have never been cool. Nope, I’m solidly of the band-geek variety. Even in my 30s, which is impressive, as I haven’t picked up an instrument in about 15 years. But while I’m sitting over here, stewing in my own nerdiness, I realize that I am uncool […]
Parenthood is Ending and I’m Shamelessly Bawling
Tomorrow night is the end of an era. A very sweet era. Parenthood, the show that has captured us for six seasons is bidding its adieu. I love the show. With passion. Because it is the perfect blend of heart and the aching humor that is a too true testament to the realness of this life. Because it nails the pain, […]
The Ambiguous School Fundraiser
Silly Mommy thought she had met her match in the fall through the school picture order form. Isn’t the naivete of a first-time Kindergarten mom precious? As it turns out, there was a far greater evil in store, lurking for me in these bleak winter months, a powerful force popularly known as The School Fundraiser. This […]
Save Me from this Winter Plague!
I’d chance it to say that winter and I are developing a non-compatible relationship. While the freezing temps, icy roads, and endless cabin fever are adorable in and of themselves, it’s their accompanying plague of sickness that thrills me less. The past two years, we’ve been hit, and hit hard. There was last Christmas in […]
