I’d always had suspicions that my children were the result of egg donations my husband had secretly implanted in my uterus (it’s better not to think about how this would be logistically possible). They both have blue eyes and my daughter has red hair. My husband’s features are all around dark and I’m a strong brown-eyed dark […]
Not a Kid Person
Yes, for my children, I will chaperon field trips…gleefully, of course 😉 The other night I got to meet up with 3 friends for dinner. One has young kids, one is in the process of adopting and one is not yet copping up to any immediate plans. We were hashing out our fabulous lives and […]
Guest Blogger: Shara from Wife to Mom
Shara was so kind as to feature me on her blog, Wife to Mom last week and now I am so lucky that she is posting for me this week! Read on, my friends, because I seriously snorted out loud while reading this. She is hysterical and so spot on 🙂 Shara rocks it out […]
Cleaning
I hate cleaning. Loathe it. Will put it off for forever. I could do laundry or wash dishes until I am blue in the face, but cleaning…not so much. A couple days ago though, I decided to embrace my inner Mom of the Year and go for it. It went well. My son started rolling […]
What to Expect While You Are Expecting: The Monday Review
Who has not heard of this franchise? Okay, my father claimed he hadn’t, but I told him this was impossible as it has been out for decades. Heidi Murkoff first rolled out the book What to Expect While you are Expecting in 1984. Since then, there have been multiple editions and the follow-up books What […]
An Ideal Mother’s Day
There are a couple of factors combining to make this Mother’s Day Not The Most Fun. My sister and I took a vote and decided that if we could scratch one day from the calendar this year, it would be Mother’s Day. As it is the first one we are going motherless and grandmotherless, we’re […]
I Am Jealous of My Son’s Eyelashes
I am. They are full, dark and long. When he gets a really good cry going, they positively glisten and become the embodiment of ethereal beauty. Where did these lashes come from? Is my 2 yr. old secretly dosing Latisse during naptime? If so, where does he get it from? I always thought that 3 yr. old […]
Boys and Girls are Different
Elyse, channeling her inner Audrey Hepburn… They just are. My children are only 9 mo. and 2 yrs., but I can already see it. True, this is in no way a scientific observation, as I am comparing only one child against another, both from the same family, but…My husband and I already notice behavioral differences […]
Just Relax and Breathe Deeply
Won’t lie–in general I’m a huge non-fan of taking children along to appointments. It’s stressful, time-consuming and usually ends with at least 2 of us in tears. Even dragging them along to their pediatrician appointments seems excessive at times. Unfortunately, with no preschool yet on the scene, we are blessed to be able to rock […]
Carters: The Children’s Clothing Store From Which We Are Now Banned
I love Carter’s. Fantastic place. Adorable, sweet, comfy clothes for kids. In my head, a recent errand run would entail a quick run into the outlet store to return some of the items I ordered for my growing daughter online (Beware: when it says “pink” online, it may actually mean “a blinding neon hue that […]
