Spring Break: Then & Now

April 2, 2013

So, it has been a while since I wrote a new post and here’s the simple reason: Spring Break sucked the life out of me. Did I travel? No. Did I take on some huge endeavor? Nope. I was home, with my two kids. And now I need a 12-day nap or a free evaluation at […]

The Dessert Bar Baby

March 20, 2013

During pregnancy, there’s a whole host of resources you can seek out about your unborn child’s development. They really run the gamut. You have the casual, woman-to-woman-insider-advice. You have the straightforward medical stuff. And you also have the more alarmist and stiff guides to pregnancy that would have you wearing a Hazmat suit to get […]

Post-Vacation Adjustment Disorder: Know the Signs

March 18, 2013

  Ohmygod, guess what? Turns out that it’s totally possible to type while pinned under a pile of laundry that can be seen from space. I didn’t think it was — I figured I’d suffocate down here — but I’m pretty psyched to have found this air pocket. That’s pretty much how post-vacation adjustment to […]

I Left Town & Then Crazy, Exciting Things Happened

March 11, 2013

So we’re back from Florida. I have some highlights to share with you, but not just yet. For now, let me just say this: If you’re ever concerned about global warming and want a surefire way to lower your hometown’s average temperature by 20 degrees or so, give me a call. My family and I […]

It’s Vacation — What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

February 27, 2013

We’re pretty excited about going to Disney World in a few days. And while I have been using the word vacation, I think it’s widely understood that the presence of children — even in the world’s happiest fucking place — still does not a vacation make.  Let’s call a spade a spade, because you know […]

Movie Magic: The Distinguished Panel Speaks

February 21, 2013

OK, friends, it’s the home stretch. Three days until the Oscars. I have made huge progress in my personal preparations. And while this may not include trivial things like seeing a single film on the Best Picture roster, I have the big stuff covered.  Meaning, I know exactly which yoga pants I’ll be wearing for […]

2013 Ode to Oscar

February 19, 2013

So the Oscars are nearly here. As a movie lover, this used to be a big event for me.  Before kids.  Before I had no time to go to the movie theater.  Before my TV was taken over by ninjas and princesses instead of very cool on-demand movies.  I used to make a point of seeing […]

A Valentine’s Day Fling

February 12, 2013

Ah, Valentine’s Day is coming. I remember when I used to anticipate this day of love and romance with visions of flowers and candy in my head. I would hope for a beautifully written sentiment in a card. I would maybe even wear something red.  Because, under my snarky exterior, I’m really a sentimental sap […]

Groundhog Day, Motherhood Edition

February 5, 2013

    The dishwasher.  That’s where all the days start and end. Barely awake, waiting for the brewing coffee, I’m unloading the dishwasher first thing in the morning.  And I feel like I was just here. I was.  Six or seven or eight hours earlier.  Right before bed.  That’s when I’m loading it up with […]

Confessions From the Edge of Hoardingtown

January 31, 2013

Are you a hoarder or a purger? I pride myself on being a purger. I ruthlessly throw things away or donate them because clutter drives me batshit crazy.  I torture my husband over the things he likes to keep.  Like those roller blades I have never once seen him wear.  And the boxes of CDs […]
