Who Invited Cancer to the Party?

October 22, 2015

As Breast Cancer Awareness Month continues, I’m sure that we have all heard and read many personal accounts of what this means to different families and how they have been affected by this disease. In a million years, I never thought I’d have to add my dear friend Rebecca to this group of women.   […]

Summer Goal Failures

September 7, 2015

Well, hey there! I think we can kick this post right off with the obvious failure of keeping tumbleweeds off of my blog. It appears that I haven’t posted in about two months, which is a new low for me. And it’s not that I haven’t had anything to say – trust me. But apparently I was […]

She’s Six

July 8, 2015

Last night, I put my daughter to bed and reminded her that it was her final night to be a five year-old. Of course, she already knew this, as her birthday countdown has been going on seemingly for months (that’s genetics at work, right there). She was, like most nights, engaged in a long internal debate […]

Is it Still Baby Weight Two Years Later?

June 26, 2015

  I think we can all agree that the following topics are not in my blog wheelhouse: -Tutorials -Advice -How-to posts of any kind (with one exception: How to Lose Your Will to Live at the DMV). That’s because, apparently, I’m an expert in pretty much nothing. That being said, I’m going to venture into […]

June, You’re Killing Me a Little

June 17, 2015

Oh, June. Juuuuuune. You are so full of promise, with your (mostly) warm temps, extended daylight hours and quickly approaching end of the school year. But we have a few issues to sort out first, if we’re going to hang out together in the future. Ceremonies: Whether it’s an actual graduation or a dance recital […]

The Last Second Birthday

June 12, 2015

Last night, I put my youngest to bed and it was the last time I’ll ever have a one year-old. And I’d be lying if I said it didn’t break my heart more than a little. We all know and marvel at how time can simultaneously drag and fly when it comes to our kids. There have […]

Perched on the Cusp

May 13, 2015

Here in the finally-thawed Northeast, we still have about six weeks of school left. Six weeks is a long time. That’s still a lot of homework and boxtops and lunches. Dear God, the fucking lunches. But with the warmer weather and the endless barrage of camp ads coming at me, begging me to get my shit […]

Eight

April 24, 2015

I get a little crazy when my kids have birthdays. I’m not a fan of math, but my mind starts racing with numbers whenever it’s time to add a candle to a cake. Eight. Eight is twice as big as when he was four. Eight is four times as big as when he was just […]

Return to Sodor

April 9, 2015

They’re two, they’re four, they’re six, they’re eight… He’s baaaa-aaaaack. Like a flashback from our early parenting days. My youngest has recently proven a highly scientific hypothesis of mine that I’ve firmly believed since 2008: Either your kid has the Thomas the Tank Engine gene, or (s)he doesn’t. While my daughter never cared much for […]

A Mom’s Guide to FitBit Victory

March 25, 2015

You know the old adage: The road to fitness is paved with distractions and kale. And accidental cookies. I got a FitBit for Christmas and, if I’m being honest, I was sort of lukewarm about the whole thing, even if it was my idea. Its shiny lights were there to blink accountability at me and […]
