I mentioned in my Pregnancy v. Parenthood post a couple weeks ago that I know a lot of expecting mothers. One of them had a baby girl last week and she’s adorable. I know this because exactly 1 week after being born, this little baby had the sweetest newborn photos posted on Facebook. You know, [Read More]
Things I Regret Teaching My Children
I’ve heard Moms and Dads express regrets. That they didn’t enjoy the little things with their kids. That they yelled at their kids when they shouldn’t have. That they didn’t savor the time they had with their kids before they grew up so fast. Well, my regrets are a bit different. I regret teaching my [Read More]
Experienced Bad Soccer Mom
Two weeks ago was Sydney’s first soccer practice ever. She’s joined a recreational soccer league for 3 to 5-year-olds. There was a long e-mail from the organizers about what to bring to the first practice. I could have written the same email in 1 sentence: Please come at 9 am wearing shin guards and regular [Read More]

Eek! I’m late. The Ultimate Blog Party 2012 started last Friday and here I am coming to the party on Monday. Oh, well. It’s not like I’m claiming to be the most punctual, awesome blogger out there. In fact, my blog is a tongue-in-cheek look at all the ways I’m a bad mom. I decided [Read More]
How I’d Fix Dr. Oz’s Fast Health Fix
I was skimming the editorial in this month’s Woman’s Day magazine when I spotted “4 fast health fixes from Dr. Oz”. The third one caught my eye: Decompress – Fast.

Experienced Bad Mom Goes Grocery Shopping
Photo source I ran into a neighbor while grocery shopping last week. She’s the mother of two teenagers. As we chatted, I glanced into her basket. It held nothing but healthy stuff: apples, broccoli, whole wheat flour, etc. Everything was good for you. Meanwhile, my cart was overflowing with crap. I did have apples, bananas, [Read More]
The Halfway Mom
I usually make fun of myself on this blog. I point out how inane things like my son talking about his butt, or my daughter loving the Disney princesses, reflect back on me as a bad mom. I mean, really, butt talk is NOT classy nor are the princesses the healthiest role models. My husband [Read More]
Short and Sweet
Just back from Disneyworld and crumbling under the pressure of washing all our dirty clothes and getting back to school and work. Therefore, today’s “bad mom” moment is short and sweet. At church, I rushed to sit by an older lady who knows it all and has seen it all. She is always full of [Read More]

To wrap up my first theme week, “Blast from the Past”, I offer 2 salient reminders of why I blog as the Experienced Bad Mom: First, Christmas 2008: Second, Disneyworld February 2009: See? A mere 2 months after torturing Sydney with Santa Claus I had the brilliant idea that she would love hanging out with [Read More]
An Apple a Day
Last week I took Will to the pediatrician for his check-up. I love our pediatrician and she is the main reason I was able to breastfeed, even with all the problems I encountered. She and I bonded over my cracked nipples. It’s true. Anyhoo, during the check-up, the Doctor asked, “Now Will, do you have [Read More]
