I was just laughing to myself. And feeling like a bad mom again. I was remembering a year ago when I got a fire in my belly and cleaned out toys, bought a big girl bed for Sydney, and put the crib away for good. Part of that process was selling the cheap rocking chair [Read More]
Highway to the Danger Zone?
We took the kids to the see the Blue Angels this weekend at Thunder Over Michigan. Frankly, they were more interested in their slushies than the Blue Angels! It was about 1,000 degrees so I can’t really blame them. When it was over I found myself holding Sydney’s hand as we walked back to our [Read More]

Put in My Place

Wardrobe Malfunction
My baby bumble bee Sydney had her first ballet recital this weekend. It was very sweet, and quite the production! Little did I know last September when I signed her up for dance classes that I happened to pick the most high-falootin’ dance place in town. These people take their dance SERIOUS.

Sick Time
I’m gonna say it. Every mom who works outside the home thinks it. But it is rare that any of us say it out loud. To say it out loud labels you as a bad mom. But, hey, I already know I’m a bad mom! So here goes: Would my two kids please get sick [Read More]

I’m lovin’ it?
“Welcome to McDonald’s. Go ahead and place your order when you’re ready.” “Yes, I’ll have a chicken nugget Happy Meal, no sauce, with french fries, chocolate milk, and a boy toy,” I replied. Geesh, I thought. I ordered Will fries, but he wanted the apple dippers. I’ll just order the apple dippers with Sydney’s Happy [Read More]

Highs and Lows
You win some and you lose some, right? Yesterday I took Will to a Martin Luther King, Jr. symposium at the University of Michigan. He didn’t want to go. He didn’t know anybody and he kept telling me he wanted to stay home and play. However, in the real world many mommies have to work [Read More]
