Last week, I tweeted something cute that my 6-year-old said: — Experienced Bad Mom (@ExperBadMom) April 3, 2013 As luck would have it, Huffington Post Parents saw my tweet, liked it, and then shared it with their 100,000+ followers as one of their best parenting tweets of the week. I thought that was cool! Exciting [Read More]

Friday Musings, Crocs, and Haiti
I have nothing to say. Seriously. Well, okay, so I’m writing down that I have nothing to say. So that’s saying something.

THE Question of Our Time
Breast or bottle? BPA-free? Pacifier or no pacifier? When to wean? Organic or not? Cloth or disposable? Cry it out? Private or public school? How much TV, if any at all? Snuggie or bathrobe? No, dear readers, these are not the pressing questions of our time. The REAL question, the one that keeps me up [Read More]
