Yes, you read that right! The other day I was driving home with Will and Sydney. “Mom!” Will said excitedly. “Guess the name of the book I got at the library?” “Uh,” I started. “Poop, Pee, Butts, and Penises!” offered Sydney, my sweet (?) 4-year-old. “Hee hee hee!” Strangely, that was NOT the name of [Read More]
Easter 2011
I hope you all had a happy Easter! We enjoyed the long weekend together, since Chad got a half-day on Good Friday. First, we dyed Easter Eggs. Chad even got into the act this year. In fact, he drew a butt on one of Will’s eggs. From that point on, I lost both my big [Read More]

Experienced Bad Hair
Sydney and I have a long history with her hair. It started when I dropped the ball when she was a toddler and decided to get her first haircut on the spur of the moment. There were no pictures or dramatic entries in her baby book. Then, for her second haircut, I showed up with [Read More]

The Trouble with Breastfeeding
Will at 11 months. The reason why I breastfed?! I’ve been meaning to share the following essay for a while. It’s old–I wrote it a year or two after Will was born.

More Fun at the Library, Experienced Bad Mom Style
In a span of 5 minutes yesterday, I pretty much “knocked it out of the park”, bad mom style! 1. I had to stop at the library to pick up the new Barbie movie I had reserved for Sydney. Yes, I reserved her a Barbie movie. Let the feminist commentaries on this choice begin. 2. [Read More]

World Peace, the Experienced Bad Mom Way
Those of us able to watch adult TV (aka the news and not Spongebob) know that the Arab world is full of strife. I have the solution. See, every time my two kids start bickering, I gently redirect them to their toy microphone. Playing with it soothes their savage tempers. Here’s how: They toot in [Read More]

Alex P. Keaton Lives!
All three of my blog readers may recall that Will has a certain penchant for money and business deals. He also loves him some TV. And, yes, I know he watches more TV than the Academy of Pediatrics recommends! Here’s proof: “If we had Progressive Car Insurance,” he pondered, “could we really name our own [Read More]
