July 9, 2018 By Katy 8 Comments

“Insert Reward Card.” Insert. “Swipe card.” Swipe. “Pay here or inside?” Here. “Debit or credit?” Credit. “Enter zip code.” Enters zip code. “Scan your retina and sacrifice a pigeon at the gas pump.” Wait…WHAT? Okay, so the gas station pump at which I was filling up my car didn’t ask me to lay a sacrifice [Read More]

Random Valentine's Day Thoughts from a Teenager's Mom

Valentine’s Day as the mother of a teenager is weird. This is because the following random Valentine’s Day thoughts swirl through my head: I wonder if my son likes anyone? Or if anyone likes my son?

Conversations With My Family About 80s Music

October 2, 2017 By Katy 17 Comments

Do you like 80s music? Then you'll like these funny observations about popular 80s music classics from Wham, Bonnie Tyler, Lionel Richie and more.

The following is a true story about a family listening to 80s music on a road trip. I have changed their names to protect the innocent. I’m kidding. Usually I don’t mention their names anymore because supposedly that makes me an oversharing, hyper mommy blogger. I digress. The scene A couple weekends ago my family [Read More]

Thoughts I Have During Yogilates Class

I’ve been taking a yogilates class once a week for ten years now. For those of you who may not know, yogilates is a blend of yoga and pilates. (Yes, it would be much better if it was a blend of yoga and lattes!) I can’t believe I’ve been subjecting myself to such torture, er, [Read More]

The Long and Short of It

May 1, 2017 By Katy 15 Comments

The Long and Short of It: What happens when a really tall mama finds out her daughter won't be so tall after all.

I received the devastating news at my daughter’s well-child visit when she was two years old. “Your daughter is in the 75th percentile for height,” the pediatrician reported. The belly on my 5’11” frame knotted. I uncrossed my long legs and leaned forward in my chair. “Wha-a-a-t?” I stammered. “Does 75th percentile today mean the same as [Read More]

10 Signs You’ve Hit Midlife

April 17, 2017 By Katy 29 Comments

Here are 10 Signs You've Hit Midlife.

“Are you a midlife blogger?” the questionnaire asked. No. Wait. “Are you a midlife blogger? (45+)” the questionnaire further clarified. Well, I guess so. I don’t FEEL midlife, but if the average lifespan is 76 years or whatever, then I guess I AM midlife. And, as I thought about it, there are quite a few [Read More]

Time to Laugh

June 21, 2016 By Katy 18 Comments

Time to laugh: Be decisive!

Who needs to laugh? I know I do. After the recent tragedies in Orlando, I need a moment to giggle. Taking a second to laugh or smile doesn’t make light of the tragedies, but it momentarily lifts my soul and reminds me to enjoy life this day, this moment. If you need a laugh, I hope [Read More]

September 30, 2015 By Katy 5 Comments

Experienced Bad Mom is looking back on her status update, tweets, and pins in humor! Come by for a chortle.

“How’s your blog? I haven’t seen anything lately. Are you still doing it?” my stylist asked me while I was getting a trim. “Uh,” I stammered unintelligibly. “Yes, I’m still doing it.” Then my heart curled up and died a little bit. Yes. I’m definitely still doing my blog. However, once I got over the [Read More]

Wearing sweatshirts with embroidered birds on them is just one reason I can't wait to be a senior citizen! Check out the other 9 funny but true reasons in this light-hearted post.

Before going to a rock concert recently, I realized I would be staying up waaaaay past my usual bedtime of 10:30. To prepare, I tried to eat healthily the day of the concert, drink lots of water, nap, and…oh, who am I kidding? I drank a giant soft drink, wished for the best, went to [Read More]

Those of you who follow my social media channels may recall that I spent 2 days chaperoning my son’s 6th grade field trip to Toronto.
