To the Parents of Kids Who Watch Teletubbies

October 3, 2016 By Katy 19 Comments

To the parents of kids who watch the Teletubbies: it'll be okay!

I was flipping through the channels when I saw it. Teletubbies. I gasped and started laughing. Teletubbies was back? Then, I had this thought: Oh, those poor parents. You see, I remembered that back in the late 1990s and early 200s, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La La and Po burst onto the scene and captured the [Read More]

If Toddlers Ran the Morning News

June 27, 2016 By Katy 10 Comments

Here's what would happen if toddlers ran the morning news!

Watching the local morning news is part of my weekday routine. I sip a cup of coffee and let the TV news anchors fill me in on what I missed while I was sleeping. Honestly, 99% of the time I seem to have missed a new cat video that went viral. And that’s it. Watching is [Read More]

Memorable Mom Moments

Terrific. Great. Just a couple words that describe how I feel this week about getting back into our family’s routine of school and work. Don’t get me wrong, the holidays were wonderful and I felt like we enjoyed a much-needed break. That said, by New Year’s we were starting to climb the walls and fight [Read More]

Animal Planet DID WHAT?

October 23, 2014 By Katy 16 Comments

Animal Planet DID WHAT?

What were you thinking, Animal Planet? On Friday night, I sat down with my kids, ages 11 and 7, to catch an episode of Tanked. My son, 11, loves Tanked and all the amazing fish tanks displayed on the show. Slightly before 8pm, during a commercial break, Animal Planet decides it was the perfect time [Read More]

7 Life Lessons I Learned from the Facts of Life

September 16, 2014 By Katy 22 Comments

I gave my daughter the “Jo” hairstyle last week: It made me happy to recreate that iconic hairstyle sported by Jo on the TV show the Facts of Life, even though my daughter had no idea who “Jo” was! But it turns out that the “Jo” hairstyle made you happy, too. All day long on social [Read More]

Former Child Star Caillou Arrested for Shoplifting

September 9, 2013 By Katy 37 Comments

Former Child Star, Caillou, Arrested! Read all about it.

It’s been two weeks since Miley Cyrus twerked her way onto the “Former Child Stars Gone Bad” list. Which got me thinking. What if our children’s most beloved (or most polarizing) star, Caillou, ever fell from grace? I think the press release would go a little something like this: Former child star Caillou was arrested [Read More]

Why You Should Watch Finding Bigfoot

March 26, 2013 By Katy 4 Comments

In typical Experienced-Bad-Mom-style, I’m a day late and a dollar short. That’s because this post is about a great family program you may be missing, Finding Bigfoot, and yes, the season finale airs this Sunday at 10pm. So you’ve missed the whole season. (Never fear, though, because Finding Bigfoot re-runs will air into perpetuity!) What is Finding [Read More]

When Kids Name Pets

March 15, 2013 By Katy 8 Comments

My boss has a cat named Papagena. I always thought that was a bit unusual. Plus, I always mixed it up with Patagonia, the clothing company. As my boss and I were chatting the other day, I learned two things about Papagena. First, the name is from a character in the opera The Magic Flute. [Read More]

July 20, 2012 By Katy 12 Comments

Let’s get this right out there: I let my children watch TV. There. And when they’ve been watching TV, most of the time I’ve been watching along with them. Which brings to mind several pressing questions about children’s TV shows. Here, in no particular order, are the things I wonder about on kids’  TV shows: [Read More]
