When you’re a parent, Milestones come with the territory. The baby industry has made sure we don’t miss any of them by providing month by month (and even week by week) descriptions of all the things our kids “should” be doing as they grow and develop. And, conveniently, they’ve created an assortment of products to […]
My life is a refrigerator magnet
Somehow, mothers in Africa have become my “guilt barometer.” I’ve developed this bizarre habit of comparing my life with the lives of these women, ultimately, coming to the conclusion that I am a selfish white woman who should feel guilty. All the time. “I feel guilty for grabbing coffee in the middle of the day. […]
Valentine’s Day in Photos: Courtesy of Spike

I wish Christmas Break was longer…Is there a “sarcasm” font?
It’s been 172 hours since Christmas Break began. But who’s counting? I’m not. Not at all. Since the dismissal of class 172 hours ago we’ve had a lot of fun. There’s been hot chocolate, excessive viewing of ‘Elf’, a CPS-worthy amount of television watching and enough Rainbow Looming to span the globe. Twice. Oh, and there […]

I’m Going Rogue…
I’m going rogue. I’m going to take a cultural norm and smack it upside the head. Am I going to challenge gender roles and the unreasonable expectations thrust upon women? Um, not really. Am I going to admit that I often forget to turn off the water while brushing my teeth and I don’t even […]
