• The Cheese Stands Tall and Proud

  I am not raising the child I thought I would. Instead I am getting a mini-me. I prayed daily that nature would beat out nurture. Instead, nurture is kicking nature in the heiney and spitting right into its hair. It all started when my daughter was an infant. I [...]

• This Mommy Blogger Wants Free Things

  I am doing this mommy blogging thing all wrong. I could be getting FREE things and FREE trips if I were doing it right. Recently I read about mommy blogger strategies. Apparently, the way to get the freebies is to become a brand evangelist. I need to find a [...]

• Bring Back the Meat Cleavers

  The other day my daughter and I built a marshmallow launcher. I am not sure what we didn't do right. Perhaps it was the tension of the rubber band, which was understandably stretched out after holding back Barbie's hair, but when you stuck a marshmallow in the launcher, and [...]

• Happy Friday (Working moms will know what I mean)

  I say Happy Friday because it's one more relaxing day for me at work before the hectic weekend starts. Every weekend I find I'm running here and there, which happens at work too, but I don't have a whole another person to run around for and cater to 24/7. [...]

• Snow Days are Snow Much Fun!

  I took my daughter to see snow. We went up to Detroit "Motor City" Michigan. Murder capital of the U.S., why not. The flights weren't too bad cost wise and we have relatives there. Besides, we were going for the snow. You don't have to leave your razor wired [...]

• Weebles at the Miami Children's Museum

  Tonight my daughter and I visited New York without rats, sat in lawn chairs and sought out constellations in Nevada, and meandered in North Dakota mid-winter. My daughter got to brush a horse (some horse-y state), try out skis (some winter-y state) and run a team of sled dogs [...]

• Single Parent vs. Two Parents. A Silly Debate.

  Once again a writer ventured into the debate of single parent vs. two parent homes. She was on the side of the single parent with the article entitled "It's Better to Be Raised by a Single Mom." Unsurprisingly, she was attacked by, well, most of the internet. (Stay at [...]
