back to school pep talk for moms

‘Tis the season for Back to School (for those of us with school-aged children). Cheers parents! But I’m here to issue you a warning. Consider this my pep talk for the school year, mamas. So pull up a chair, I’ll open this bottle of wine. Let’s talk. This year there will be ample opportunities for…

the candy fairy

I wanted to share this great piece of Mommy wisdom that I just recently learned from another mother.  And it turns out it’s out in the interwebby world, I just hadn’t come across it yet.  So I’m here to share  the goodness.  It’s just such a damn fine solution that I wanted to pass it…

clueless parent prayer

I can tell that I didn’t do my yoga this morning.  I’ve been grumpy and snappy today.  I came home from a play date at the park and needed to revisit my Clueless Parent Prayer, so aptly named by JerseyGirl at Dirty Little Secret where I left a comment to one of her post about…

what a mess!

I don

The woman you talk about with your closest girlfriend (who I call my “sistafriends”), where you can throw around the dirt and it’s safe – the conversation doesn’t leave the kitchen counter (or wine…

Sorry I’ve been a way for a few weeks.  Bad behavior, I know, for someone who a) has a burning desire to write because it helps me sort my shit out (and believe me there’s a lot to sort out!) and b) someone starting a blog.  My sincere apologies.  There’s been a number of things…
