Pin it1. Do sit at the kid’s table. They’re loud, they’re rowdy, and they don’t eat their sweet potatoes. But the kiddos will not look at your chest, then look at you and say, “Breastfeeding are you? Don’t worry Dear. Nothing a good bra can’t fix.” 2. Do blame it on your in-laws spoiling your kids when they behave badly at your parent’s house. 3. Do blame it on your parents spoiling your kids when they behave badly at your inlaws’ house. 4. Don’t sit…

Pin itOne of the things that makes Christmas so magical is the beauty that surrounds the holiday. The soft twinkle of the lights, the scent of fresh pine, colorfully wrapped packages tied with pretty bows. So I don’t understand why people insist on ruining the atheistic of Christmas by wearing stuff like this: Yes, that’s right. I’m taking a stand against holiday wear. You can wear red. You can wear green. It’s even acceptable to wear red and green together as long as there aren’t…

Pin itIt’s not Christmas, but it’s almost as good as Christmas for Mom. It’s back-to-school time. Now that the kids are once again inside the Hallowed Halls of Knowledge you can : 1. Go to the bathroom. Alone. 2. Stop eating your secret stash of chocolate in the laundry room. 3. Waste all morning on Facebook. 4. Organize your closets. Or not. 5. Actually get your heart rate up while working out, because you won’t have to stop every two minutes to get someone a…

Pin itI bought David, my five year old, toy handcuffs. He went with me to take his his little brother Wade to the doctor. It was a long morning. David behaved really well, but started to get bored by the time we arrived at the drug store to pick up a prescription. We had more stops to make, so when David asked for a pair of cheap, toy handcuffs I gave in. I figured they would keep him entertained while I finished up errands. When…

Pin itI read two stories this week about women who were detained at the border when they told officials they were entering the country on business related to blogging. One was an American going into Canada, the other a Canadian coming to the US. It seems that Mom Blogging got red-flagged by The Department of Homeland Security. They don’t think it’s a legitimate profession. Didn’t they get the memo from the FTC? I mean if the FTC can regulate you, and fine you, then you…

Pin itEver since my in-laws gave us a GPS last Christmas, my husband and I pretty much don’t need to think about anything. I mean everything else was already automated. Appointments, reminders, calendars, shopping lists are sent automatically by email or text. We watch whatever the DVR tells us to records. All of our bills are debited from our bank account, and our income deposited automatically. We don’t even need to try to keep in touch with our friends, because we “see” them on Facebook…

Pin itI considered taking some extreme measures to ensure that I don’t spend my summer doing housework, because I’d rather be at the beach. After finding a particularly over-whelming mountain of dirty clothes next to the washer, I announced to the family that we were joining a nudist colony. I figured that would really cut down on laundry. The baby didn’t care, and my five year old, who can be found running around the house sans clothing at any hour of the day, was all…
