If you were planning on going to BlogHer Reach in Nashville, Greensboro, Atlanta or New Orleans, unfortunately BlogHer has just canceled those. I’m sorry I missed this announcement when it was made last week, but …
I was up a million times last night (kids, cat, battery beeping on cell phone…) and am completely wiped today. In lieu of anything meaningful, I’m going to ask you all a question I’ve wondered …
First of all, who names their band !!!. I think they’ve just renamed themselves ‘Chk Chk Chk’ which isn’t a whole lot better, but WAY more google-friendly than trying to search on “!!!” Trust me, …
It’s kind of nice to be hearing anything at all, but to tell you the truth I would have preferred to hear this last year.
My oldest kids are one year apart in school, and this …
You have a sweet heart.
And an amazing brain. You’re a wonderful artist.
And a generous big brother.
You’re a take-charge kind of kid. And a real nutjob.
If you had your way, you’d be drawing and building and …
I just relayed this information to a coworker and was surprised to learn that this isn’t universal knowledge. Her son had just been to his first high school dance and had danced with a girl …
My thoughts are with all of you in the path of Gustav. I hope you’ve all been able to evacuate safely — please update your blog or Twitter so we know how you’re doing. If …
This is my daily school pickup schedule for the boys.
At least dropoff is easier because the start time for school A is the same for everybody.
I’m clearly just going to have to get all zen …
In last week’s packet of school forms was an invitation for Henry to join the Cub Scouts. It has everything he would love to do: camping, knife skills, hiking, earning badges, first aid, ceremony, procedure …
Heard in the other room:
Henry [knowing a sucker is born every minute]: Give me your arm. I promise I won’t kiss it.
Ed: AEIIIIIIIIIIIIII!
Henry [proudly]: That’s an indian sunburn.
Ed [running to me]: Mommy! Henry twisted my …
Today we took the boys to see Space Chimps, and it was pretty cute. Everyone had fun, but they all agreed that Clone Wars was better! Afterward we had lunch at California Pizza Kitchen (do …
Because that would seriously be so much easier than buying them shoes. Today we had to run and get 2 pairs of soccer cleats before they sell out, plus I need to get everyone some …
All the negative reviews of this movie really make me wonder what people were expecting. Oscar-worthy? Nope. Watchable if you’re over age 10 and didn’t bring kids to the theater with you? No way. But …
Holy crap, I just realized we’re in the middle of a ’staycation’ — I think that is possibly the worst word recently invented. But who has the money to go anywhere? My dream family vacation …
My favorite part of this article is where the 1930s woman describes some comments she gets from strangers as “bitchy.” I just love that 30s lingo.
I see that the 70s aren’t taken yet. Maybe I’ll …
In July 2009 I’m either going to be in St. Louis, Portland, or Philadelphia! Are you going to join me?
Remember the poll? Well the votes were tallied and these were the top three. Now they’re …
One of my favorite BlogHer memories is captured in this movie. Whymommy and I were at the Silicon Valley Moms Blog party and the venue had a unique way of entering the party. And she …
After reading Maria’s post I thought to myself, ‘Hey, I was there too!’ and of course started scanning the photo. And there it is! Or to be more precise, there I am!
Hot damn peeps, my …
Hey, today is my second Blorthday. Huzzah!
Curious about my first post? It’s a thrilling must-read. Or check out what I wrote last year on my blorthday. And there’s a special place in my heart for …
They see your eeevery moooove.
This is what happens when a photographer says “OK, I’m going to count to three and on three you’re going to open your eyes wider.” Sounds sexy, right?
Hawt
Plus my mouth is …
I’m braindead from being at BlogHer, so in lieu of a more interesting post about what may or may not have happened in San Francisco, I’m leaving you with me and Devra discussing whether or …
As you may or may not have noticed, BlogHer ‘08 begins later this week. Let the squeeing begin, I guess. If you can’t make the festivities, I have some tips for you. They’re not at …
I don’t usually get my panties in a bunch over stuff like this, but The New Yorker has crossed the line. This is reprehensible, revolting, and I hope they loose a shit-ton of subscribers over …
After completing another hour wedged into a tiny spot on the couch between and under my 3, 5 and 6 year olds, I’ve come to a realization. We’ve all been playing Legend of Zelda on …
Holy crap, I realize that I’m something like 20 years late with this review, but “The Little Mermaid” is a horrendous movie on SO MANY levels!
With my two oldest in YMCA camp all day, the …
My son Charlie, now 3.5, was born with a cataract in his right eye. After a few surgeries it all seems sorted out, but he has glasses (bifocals, actually) and also wears an eye patch …
Recently there has been an explosion of words over what one blogger said about another blogger. For some reason, it has been spoken about under secrecy and in hushed terms and no one is really …
Alternate post title: “How Erika had a stroke at Target.”
So what you’ve got here is more proof that when the world is running down, you make the best of what’s still around…
First of all, the …
OK folks, I’m really excited because it’s time to take the wraps off my new baby!
I love love love buying things from real people who make stuff with their own two hands, and I am …
