I had never heard of the site Caring Bridge until this week. Then I received an email about someone who had set up a page there.
Then I received a second email from someone entirely different who had set up a page there.
That's not exactly a good week.
Caring Bridge offers journal pages to ...

When you're lying there in the hospital cradling that new baby in your arms, no one tells you that you'll never be able to wear pencil skirts without Spanx again. They don't tell you've just had your very last shower with the bathroom door closed. And they certainly don't tell you about Bouncy ...

Today the Los Angeles Times ran a front
page story called Blogging Moms Wooed by Food Firms.
I'm quoted in it, as are a number of other bloggers who may or may not be happy about it. Although man I love Elisa Camahort-Page's pornography analogy. That ...

The Mummy Chronicles
found this 2 days agofound this
The holidays are here, more or less, whether I'm ready or not. It's a little challenging for us this year with tighter budgets than ever. Or to be brutally honest, it feels nothing short of awful not to be able to give my kids the things they're asking for, especially now that they're old enough ...

Just when I think I kind of have this parenting thing down, some new situation comes along that proves to me that, nope. Not really.
Trying to give my daughter eyedrops last week to battle the cold that had spread to her eyes, was a comedy of parenting errors. You'd have thought we told her ...

Things I have seen or heard about the FTC regulation of blogs in the last six months (which, by the way, goes into effect on December 1)
Targeting bloggers is discriminatory
Targeting bloggers violates my free speech
The FTC is not actually targeting bloggers at all
It's a law
It's a ...

Let's just say you can't beat the view, the snacks are free, and the temperature is downright balmy.

I was really honored that yesterday, Gretchen Rubin, amazing author and happiness evangelist included me in her series of Happiness Project interviews.
(You can also find it on Slate, which...wow. Kinda nice.)
It seems like happiness is making a comeback. Or maybe because I'm interested in it, ...

Thalia came home last week informing us that
Poop is now a bad word. Or so say
her preschool teachers. RIP the poop joke. Its passing is sad and untimely, but not altogether unexpected. What can I say, we had a good run while we can, what with ...

Eulogy for a poop joke
Okay so I admit it. We're snotty. We didn't want our kids to be your ordinary, run of the mill Disney fairy princesses, with the sparkles and the scratchy tulle and the strap-on wings that flew here directly from Dongguan Province (like magic!) and landed in the local Target.
Nate decided they ...

Yesterday Thalia raced through the door after school, far happier than she was when she came home last week. (And by the way, your advice and consolation in comments meant the world. Thank you. I'm happy to say she's recovered quite nicely and has a shiny new friendship bracelet to show for it, ...

Let's be honest, it takes a whole lot of creativity to avoid the societal (or Ricky's) pressure to be a slutty nurse, slutty fairy, slutty cop, slutty flapper, or slutty Freddy Krueger on Halloween.
You only think I'm joking.
Because when I think sexy, I think serial killer. Rowr.

Last night Thalia came home from school, not her usual happy self.
"What happened in school today?" I asked.
"Well, today we made friendship bracelets. But no one made me one."
Evidently the kids all created bracelets for anyone they wanted - a kid in the class, a sibling, a parent. But while ...
