I'm a busy woman. (Last night I held my face over a steaming bowl of pasta I was making for dinner and wondered if that could count as a "getting a facial.")
Busy I may be, but there is one thing I make sure to schedule time for: my annual mammogram. Now I'm flabbergasted and pissed about ...

Most would agree that I'm a pretty good mom. I deprived myself of sushi and wine for each of my pregnancies. I carry a purse filled with crayons, crackers, and tchotchkes to keep the peace during long restaurant meals. I entertain my kids with elaborate tales about a stubborn little girl ...

When my oldest was an infant and I was so consumed with new motherhood that I had practically memorized the book What to Expect the First Year, my husband came home one day and brought up an issue that all my reading hadn't prepared me for. Our holistic-minded chiropractor had just asked him ...

My kid’s not going to college. That used to be a hard sentence to get out because people looked at me funny. During my son's high school junior and senior year, friends would talk about where their kids applied to college, who they'd heard from and where they were going, maybe. And ...

I love autumn. I love to watch the leaves change color. I love the chill in the air. But as I'm working in my garden today, I realize there's an aspect of fall that makes me very sad. The flowers in the garden that once provided so much beauty are now an eyesore. Their colors are ...

I realized yesterday that there is something I hate. Loathe. Detest with every fiber of my being. I feel a visceral reaction when I see it: I want to panic, seethe, and curl into a helpless ball all at once. The bane of my existence. The thing I abhor:
I. Hate. Swings.
Let me get more ...

Motherhood
I have a terrible secret. I am usually a very responsible, mature adult. I make good decisions and I mostly try to parent with a fair, measured hand.
The problem is, sometimes I think fart noises are funny. There, I said it. I know, I know. I am a grown woman and this is a childish thing.I ...

I've always been the kind of mom who uses creativity and culture to help my kids process the world. From a very early age, I encouraged them to discover who they were inside by relating to the characters they read about in books and identified with in films. One of my favorite things is ...

Back to work I go. And dare I say, “Woohoo!” For the past four years I have primarily been a stay at home mom. Although I took pleasure in becoming a parent, I couldn’t help but mourn the loss of my former executive self. After my son was born I filled my days with watching him grow and ...

Seriously, who? I know all the local news anchors in New York -- will that help? My 2-year-old has gotten her flu shot, but it took 2 weeks to get the appointment. About a week before that appointment, I found out that the pediatric H1N1 vaccine was becoming available, so I called the ...

It took a series of strange behaviors and symptoms that my son was exhibiting over many months to finally figure out what was wrong with him. One day in April I noticed my son blinking his eyes rapidly. At first I thought he had something in one of his eyes or possibly was having some sort ...

Not another post about meal planning. That's probably what you're saying to yourself, isn't it?
Well, personally I am fed up with the whole thing. (Ha, ha, ha.)
I feel like I am at the grocery store every other day! In reality, I have been trying to stick to a system; Sunday night I I ...

I spent the weekend in Vegas. Does that sound like the beginning of a racy post or what? Sorry to disappoint, but there is nothing really scandalous to report (save a frozen shot of whiskey in a bar made of ice-which was actually more tame than it sounds). I did bring something back with me ...

Instead of spending a lot of money going out for wine & chocolate for a Moms' Night Out , I decided to invite my mom friends to my house. Enjoying wine and chocolate is just one fun way to host a Moms' Night In. My mom friends arrived after they put their kids to bed and we relaxed in ...

I grew up in a military family. My father was a career Air Force officer, as was his father. My brother joined the Army a few years after high school and served two tours in Bosnia before he got out. Of course then ...

A few days ago you took me for a drive in our car. Just before you backed out of the garage, you spent a moment adjusting the seat and the mirrors so that it fit you. As you fiddled with the seat control, you probably weren't thinking about the fact that the ride ahead would require an ...

Here we are, smack dab at the start of the Holiday Season and I have moved into a decorator show house neighborhood. Don't get me wrong, I love everything about this season, from halloween popcorn balls straight through to cold cut sandwiches and football on New Years' day. I love it all, ...

Last week, I was faced with one of those situations where I couldn't figure out if a child was a boy or a girl. The child had long, bouncy blonde hair like a girl. His or her toddler face could be either - both pretty and handsome. The child was dressed in a boy-like outfit but the child's ...

There are times in my life that I thought the world was crashing down on top of me, but nothing - and I truly mean NOTHING - could have prepared me for the period of time between April and October of 2009. You've heard of the saying that "God will never give you more than you can handle"? ...
