I should have seen the clues. Going up the escalator of my local Macy's, I shared the ride with a dozen or so women, all toting armfuls of clothes. The store was abuzz. It was only 11am on a Tuesday morning and the parking lot was full. Apparently, I'd gone to get lipstick on the day of the ...

Every parent knows what a Cool Parent point is, right? You know, you earn Cool Parent points in those moments when your kids don’t think you’re a nerd, a geek, too bossy, or someone who is ruining your life.
You collect Cool Parent points when you do something cool. Like when Alix took ...

My kindergartner came home last week with a ton of information about water conservation. Apparently there had been a school assembly or something with folks from the water company. He was so excited to share his new knowledge about how to use less water. Don’t water our lawn every day! We ...

Since this afternoon, when my daughter's soccer team played their final season game, I've been a bit off centered because of behavior I displayed behind the lines. What set my behavior off was an unbelievably obnoxious mother. She's one we've all seen on the field - the one who yells louder ...

Mid-day Saturday, my seven year old son sat in our living room defying me. "I'm NOT going!" "You don't know you don't want to go," I said. "This is going to be so cool -- it's a skateboard event!" "Mom," my seven year old daughter countered, "You think everything is cool." I thought my ...

Like most folks this year, money is tight at our house. We're not taking any lavish vacations or buying a Mercedes Benz and putting a big red bow in it to surprise daddy with it Christmas morning. (sigh, maybe next year...not!) This year I am doing gifts more strategically - leveraging ...

My daughter is in 5th grade. This is a big year for her. It is her last year in elementary school, it is the year that she will go away to outdoor school, and it is the year that she will learn about puberty during the health education unit on human development. My darling tween has some ...

I took down the last safety gate in our house today. It's left me feeling a little wistful. In what never got to be more than a half-hearted (well, perhaps two thirds-hearted) effort at baby-proofing our home, the gates were the one thing we were always serious about. We ended up with one ...

I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about the stay at home mom and the working mom “jobs”. I’m sure there might be something in this post that will make someone angry. So let me say before I begin that I firmly believe that it’s a choice and both choices can be equally challenging and ...

I joke that my kids are wild and wiggly little children. They do have an abundant amount of en energy and I fantasize about moving to the middle of the woods and letting them run to their hearts content, but we like our cafes and Trader Joes too much. Here in the suburbs, there is a ...

It's all anyone talks about. "Did your kids get the shot? Where did you get it? Do they have more?" "Are your kids high risk? Mine aren't, but I'm going to lie." "Who's going to the county clinics?" If you spot a group of moms huddled together outside school or daycare you can bet that's what ...

Martha Stewart’s food guru, Lucinda Scala Quinn , suggests the way to get teens to the dinner table is to cook savory dishes . Apparently, the aromas and tastes should be so compelling, any teen would throw down their cell phone, drop their texting device, turn away from the game machine, and ...

As the mother of teens and tweens, it's a daily task to observe and reinforce good internet safety to my children. There was a time about ten years ago when my eldest daughter was eight years old and was on an internet site innocently chatting with someone who had a site with all sorts of ...

I pulled the princess cowgirl out of her car seat and slung her onto my hip. Then I slipped the princess witch's hand into mine and headed towards the back entrance of my new office. The staff Halloween party marked the culmination of my first week of work, and I have to admit that I wasn't ...

My son Gobez is a good kid: outgoing, helpful, cheerful and sweet. (Of course, even a truly nice boy might throw his sister's basketball onto the roof on purpose sometimes. Nobody's perfect.) He's also known as a good citizen at school. In first grade, when a troubled student inexplicably ...
