What can I say, guys? This blog has been sadly neglected over the last few weeks, with good reason. I've gone on a roadtrip, continued adjusting to life as a kindergarten mom, chased after my 2-year-old son, weathered a few family crises, and lost ten pounds. Tis the season, I guess, for ...

Okay, so I get sort of a lot of weird e-mails (although hardly any trolls, which is great, given all the crazy things I've written about). If I can remember, I save them in an inbox folder for days like this, when I could use a good laugh. Here are a few good ones. Just Call Me Teri ...

Halloween came and went and a good time was had by all. I congratulated myself on surviving yet another Halloween using items from our dress-up box in the playroom, although we had a near-crisis Wednesday, when we went to see the stage show of Little House on the Prairie" and Punky ...

Think of it as Mall Week over here at Suburban Turmoil. My parents live about ten minutes from an Atlanta mall, and what with its carousel and play area and Build-a-Bear and department stores and boutiques, I was over there nearly every day last week for one thing or another, so much that it was ...

All in the name of beauty, my friends. Beauty, Uncensored, that is. You can find out what the hell is going on (and see some insane photos) in the latest installment of my beauty column, over at Her Nashville Magazine. Also, for those of you in Nashville, Punky and I got to see opening night ...

As I head for a dressing room with The Dress of My Dreams hanging over one arm, a saleswoman stops me. "You're going to need a bigger size than that," she says. I freeze. "This is the biggest size you have left," I said. "And it's my size." She half chuckles. "Let me know if you need help trying ...

There are Alpha Moms and helicopter parents, Sanctimommies and soccer moms. No matter what you do as a parent, someone out there has coined a term for you, and likely profited off of it in the process. Even if you do nothing at all. Yes, those moms of the Mad Men era , the ones who watched soap ...

The thought of Monteagle has been haunting me for days. It’s the most daunting part of a trip from Nashville to Atlanta, involving a steep drive up one side of a mountain and a harrowing ride down the other. But to keep things in perspective, I’d put its fear factor at about three. ...

Maybe you've wondered what's been with me the last month or two. I've still been posting here, but not quite as often as I used to. Well, things have changed a bit in my life. First, Backtalk went on permanent hiatus and then my contract with Parents.com expired. When those contracts ended, Hubs ...

Another week is coming to a close and that means it's time for another post with random links and thoughts from me. I think of you all as an extended circle of friends and there are always a bunch of interesting (to me, anyway) tidbits that I want to share with you. So this is the time when I do ...

It's a dirty little secret of thousands and thousands of moms... Coupon clipping. I'm not ashamed to say my Sundays aren't complete without clipping the weekly coupons in the newspaper. I even bought a wallet-sized coupon organizer for easy referencing at the grocery. When I first got it and ...

We have yet to be infected by the Swine Flu- and I want to keep it that way. That's why I signed a consent form allowing Punky to get the H1N1 vaccination at school as soon as it becomes available. I've heard horror stories from friends who've gotten H1N1 and since respiratory illnesses tend to ...

"Hi Lindsay, is this a good time?" It was a Very Important Phone Call I'd been waiting days to receive. I put down the mop I was getting ready to use in the kitchen and quickly assessed the situation. Bruiser was playing with his cars in the den. Punky was working on her homework in the dining ...

If you read anything this weekend, read this. It is simple and awesome. If you make anything this week, make this. I made it this past week and I think it's the best apple dessert I've ever eaten. Hubs was on Dateline Friday night, talking about a case he'd reported on over the last decade and ...

One topic that seems to come up over and over again among moms is whether the more physically, ahem, developed dolls out there are appropriate playthings for our daughters. Dora recently stirred debate as her developers created a more mature version of the character for those of her fans who ...
