You may wonder what Bruiser is looking at....
Why, he's looking at soy vinegar sauce of course!
He grabbed it from the kitchen table, ran into the den, and threw it on the floor! Because that's what you do with soy vinegar sauce... at least if you're 1 1/2 years old! Yes, Bruiser. Mommy ...

A few weeks ago when the Blissdom blogging
conference was taking place in Nashville, I had dinner
with a group of mom bloggers. They were part of the new line of blogging moms, women who are as focused on marketing themselves and their blogs to ...

Mommyblogging 2.0: It's Not What It Used to Be

It's happening more and more often. I'll be
reading a personal blog, and finding myself drawn in
by a particular post. Maybe the blogger had bad acne growing up and she's writing about how people teased her, and how lonely she felt because of it. I'll ...

Have you noticed? The work-at-home-mom is under attack.
Oh, I've gotten the comments from time to time
from a few angry WOHMs (that's work-OUTSIDE-the-home-moms, for the uninitiated), who bitterly jab their fingers at me and tell me I have no right to ...

Way back in 2005, Alice Bradley stood up
to a band of critics at the first BlogHer
conference and announced, "Mommy blogging is a radical act!" At the time, that statement was like a rallying cry, prompting mothers across the blogosphere to get all ...

If you give a mouse a cookie... ...he
will be so overcome with glee that you will
feel a deep need to break all your rules about sugar and give him another one. If you give a mouse a second cookie... ...the mouse's reaction will convince you that he is the happiest mouse in the whole ...

I went to last night's debate prepared to
be bowled over by one candidate. Instead, I fell
for the other guy. My full report's over at BlogHer today . Read it and (many of you will probably) weep. I'll be back later with pictures, but right now I have a date with a deadline.

I knew last week's post on why reviews
and personal blogs shouldn't mix would stir up some
passionate opinions on both sides of the issue. And it's a subject that I think deserves some discussion, as more and more moms start blogging and we all ...

"Wow, Brent, you've gotten so big!" I told
my friend Susie's son the other day when I
ran into them at Starbucks. "How old are you now?" "Six," he said. "So you're in first grade?" "Kindergarten," he said. "Goodness," I replied. Brent and Punky began ...

bloggers to give some extra recognition to their favorite post of the preceding month. And this month, my award is just a little bit different. Many of you have heard about " NieNie. " She's a mom blogger ...

Now that school is underway and soccer season
is in full swing, getting to the gym for
a workout is a major coup. So I felt pretty good Monday when I climbed on the elliptical at the YMCA. I was starting the week off right! It wasn't long before I was moving fast and working up a sweat. I ...

As many of you know, we are a
Soccer Family. Three out of our four kids currently
play on soccer teams, and Bruiser looks like he'll join the fray as soon as he's out of diapers. I love watching my kids play soccer. But I don't always love being the coach's wife. Find out why in this week's ...

"We shouldn't try to inform or persuade you;
you've made your decision and, frankly, your projected indecision
is an affront to every qualified minority in this nation who struggles against people like you each day. " "If last night's debate was what swayed you towards McCain, then you're ...

Okay. Now that politics are out of the
way, let's get back to the real bread and
butter of this blog: MY KIDS. I wrote quite a bit about them over at Parents.com this week. Here's what you have to choose from: First, there's a wildly popular post about how I scared the hell out of my son . ...

two simple posts have been among the most popular I've written. I've gotten well over a hundred e-mails from women who felt compelled to tell me about their own ...

If you need to catch up on this
story, read Part One first. "There's something you should
know, and you're not going to like it," Jim said when I answered the phone. "Can I come pick you up?" "Can't you just tell me over the phone?" I asked. "No," ...

Not all that long ago, I was shopping
in the grocery store when, inexplicably, I dropped a
carton of eggs. It was pretty funny, actually- There was a comedic moment in which I fumbled for them, almost caught them, then watched helplessly as they ...
