I’m a tad late: Happy Father’s Day! Mother’s and Father’s Days are sometimes touchy for people, because they might not have had the best or any parents. For Father’s Day, though, we should see it as a day to celebrate the real men in our lives, not just our dads, but any man who has [...]
Just when I thought I was winning the war on the terror-ible threes, our cute little monster daughter through us a curveball. Well, she through one at the hubs. (I’d like to think this wouldn’t have happened on my watch, and I have to admit, I’m glad it happened on his!) While he was bathing [...]
I’ve created a monster. She’s bold, strong, confident and … wait, those are good characteristics for a female, right? Not when she’s 3, me thinks! I’m really seeing the “terrible 3’s” but, haha, I am coming out on top. Ok, today I did. I showed her who’s boss. Or maybe she just made me think [...]
Parenting already has its challenges, such as when your kid wants something that you don’t want them to have, and it doesn’t help that the odds always seem to be against you. For example: You don’t want your kid to eat a bunch of junk food. That’s being a good parent by sticking to that [...]
I hate these diaper commercials that tout that their absorbency and quality last for as long as 12 hours. Um, yuck. Who in their right mind would leave their kid in a diaper for 12 hours?! I think that kind of crap, no pun intended, is deserving of a SUPER bad parent award.
I recently visited with my former colleague, friend and fellow super mom Jennifer Torres Siders. She is off doing her thing and still writing from time to time for The Record. Her blog is adorable, BTW, and makes me want to vomit it’s so cute. Seriously, she is a beautiful writer and storyteller. We share [...]
My daughter’s birthday is at the end of the month. Time has gone by so fast; I feel like I just had her. Has it really been three years!? Her first birthday was spent at our house. It wasn’t flashy, but a lot of people came – about 50, no exaggeration. For her second birthday, [...]
Ladies and gentlemen, I am back. I know, I know. More torture! And after popping out another kid, I am more sarcastic and crazy as ever. Eat your heart out, readers. The deets: On Jan. 29, I popped out a handsome, healthy and hairy boy. He is so wonderful and easy. I got lucky that [...]
A friend of mine posted this article on Facebook, and it immediately drew my attention because I’ve been pondering this exact, at times, conundrum: The Disney princess extravaganza. My daughter loves the movies “Little Mermaid,” “Princess and the Frog,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Sleeping Beauty,” and all the others. At first, I thought she was [...]
Well, baby No. 2 is due any moment. Yay! Everything is ready in the nursery, and my daughter seems excited, which is great because it’s not like I can return my son or find him a new home like a dysfunctional pet or something. Balancing time with both kids makes me worry though. I like [...]
