Over the summer, I was contacted by a “NYC Journalist” or rather, a writer for Parents magazine who lives in Boston and saw my post about Wine: Mom’s Drink of Choice and thought she could get some good info from me for her own story. Funny how that works. I gave her my take on how more moms seem to relax with a glass of wine or a cocktail in front of their children these days. I mentioned...

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you just wish you could have a do-over? I don’t really get the expression “I woke up on the wrong side of the bed”, but if I am ever going to say it, today would be the day.  I woke up super grouchy. Partly because I went to bed too late last night, partly because PMS is rearing it’s ugly head and partly because I’m just so fucking...

Today was the first day of Pre-K for my 4 year old. We said goodbye at 9 am and were back together again at 3 pm. Six hours went by where I just had to take care of the baby (who turned one yesterday, btw!) who happens to be on a fairly predictable schedule these days. He takes two naps, each one about an hour in length. Still, my time alone is spent doing things that need to be taken care of for my family such...

Has anyone seen that commercial for Nair Shower Power? You know, that cream you slather on your legs so it can  effortlessly wash away your nasty leg hair while you clean the rest of your body? I’m normally not such a sucker for the power of media, but let’s face it, who the hell has time to shave? I barely get a chance to shower these days.  So yeah, if that saves me time and saves me from wearing...

Whether you want to admit it or not, women love sex. They also love talking about it with their girlfriends. It may not always be appropriate, but imagine if you could just say it all with no consequence and no embarrassment. Most of the time real-life conversation stays pretty clean, like talking about what your favorite positions are. Fortunately for you, this is not a live conversation. It is a glimpse into...

Today I am in heaven. My husband arrived yesterday from his 11 day “guy’s trip” and this morning was absolute heaven. He must have gotten up with the kids because no one came into my room this morning screaming at me “MOMMY, I AM HUNGRY!” I woke up on my own this morning, no alarm clock, no dogs breathing heavily, and no kids screaming at me. When I came out of my bedroom, my kids were dressed and...

Apparently my right tit missed the memo that I stopped breast feeding 8 months ago. I’ve had some suspicions that righty might be leaking, but it has never been confirmed. Every now and then, I feel a slight wet sensation on my shirt, but I look down and there is nothing there. I internally blame it on water splashing from the sink or whatever other feasible idea I can come up with. I don’t know...
