Dear Kate Gosselin,
I’m a huge fan (I watch for you, not for the kids) and I think you really should be Time’s Person of the Year, as I suggested and you should win an Emmy because you’re have about the only show on TV I can still watch with my kids.
After the most recent cupcake […]

I’ve been dragging out Fun Mommy, my alter ego who comes out to instigate fun and bonding with the kids. (As opposed to my alter ego called Mean Mommy, which you can read about in Attitude Boot Camp.)We’ve been trying to take family bike rides, but one of the bikes always seems to have a […]

My friend Violet send me a very fascinating New York Times article about the struggles of getting and maintaining equality in a family.
It takes a very interesting look at what many, including probably myself, think of as the ideal - mom and dad working 30ish flexible hours and sharing equally the housework and parenting.
Life, and […]

I find very few flaws in the logic of Leslie Bennetts in her book FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?
Her logic is such that I find myself saying, She’s right. Why did I make such a self-defeating choice to quit my fulltime professional newspaper job?
Until the chapter where she reminds me why, […]

You don’t want to miss this article over on MOMocrats. Did you know federal employees get no paid maternity leave? George W. Bush, and your other elected officials, think it costs too much money. Really? Surely not more than we spent to send a satallite to freaking Mars.
I think it just shows a general lack […]

I was roaming all over the house looking for my phone. Cause, you know, I had pictures on it that I was going to use for about 5 articles.
I was muttering “where is my phone?”
Pone. Zack, the two year old very near death (because I’m about to want to kick his ass), says and hands […]

I was at a social event the other day and there was a New Mommy.
Anther woman, who’s youngest child is around 11 or so, says to New Mommy as she puts a itty-bitty blankie over the infant’s legs, You know you’re not supposed to keep them too warm, and she turned to me with a […]

Lasagna is one of those things where if you make one you may as well make four. One makes just as big a mess.
One for the corporate dinner party. One for the family reunion, one to give away or take to a potluck, one for the freezer for later. If I’d had more pans I’d’ve […]

Mothers periodically reevaluate whether they should go back to work or quit their jobs - depending on their current situation.
I found these fascinating statistics in FEMININE MISTAKE, THE: ARE WE GIVING UP TOO MUCH?.
One Harvard and Cornell study found that
Women who were homemakers at the beginning of their three-year study and and then went to […]

I just want to shout out a big Happy Father’s Day to my Dad. He’s a good dad and a great Grandpa and a heck of a gardener.
I’d write more, but he won’t read it. He’s a retired Utah Air National Guard Colonel who won’t learn how to surf the net. He can fly an […]
