One of my most favorite comfort foods is pastina, prepared with egg and cheese.
So naturally, one of the first things I wanted to feed my kids was pastina. And then life took a downward spiral.
Anyone who has given their kid pastina KNOWS how fucking shitty the clean up is after the kid attempts to shove […]
Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday for my husband. No wonder – I spend a week buying his favorite food and alcohol, cleaning the house, and then his family comes over for his favorite meal. One year, only one relative came over, and ate sparingly because they were going to another Thanksgiving afterwards. I spent a […]
When I was a little girl, I would pretend that I was a housewife. I’d set up baby dolls around the kitchen table, and prepare a delicious fake dinner for my pretend husband who would be walking in the door any minute.
Fast forward a hundred years later. It’s dinnertime. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 5:30. […]
A few weeks back, Bleeping Motherhood ran an article called Highway/Prostitute Mom. The article was based on an experience I had while weaning my son from my tit, I mean breast.
The gist of the article was that I was sitting in traffic and got caught massaging my breasts with cabbage leaves to help prevent engorgement.

Let’s talk potty training. Or potty learning. Or getting the hell out of buying more diapers.
I’ve heard cloth diapering is an option. Now in the midst of potty training, I believe that’s what I’m doing. Only, it’s with Elsa waving her magic wand at my daughter, telling her to “let it go” in her brand […]
Halloween is fast approaching and the kids are getting ramped up to go door to door to ask lots of strangers in the neighborhood for candy. Which seems ass backwards, because we tend to teach our kids about stranger danger, as well as not accepting candy from strangers.
But, it’s Halloween and this is how we […]
We recently asked this question to our readers:
My daughter likes to take poopy diapers, bag them up and toss them out the front door.
Is this Fact, Fiction, or am I just Bitchin’?
Most people emailed that they thought it was Fiction. One reader even said “LOL, I really hope this is fake”.
Sadly, this is not Fiction. […]
As a mom, I’m fully aware and cool with the fact that I do not get a ton of “me” time. That everything I do, say and think is accompanied by a tiny person. Either in my lap, on my hip, under my feet, or laying comfortably on my chest.
These are the joys of motherhood. […]
Let’s explore this for a quick sec. Imagine you awake from a comfortable slumber. You go downstairs and Danny Tanner is doing your laundry, Joey Gladstone is playing with your kids and Uncle Jesse is making coffee and cooking your favorite breakfast.
That would be pretty sick, right?
Let’s explore further.
This is the ultimate scenario (in my […]
My walls look like hell, covered with crayon scribble. My coffee is cold and spilled all over the countertop. My folded laundry is unfolded and thrown about my bedroom. All day long, I get TODDLERED.
TODDLERED in the bathroom.
TODDLERED in the living room.
TODDLERED in the shower.
Even when I lay my head down on my pillow at […]
