Fall. Is there a better time to be a parent? With all the festivals? In my area alone, there’s an apple festival, garlic festival and cheese festival. Let’s not even get started with the overall fall festivals, pumpkin festivals, and our latest excursion, the kite festival.
The kite festival came at a good time because our […]
Camping. The quintessential family vacation. Let’s all leave our climate controlled homes, with our modern day conveniences that we’ve worked hard to acquire, and sleep outside where the only thing that protects you from an animal attack is your husband’s snores and a thin rayon tent.
Both my husband and I grew up camping. In my […]
When we were asked to review Does Grandma Have A Mustache by Rita Ann Fleming, my first thought was, hmm, DOES grandma have a mustache?
After pondering grandma’s upper lip for a moment, then my own upper lip, I thought, I better read this book.

Some days I want to run away. I feel like the little girl I was many years ago who wanted desperately to escape; to run and never stop. I still have days like that. I just want to flee. I cannot handle what life is throwing at me some days and I have an […]
As a child, summers in upstate New York usually consisted of going to Old Forge and spending a day at Enchanted Forest Water Safari. Decades later, my mom set up a great day trip, and I had an opportunity to bring my own children there to experience all the fun.

I do remember a time […]
Eating, one of the constant bane’s of a mother’s existence.
There’s the food you buy that you want your children to eat, there’s the food that goes bad because they won’t eat it (even if it was perfectly acceptable yesterday), and then there’s the things they actually do eat.
My children eating affects me in two different […]
It starts small. A cover ripped off a book. Maybe yours, maybe one of your kids. You shake your head at the shame of this random destruction and vow to be the parent that doesn’t let your kid destroy their house.
Then, maybe they mash some cheerios in the carpet. Not too bad, that cleans up […]
Resting Toddler Face is real. You know it all too well. You just didn’t know what to call it. You thought it was a stage that would soon pass. Nope. It’s Resting Toddler Face. And it only gets worse.
Resting Toddler Face (RTF), can strike at any time. You may look over at your toddler and […]

I love being a mom. I really do. I enjoyed both of my pregnancies. It felt like a magical time, growing a tiny little person. I actually looked forward to labor. (Who the fuck in their right mind looks forward to natural childbirth?!) But I did. All of it. I enjoyed it.
Little […]
