I’ve had an overwhelming response from mombloggers in real life, on twitter and here on my blog to my Momblogger is Not a Dirty Word post. It’s been incredibly gratifying to hear from all of these writers and bloggers who are also funny, dedicated and hard working moms. But, one of my favorite things to [...]

Last week when the media world was all aflutter with Steven Slater the Jet Blue flight attendant and his incredibly brash and dramatic exit down the emergency slide, beer in hand and profanities flying, everyone wondered if all civility and decency had finally been lost in air travel. But, this past Monday, according to news [...]

My daughters left for sleep-away camp on Monday. They come home on Sunday. A short one week trial of sleep-away camp to see if they’d like it, to give them a gentle nudge towards independence. (At least that’s the way my hard core camp husband sold it to me.) Here’s the thing about sleep-away camp [...]

I didn’t realize how much this summer would be about my daughters moving up (to 3rd grade), moving out (to sleep away camp) and moving on (cleaning out their toys.) But obviously the idea of them growing up and entering a new phase of their lives, which means I am entering a new phase of [...]

My daughters finished 2nd grade and now at 8 years old they have declared themselves to be “tweens.” I personally thought the whole tween thing was for ages 10-12, the real prepubescent years with middle school and all those horrors. But no, Time Out Kids had an entire tween issue and right there on the [...]

When I head to the grocery store I have a few lists – my mental list, my husband’s written down list of things he’s noticed we need, and lastly my subconscious list that gets triggered as I walk the aisles (or depending on how hungry and/or PMS I am the evil list that somehow throws [...]

Ok, so maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. But every year I swear I am not going to have a big party for my girls. I’m not going to knock myself out and spend a ridiculous amount time planning and executing a custom party. And then with four days to go I find myself schlepping down [...]

It’s All About the Teacher

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week. I’m sure there’s a Hallmark card out there for it, but the only reason I know about it is through the various teachers and educators I follow on twitter. (Those tech minded teachers are a very chatty and resourceful bunch!) It’s funny to me that Teacher Appreciation Week is [...]
