Tell me if this scenario has ever played itself out in your house:
You wake up from a decent night’s sleep. You and your little darlings head downstairs to read classic literature (watch an obscene amount of cartoons) and have a healthy, organic breakfast (out of a box).
However, when you pop open the pantry, you notice [...]
Wouldn’t it be great if you could clone yourself? I cannot tell you how many times IN A DAY I wish that there were two of me. For my husband that is a nightmare. Two of my opinions. Two of my debit cards. Two of my never-ending-things-I-want-to-do-to-the-house lists. I just don’t think the poor [...]
Okay, okay, so you KNOW whether you are a recently married couple or one that has already added some branches to the family tree. But, here is a little quiz that points out a few distinctions between these two groups. Tally up your results to see where you land!
1. What time do you usually [...]
If I were a Native American that would be my name: Broken Record Skipping CD. It is not as glamorous as Dances with Wolves, but it is indicative of the fact that I seem to say the same thing over and over again. Instead of hunting buffalo or fashioning a skirt from animal hides, I [...]

My keen observation skills have helped me develop a list of Moms. Although we [...]
I would like to preface this point by saying that I truly do ATTEMPT to avoid cursing. Although years ago I might as well have been a sailor, things changed in my life and cursing just didn’t seem as cool or necessary as it had previously. However, when you slam your finger in the fridge [...]

Let me preface this by saying that we are not bitter man haters. Our husbands are wonderful people whom we love to death. If my husband started a blog, the “My Wife Doesn’t Know How to Empty the Trash” and “How Can One Car Get So Dirty” type posts would far outnumber mine. He [...]
Some motherhood matters. The rest is just good for laughs.

Free time is a precious commodity. And sometimes, as a mom, even free time isn’t free. It just means that we let the kids go wild for 15 minutes while we talk on the phone. As long as there is minimal screaming and nothing [...]
Who knew that such a basic practice of good hygiene would one day be such a challenge? Not me.
When you have a young child, bathing becomes something you actually have to schedule. Since when did scrubbing your pits become a task on your To Do List? It’s pathetic. It’s so sad that not smelling like [...]
