BIGGER. BIGGER! Make it bigger. Do it bigger. Bigger is better. (Dance mom here.) Anyone who studied dance at the same studio I did growing up (you know who you are… Smooth Criminals forever…) associates the word “bigger” with equal parts affection, fear and love.

A fancy easy vacation snack. If you’re not on vacation.
Who’s *NOT* on vacation? ME. Nope. Not bitter at all. Nobody tells you that vacation planning gets more complicated when you have children to contend with (schedules! classes! complexity of flying!) — excuses, excuses. What a fail. But I’m not on vacation so I have to blame something tangible… What’s a busy mom to do?…

She’s actually the Real Fab Mom — focused, fun & fabulous after having babies. (I’m just pretending to be because I bought the URL and put my picture on the home page…)…
Mother’s Day wish list: Consider yourself warned.
Dear everyone (especially Husband), Last week you asked me if there was anything in particular on my Mother’s Day wish list. I said No, don’t be silly. I lied. Here’s what I’d love for Mother’s Day this year. (You asked, so please don’t be confused when you read it in print.) The following requests have been…
Armenian Moms: Step up our parenting.
Armenian moms are hot in the news these days. Kim Kardashian in her red pantsuit at one of the most somber memorials on the planet… Kanye West performing IN Yerevan, Armenia’s Swan Lake… The Pope declaring in front of God and everyone that 1915’s atrocities against the Christian citizens of then-Armenia were in fact genocide. Who knew it’d take…
