If you think about it, it’s the perfect job for a mom: Leaving your baby in the middle of night. No babysitter needed (assuming you have a spouse at home). No need to provide eating/napping instructions to anyone. No need to go through the rigamarole of saying ‘bye-bye’ to baby and sneaking out the door…

The thing that saved my a$$ this week…
It was a busy week. The thing that saved me? Nighttime showers. Silly, but true. This week turned out to be a 5-day workweek for me (woohoooo!!!) and was chock full with prepping (shopping, cooking, wrapping, planting… basically anything with an -ing on the end of it) for LadyP’s 1st birthday party this Saturday (post…
Why I wanted my Mommy.
Yesterday was a good day. A fun day. A learning day. A goal-accomplishing day. And yes, I wanted my mommy. Not because I was scared, intimidated or uncertain. Quite the opposite. I was H-A-P-P-Y.

Mad about Moonfrye! Win Punky Brewster’s new book “Happy Chaos.”

Of course I’m not allowed to talk details about it, but I’ve been walking on air with a wee bit of disbelief about the sequence of events…
The F- & G-words I hate the most. You should too.
Parenting Fails = Quite possibly worst words in the world. I must rant about this. I’m SICK of hearing moms say “I feel like I’m failing.” It also tries my patience hearing moms say they feel “guilty.” Stop it. Now. Because you’re not, you shouldn’t… and it’s offending me. Every time a woman says “failure” or “guilt”…
Moms at Work: How Justin Timberlake made me cope.
Moms at work can sometimes mean… drama. Some people live day by day. I live hour by hour (and I will argue it’s better). You might want to try it too. I’m just recovering from my Saturday: it was schizophrenic… highs, lows and wild moments of in-between. The skill of ‘staying in the moment’ is…
