Doo doo, doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo
My family took a lot of vacations - mostly by car, a white Lincoln Continental that was my father’s fortieth birthday present to himself. Washington DC, Williamsburg, Cape Cod, Martha’s Vineyard, and Newport - those were the biggies. While the rest of my classmates took road trips down I-75 to Florida, we stuck […]

Getting lucky
Dear Kyle,
There’s not a single day when I don’t reflect on how ridiculously fortunate I am to have you as my husband.
Sure, I grumble every day too - in fact, right now there’s an empty Natty Light case sitting on the kitchen island, apparently waiting to be spirited away by elves - but a little […]

Hit and (re)run
Old post up at Mile High Mamas - but it has the potential to cause a decent-sized trainwreck, so go check it out.
New buttons up at the League of Maternal Justice, along with more information. Tremendous thank you’s to everyone (including those who aren’t mothers) who is getting in on the act - this […]

Did you think we were just going to go off in a huff?
Hell no. We bloggers know how to MOBILIZE.
We’re just ramping up, but you’d better believe we’ve got some plans in the works. For now, go check out some stats and statutes over at The Parental is Political, and go grab a button over at the League of Maternal Justice.

The 4Cs: Conflict, criticism, compassion, and confidence
For all the conflict that ensues between mothers, particularly in anonymous or semi-anonymous forums, we still share many of the same challenges and concerns. As foreign as another’s viewpoint may be, that other person is a mother just like we are. Our common ground may be the size of a postage stamp, but […]

Marital strife
Updated below:
There are a few events that will push even the most intimate couple to opposite ends of the couch.
Such as when the husband buys a vintage Mustang without consulting the wife. Or the wife is caught flirting with the gardener. Or either mother-in-law comes to live in the guest room for an […]

Untimely inspiration
I need a new winter coat.
My black wool pea coat is nearly ten years old. It’s missing at least three buttons from various locations because I wore it during my pregnancy with Tacy and literally popped buttons off while running for the M66 bus. More than once.
It has served me well in terms […]

First, do no harm*
I’m not going to dissect the statements made by Facebook with regard to their terms of use and the supposed violation of those terms by the posting of breastfeeding pictures. Per the quotes at It’s Not A Lecture, a fully exposed breast violates those terms. I haven’t combed through Facebook accounts looking for […]

Operation Annoy Seniors, Take Two
We’re heading back to the rec center with CJ in tow this morning.
I’m not hopeful. It’s not been a good week, behavior-wise.
On Saturday morning, Kyle took Tacy for an outing while CJ and I stayed behind. She screamed and cried and kicked and flung herself at the back door for a full fifteen minutes. She […]
