If a meme is good enough for Dooce…
…then who am I to scoff at it?
Of course she did it nearly two months ago, which ought to give you an idea of the number of degrees of separation between her and me, but I read Amanda’s answers and thought it might be fun to do it myself. Especially since I hear a lot [...]

Let’s talk about sex. On second thought, let’s not.
I have to admit that I enjoy the satisfaction of having tackled a tough topic with my kids, realizing that we all emerged unscathed. Politics, religion, racism, and gay marriage – we’ve done our best to be objective and respectful while putting these sticky topics into terms that kids can understand.
Of course, now and then [...]

March
I brought the March of Dimes pamphlet home a few weeks ago and put it on the kitchen table next to my laptop. I moved it a few times, but I always found a safe place for it because I knew I wanted to write about it soon.
Then this morning, I woke up to find [...]

‘Cause you gotta have friends
Tomorrow we are having a birthday party, here at the house, for Tacy.
We went through a few iterations of where to have the party and what to do at the party, but the one point on which there wasn’t much deliberation was whom to invite. She rattled off a list of names, and I ticked [...]

Shredding my shame
I haven’t bought a workout DVD in more than a decade. After all, who needs DVDs when there are rooftop gyms in New York and bike trails in Colorado? I can’t even make it through most classes without rolling my eyes, let alone a rah-rah video shot in a fake studio.
When I work out, it’s [...]

Something fishy this way comes
I was cleaning out my inbox when I found it. I’d practically forgotten about that email and the two replies I’d sent, and I’d already chalked it up to a no-go.
But because my friend Susan Getgood is always on the lookout for blogger outreach examples, both good and bad, I decided to forward it to [...]

Houston, we had absolutely no problems whatsoever
At the Mom 2.0 Carnivale on Friday night, I had a rare opportunity to talk with Lisa Stone for more than fifteen seconds – rare because she has to be one of the busiest people I know, but she’s also one of the most genuinely caring and approachable.
I’d spent a bit of time at Mom [...]

There’s a little bit of redneck in all of us
Some people have to make an effort to be a redneck. For me, it just happens naturally, thanks to sheer laziness.
Take, for example, what I prepared for dinner the other night: boxed Kraft Macaroni ‘n’ Cheese. That in itself isn’t so awful, but the “Best Before” date on the box was January 2008.
It is entirely [...]

Child-free company
That’s the best incentive I’ve found yet to clean up the damn house.
Don’t get me wrong; I keep the place clean. Regrettably, I’m on the neat freak end of the cleanliness spectrum. That’s regrettable because not only do I drive my family crazy with my cleaning compulsions (which have relaxed considerably over the past six [...]

In breastfeeding, feeding is the operative word
[Edited below]
I’d been thinking about reactivating my Facebook profile.
Yeah, I know. I railed against them – many times and in many places – for removing pictures of breastfeeding mothers while continuing to allow pro-ana groups. But it had been a while, and I heard my high school graduating class had a group on there, and [...]
