Here’s a quiz question for you. If the singalong at the library starts at 10 a.m. and we need to get our tickets for it by 9:45 a.m., both children are dressed and fed, and the drive to the library, including parking, takes nine minutes, what time do we need to walk out the door [...]

Netflix has this feature called Friends. The idea behind Friends is that I can see what my friends are watching, what’s in their queue, and what their ratings are. All fine and dandy. A neat idea. My friend Eugene made me one of his Netflix friends. It’s fun to browse through and see what he’s [...]

How can something so beautiful, so sweet, so absolutely yummy want to kill me so badly? That’s the only explanation I can come up with. Sweetie Pie wants me dead. For starters there’s the sleep thing. Is it fair to call it a sleep thing when there’s no sleep involved? Basically, I spend the entire [...]

Our son’s collection of stuffed animals that he must sleep with is growing. The first was Curious George, known simply as George in this house. Then came a doggie. When asked the name of the doggie, Doodles said, “Bark George!” (after the book of the same name). Finally another monkey was added to the menagerie. [...]

Now, however, he knows that it’s supposed to do something and he suddenly realized it doesn’t work. Yesterday, he came into the living room [...]

There’s only one thing worse than dropping off one of the absolute loves of your life off at day care. And that’s dropping her off twice. I really wrangled with sending Sweetie Pie to day care. The fact is, I’m an incredibly lucky person and the only reason I work is because I enjoy it. [...]

My little Sweetie Pie is already doing her own thing! Her first tooth has broken through–and instead of doing one of the two front teeth like every other baby out there, Sweetie Pie chose to begin the teething process with a tooth in the back left of her mouth. My little non-conformist baby!

Adam says he worries that someday he’s going to apply for a job or something and he won’t get it because they’ll say they don’t like him because of something they read about him in my blog. Just to give a little more ammunition, here are some Adam stories. 1) While leaving the Christmas Eve [...]

I’m so not alternative. I saw the greatest baby t-shirt at Ricky’s on Lincoln Road. It said, “I’m so f*ing cute.” And it would have been perfect for Miss Pie. But I’m gutless. I’m afraid of the playground moms. I’m afraid of being skewered on the town’s parenting e-mail list (yes, my town has an [...]
