If you know your kid is a bully and do nothing to stop it, you are part of the problem. If you are a bully and blame it on being bullied, you are still part of the problem. If you are in politics and keep passing stupid laws to make people jump through burning hoops, you are part of the problem. If you are a
Last night at the Tribal Blogs Slumber Party we got to talking about bad hair or drunk hairdressers or maybe it was just bad marriages. I'm not really sure because the conversation was going so quickly. Anyway, I mentioned that I looked like Lucille Ball at my first wedding and of course everyone wanted to see a picture. So I posted this Because the conversation
Jonathan Yuhas, my local weatherman at Kare11, said this morning* that by the end of the week we could see some tulips poking through the ground. I don't think so. Temps aren't supposed to be higher than the lower 50s with most nights still reaching the 30s. It was 17 F this morning. I know a lot of you people in the rest of the
Both of my children had a birthday in the last week. My daughter turned 8 and my son turned 18. The fact that my son will soon be flying away from the nest when he goes off to college next year has had me reflecting on many things. I can't believe how fast the last 18 years have gone. Aside from the toddler years my
I'm talking to you Gwyneth Paltrow and Angelina Jolie so listen up. Stop making motherhood look so damn easy. Stop running around in your Uggs and your perfectly couiffed hair-dos because that is not what mothers look like.

Yes, it's that time again! Time to order your holiday treats!!!! Jayne has been bugging me about the Bourbon Balls for a few months now so even though it has been unseasonably warm in these parts, and I'm not really in the holiday spirit yet, it's going to sneak up on all of us so now is a great time to order these treats.
I'm co-hosting a discussion over at The Motherhood today! Doug Block filmed his daughter her whole life. And then it came time for her to go off to college. Doug's new movie The Kids Grow Up focuses primarily on the year before she went off to college. Join Doug and his wife Marjorie Silver for a live chat TODAY. We'll talk about our kids leaving
Image by Ham Hock via Flickr Sorry, there isn't much to see here today. The summer has caught up to me. The heat wave finally broke and we are having sun and temps in the 70s with little humidity. That happened after we got 6 inches of rain on Friday. Luckily all the furniture in the basement had already been ruined by the last flood
Maybe it's the heat. Maybe it's the humidity. Maybe it's just this. These are not my dishes. The sink was empty, I swear, five minutes ago when I unloaded the dishwasher. I don't know what it is but I have been rethinking this whole motherhood thing. When I got myself into this mess I really thought it was going to be a lot of fun,
