Boys

I never knew how easy I had it with my daughter. She would sit and play quietly with her blocks. Even once in a while she would look up at me and giggle, or ask me to read a story. No biggie. Then I had my son. *cue the Macaulay Culkin scream from Home Alone* That kid just won't sit down. People warned me about this. They told me this would happen. But I didn't believe them. "No, he acts like … [Continue reading...]

Hiding The Pooch: Stay Away From The “Mom Jeans”

I was lucky in that when I was pregnant, I mostly gained weight in my boobs, belly and ankles. Nowhere else. But when I had the baby, the places where I gained weight became, well, saggy.

Mommy Milestone #1

I'm driving home with my kids. I gave my daughter my cell phone to hold. She likes pressing buttons and looking at the screensaver. It buys me some time before she starts getting antsy. As I'm driving, I look up in the rearview mirror and notice she has the phone up to her ear, babbling away. "Sweetie, who are you talking to?" "I'm talking to NaNa," she says, quickly continuing to gibberjab … [Continue reading...]

When I think of all the ways my life has changed since I became a mother more than two years ago, the thing that stands out most is how I quit being so selfish.

I'm probably one of the most ambitious people you will ever meet. (Or whose blog you read, since you don't know me IRL.) Wanted to be a writer since I was a little girl marking up my mom's walls with crayons. (Which she's still mad about, by the way.) So I've made that a big part of my life. I'm in PR, which meaning there's a lot of writing and storytelling with my job. Then there's my second … [Continue reading...]
