I have temporarily pulled my post about my latest parenting issue with my little guy because a link to my blog in The New York Times this weekend has brought a flood of readers who are not used to reading blogs written by moms. They’re used to reading the Times. I’m sure you see the…

Oh, bumpers! I meant to write yesterday about today’s Chuggington marathon on Playhouse Disney, but I’ve been attending to a very sick little chugger and it got away from me. That said, my little man and I are enjoying watching Wilson, Koko, and Brewster right now and wanted to tell everyone on the west coast…

Look who found the sun and told me what he thinks of winter…

How are you doing with the 30 Days of Change Parenting Challenge? Which daily challenges have you chosen from the list of parenting challenges?

Last month while planning for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration, more than one friend told me that they wished they could download my Disney knowledge into their mobile phone to take with them into the parks. Now they can do one better than that – they can download Disney’s Disney knowledge into their mobile…

Every child loves a good game of hide and seek. There are the fun butterflies they get in their tummies when they’re waiting to be discovered and the pride they feel when they’re able to count to ten and then yelling, “Ready or not, here I come!” But children who are hidden from the U.S….

Look how amazing my legs look since I began the Earth Footwear 30 Day Challenge! Okay, so that’s not really me. But my legs do look and feel much better! When I first began wearing the shoes, I had to adjust to the internal incline. The first couple of times I wore the shoes I…

A year and a half ago I attended a small, one day blog conference. I had only been blogging three months, so this was my first time interacting with other bloggers…and witnessing the buzz of companies hovering around bloggers with business cards in hand and likewise bloggers spinning from table to table, hoping to make…

Last week I received an e-mail telling me about a site called Two of Us. I receive outreach from many sites – some of them resourceful, many of them not – but this one caught my eye because of something called “The Couples Experiment.” Many of you know about and are trying my 30 Days…

…she came into my life screaming, angry, two months early and ready to take over the world on her schedule. Happy Birthday, Emma. Thanks for making me a mom.

Last weekend the kids and I took advantage of my husband’s work travel to surprise him with some master bedroom changes. In all of the digging and moving, I found my old video recorder as well as the video from our wedding nearly nine years ago. I got the kids settled on our bed and…

The view from my front door. The view of my front door. Hope Springs eternal.

FACT: I am 30 pounds overweight and soft from spending days either sitting at a computer or exhausted from chasing my three year old or driving my five year old here there and everywhere. FACT: The healthiest time in my life was in graduate school when I didn’t own a car and walked everywhere I…

You won’t believe what’s happening next…

How did you do today? As predicted, my husband was home with us today because of snow, which meant that he was trying to work from home, I was trying to work from home, and both kids were home….no school! We had the potential for major blowouts, especially given the fact that last night he…

How did you do today? Did you take the challenge? Today was especially tricky for me for a couple of reasons. The first is that I’m preparing to travel for work, so anxiety is high and patience is low. The second is that we had a busy day that included a trip to the dentist…
