I ran into a friend from my elementary school days… It’s funny, we went to high school together, too, but she seems so proud to tell her friends, “We were friends in kindergarten!”
I haven’t seen her since I moved back to the States;indeed, I didn’t even get in touch with her when I got back. […]
During the month of October, we’ll be hosting our first ever Family and Relationships Channel Blogtoberfest.
We’re planning to run this event for approximately two weeks during the month of October (or until the prizes run out). And during that two weeks, we’ll be giving away some amazing prizes.
We’ve already come up with a few […]
I picked up a copy of October’s issue of Eating Well. I couldn’t resist. With headlines like “28 Healthy in a Hurry Recipes” and “Delicious One-Skillet Suppers”, what’s not to love?
How about “Glorious Broccoli”? We all know the trick of sprinkling some grated cheese over hot broccoli, but don’t you want the recipe for […]
This nifty woman showed up on my blog radar today, and I thought I’d share her with you.
Dr. Leah.
If anyone knows what we’re going through, I think it’s Dr. Leah:
My role as a single parent came abruptly and unexpectedly. I had been living in upstate New York, with my husband and our two young […]
I Can Has Cheezburger is providing me with a well-needed smile this evening. I’m working for well, for work–yes, on Sunday night. I’m coming down with a cold. The King of Everything is coming down with a cold. My mother (and most likely, my father, too) is coming down with a cold. I have a […]
US News and World Report’s article, New Mommy Track Blends Home and Work, just depresses me. They interviewed women with husbands and nannies and high-tracked careers to prove that women are making their own rules and finding new ways to make a balance of career and family work.
For the average wage slave, single mom, this […]
Patricia Dalton of the Washington Post writes an amusing, wry, and interesting article on the loss of respect in parental circles. Go ahead and read, “A Lost Art: Instilling Respect”.
Could you imagine if your child had no respect for you? The author writes that one father actually would run from his abusive child.
What kind of […]
The King of Everything was turning into a sugar junkie. To my horror, I realized I was one of his dealers. He would throw sh*t fits when he didn’t get dessert–and to him, dessert meant something sweet. With refined sugar in it. And let me tell you, his Dessert Tremors were horrible to watch whenever […]
Today, I’m thinking about my cousin, whose birthday it is today. She’s three years younger than I, and this year has thrown her some challenges that have been hard to stand. She’s the most cheerful woman I know. Sweet, even. Generous with her time and her smile.
When this day rolls around, as it has with […]
I get requests for help, advice, encouragement. I try to repsond to each one personally, even though I’m usually as clueless as anyone when it comes to living more than day to day.
But I’d love to be able to help a little more. So please, when you reach out, tell me where you live. I […]
