There’s a new column out in my old neighborhood’s local paper, the Hill Rag. The column is called “Hill Raising: the anonymous adventures of a Capitol Hill Mom“, and if its maiden voyage is any indication, this is one to keep an eye on.
Thanks to an ongoing battle of “I don’t like condoms” (The Husband) […]
Why are you sitting in front of the computer? In most parts of the US, it’s a beautiful day. Do you know where your picnic blanket is?
It’s picnic weather. Throw some cheese, crackers, sparkling fruit juice, grapes and treats into a backpack and go somewhere. Even if it’s just to your own back yard.

Hop on over to Unclutterer for five things you can do this weekend to spring into a less cluttered season.
Dennis Driscoll started up a DIY forum to help folks become more handy around the house. Swing by I Don’t Need a Man if you’ve got a helpful hint or need one for your own […]

I love our new home. It’s in walking distance to everything, including a beautiful Whole Foods. My kid, being the urban socialite he is, enjoys walking to the grocery store, sampling the exotic cheeses and fruits carefully sliced and presented with toothpicks. He tries to convince me to buy breakfast cereals because there might be […]
Certain toys seem to be the bane of my single mother existence.
I’ve got Quadrilla down, and might even get an expansion set, just because… I like the toy.
I’ll play basketball and football, knights and his castle games, I’ll even let him challenge me to a duel. He’s a boy. I get it.

Some folks responded to yesterday’s post with a “Right on, sister!” while others were terrified, or thought I was nuts for advocating independence for older children. Have you looked at the map of pedophiles in your neighborhood? some asked. One woman wrote an impassioned rant about shooting in schools — um, that happens in one […]
