The Royal Wedding and the hats from Hell
So my sister and I just got done watching the highlights of the Royal Wedding on BBC America. I just have to say it. I love the English. I love their disdain for dentists. I love their pomp and splendor. I love the way they speak. Everything they say, even swear words, sounds refined.
Their hats [...]
Please. Is it that difficult to load a dishwasher?
The other day I discovered something so horrifying I believe it may have just challenged my belief in…well I don’t know what it challenged because frankly nothing can challenge my core belief which is that a good purse and a fabulous haircut can get you anywhere in life, but let’s just say what I discovered [...]
Read More..>>Seriously, how hard is it to get a kid to brush his teeth?
I hate tooth brushing. Oh, I didn’t always hate dental hygiene. Sure, there was that time between birth and adolescence when I didn’t think it was as important as say, daydreaming about marrying Jon Bon Jovi—but I didn’t always hate brushing my teeth.

What’s the deal with the Easter Bunny? Is [...]
Why is my teen always late?

The White Rabbit, from Disney’s Alice in Wonderland
I’m going on record with something just a bit embarrassing. When I was a teenager, I was always late. I took forever in the bathroom, painstakingly applying green eye shadow and [...]
Flashback Friday: Becoming Martha Stewart
I have a love/hate thing for Martha Stewart. So you can imagine my horror when I realized I was becoming her.
I started small. Her magazine looked so pretty and I’d always wanted to learn how to make really good fried chicken. And wasn’t it fortunate that the issue had an informative article on linen closet [...]
Parenting Survival Tips
As I wander through the Land that Time Forgot-parenthood-I realize that I don’t know anything about it. Oh, I’m sure I’ve made mistakes. But frankly, I’ve always believed that any horrifying mistakes I’ve made could be corrected if I just got Junior into the right therapy. Well, I’m hoping for that at least.
Anyway, it did [...]
