Mom, I’m BORED. Oh to have the luxury of boredom. Because boredom is indeed a luxury. I don’t remember the last time I was bored. But my kids. Oh they do get bored. Mom, I’m BORED. If only I had a nickel . . . I’m convinced that the reason kids get bored nowadays is [...]
I never had a sister. I grew up with a younger brother, and while we get along great now, we grew up fighting like cats and dogs. But we were four years apart in age, and we had very different interests and personalities, and I suppose a little bit of bickering goes with the territory. [...]
Friday was my 39th birthday. Many have wished me a happy “first 39th birthday,” as it seems to be the one many want to hold on to. I admit, I do get a bit caught up in the numbers. I usually start calling myself the next number at least 6 months in advance, to get [...]
My daughter isn’t necessarily the ballerina type. She’s always been big for her age, and when she asked to take ballet lessons, I knew it had more to do with her desire to wear a sparkly tutu than it did with her love for the dance. But I’m the type of parent that thinks that [...]
I have to admit, I’ve always thought the preschool graduation hoopla was a little bit ridiculous. I even blogged about it once, and received a variety of responses — some which pretty much told me to get a life and that I clearly don’t care about my kids. Frankly, I think kids these days get [...]
My son is generally very accepting of the food changes I’ve made in our household. Being the oldest, you’d think that he would be the one to put up the biggest stink, but he is actually quite interested in why I choose to buy certain foods and to avoid others. He’s been learning about “nutrition” [...]
I will never forget the time when my parents made me walk across the street by myself and apologize to a neighbor for a wrong doing. I was probably 10 years old, or something like that. I had done something stupid (I don’t even remember what it was anymore) and the consequences of my actions [...]
I love the preschool years. Yes, every age has its charms (and its pitfalls) but there is something particularly precious about the preschool years. They are learning and growing both socially and cognitively at such a rapid pace. (And of course, they still think their mommy hung the moon.) After 8 years of preschool, we are officially moving [...]
I hope all you mothers out there have a lovely and relaxing day today. But on this Mother’s Day, please don’t forget those ladies among you who want desperately to have children and have not been able to conceive. Infertility is such a heart-breaking and often lonely affliction, and I know that today is one [...]
