So you just have your baby and are in the midst of the chaos of learning how to take care of it. You’re accepting the fact that there’s no recovery time for you and your body is taking the backseat to this new bundle of joy. (I use the word “joy” loosely) So while your […]
About a month ago, I was out running errands with my sister preparing for my son’s 2nd Birthday party. Unsuspecting of what was to come, I walk into Party City with two balloons I had purchased at the Target Dollar Spot and present them to the employee to be filled with helium. What ensued was […]
I remember a few years ago, hearing a lady in a checkout line tell her kid “if you stop crying, I’ll get you a cookie.” Then thinking to myself, how I would never do that with my future children. Fast forward to today where I have two kids that are 3 and under and now […]
“You know what would help your kid?” Annnnnd no. Let me stop you right there. Unless you’re a pediatrician, psychologist or one of my close friends, don’t even try it. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying I don’t want help with issues with my kids. But here’s the difference. Let me ask you […]

Doc McStuffins – Thanks for teaching my kids to bust up their toys and try and “fix” them. I now have a teddy bear that my kid ripped open, pulled stuffing out and then mushed her glue stick all over it to close it back up. Looks like the Doc doesn’t really know her stuff. […]
There are very few things that compare with the relief, nay the unbridled joy, of realizing you’ve arrived at your play destination just after everyone has bailed for lunch. You have the whole place practically to yourself. This is your sanctuary. Your incense? The sweet nectar of chlorine bleach because thank the sweet lord baby […]
7:30am – I hear stirring over the monitor which is my cue to start my day. Do I have time to take a shower? No. I hear my bosses calling for me to come to their offices. I arrive and help both bosses change into their work attire. 7:55am – Bring them both their breakfast […]
