When you're a mom, politics get personal.

Beauty: Top Down

Has anybody seen my mojo? It flew the coop. I’m gonna be brutally honest with you (and myself) right now.  I look rough. My hair looks rough, my skin looks rough, my body looks soft and squishy, and my feet…actually my feet look pretty good.  Pink nail polish and a little lotion on my heels [...]

Father’s Day Giveaway: Custom Art from JessaZG

So, Father’s Day is coming. And my husband doesn’t need a tie. Or an ashtray. Or a bowling ball. I’m not ever sure if he knows how to bowl.  I really suck at bowling so I never suggested it when were dating because I wanted him to, you know, like me.  Anyhoo, Father’s Day. It’s [...]

It’s Friday and I Can’t Come Up With a Good Title

Normally, I write like a banshee all weekend, get most of my posts for the week queued up, then spend my weeknights sipping pinot noir and watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern.  This week however, I’ve been writing every night to scrape together something resembling a post for the following day.  Because I spent last [...]

Mama Kat’s Writers Workshop: Vindication At Long Last

Mama Kat!  Mama Kat! Mama Kat is giving me an opportunity to write about vengeance! Muahahahahaha!!!!! 3.) What would it take? Write an imaginary scene where someone you are still angry with finally deserves to be forgiven. When I was in high school, all I wanted to do was be in musicals.  I went to [...]

I Thee Wed

So. I have thoughts. Big ones.  Loud ones. Messy ones.  This week a lot of those thoughts are about marriage. First, came my little shock about Al and Tipper Gore divorcing.  That was like, whoa. If those two crazy kids can’t make it, then what is marriage all about? Well, lucky for me, Rabbi Schmuley [...]

Weekend Adventure: Adventures in Blogging and a Giveaway

They gave me cupcakes. Also? Wine. And it was good. But let me explain.  On Sunday, I was invited to the Silicon Valley Moms Group Brand/Blogger Meet-up for the DC Metro Moms community. It was at the Ritz-Carlton (one of the brands that was part of the event) in Arlington and I was totally stoked [...]

Hey Rabbi! I AM SQUARING UP ON YOU!

UPDATED: Apparently, the article that caused me to breathe fire and vomit pea soup was from 2006.  Which does not absolve him because as far as I know there has been no Universal Clemency From Douche-Baggery 2006 Edition granted. However, I will give him some credit for trying to explain himself and being willing to [...]

A Tease and My Reading List

As I write this, I just got home from one of the most awesome events of my (short) blogging life.  It was the Silicon Valley Moms Groups Brand/Blogger event for DC Metro Moms and some Philly Moms. There were about 15 major brands present, all of them wanting input from mom bloggers on how to [...]

Guest Post: Taming Insanity

A couple of weeks ago, KLZ over at Taming Insanity was kind enough to let me guest post and defend myself in the face of (mostly self-inflicted) (but entirely true) accusations of uncoolness.  I did this in response to her gut-bustingly (is that a word?  It is now.) funny posts about how she, her sister, [...]
