Over a Decade

on January 5, 2010 in Love Life

When you have been married for over a decade, things happen. Your takeout and date night turns into eating leftovers and watching your husband work while you sit on your ass and watch The Worst Cooks in America and spend your $25 itunes gift card and you inform motherbumper that, sadly, Viggo Mortensen has a [...]

Aiming Low’s Back Burner Recipe Contest

by Brittany Gibbons

on January 4, 2010 in Playing House

Dinner is a privilege people, not a right. At least, that’s what my apron says. Ok, I made that up. My apron really says, Cat: the other white meat. Regardless. There comes a time where people expect to be fed, and they seem, overall, to be happier when it doesn’t make them barf, and it’s [...]

I’ve told this tale numerous times already. In the lobby of the Maison Dupuy in New Orleans, at Café Du Monde while eating beignets and nursing an amazing café au lait, via Skype to my mother, on my back porch to my mother-in-law, and now I will share it with you: It all started with [...]

Or maybe I should just move to the Jersey Shore…

With the New Year upon us, I feel pressure to make resolutions, even if only to break them, like I normally do. But, you see, I’m in a huge rut. A funk. Big fat lull. Emphasis on the big and fat. I’m grossing myself out. Learning that when your pants fall down, epidemically, it’s NOT [...]

The Monday before Christmas, I found myself on an early morning visit to the emergency room. Pain had jolted me from sleep and on my way to the hospital it was getting worse. When I arrived at the emerg, I was a shade of green that bordered on grey and totally facilitated immediate service for [...]

A long, long time ago in the early 90s I was married to someone else. And was about eight months pregnant with my now 14 year old daughter. Side note: This story is *not* about how I just made myself sound like an eighty year old woman, nor is it about the “good ol days.” [...]

I’m Going To Teach A Class About How To Be An Awesome Parent. It’s Going To Be Called “Don’t Do What I Do.”

Dylan is apparently terrified of Santa. Which is surprising to me, because…it’s fucking Santa. What’s not to love about a jolly fat man who delivers presents? I knew he was a little freaked out about it, but I really had NO IDEA that he was completely, absolutely, Jason vs. Freddie terrified of Santa. So being [...]

My Post of Parenting Fails

by Mishelle Lane

on December 28, 2009 in Parenting

I’m a pretty good mother. At least, I think I am a good one. Ze kids are smart, they thrive, they have good manners, their sense of humor is really awesome, and–even if some days I want to run screaming for the hills–they are all around good kids. Just for those that don’t know: I [...]
