Spring is here. The sun is coming out and the winter coats are being put away. Your BFF is asking you to come along on a spring time shopping spree because when temperatures get higher, shirt sleeves and pants legs get shorter. Being the awesome friend that you are, you go with her to the [...]
If she had only invested the $1,500 it cost for a Miracle Ear, she’d still be known as Angelina rather than Gam-alina. We now have answers for what we celebrity gossip addicts have been whispering about since Leg-gate at the 2012 Academy Awards.
I recently was pregnant for about fifteen months. OK, clearly that’s not true–but in the past three years there have only been a total of five months during which I was not pregnant or nursing. As many of you know, both pregnancy and nursing present some challenging wardrobe issues. The fact is this: fashion will [...]
Years ago I dated a woman from Colorado. I made plans to go visit and flew down to spend the weekend. I had told her how, years ago, I wore jeans that were tight in the crotch because I thought women found them sexy. Obviously I was wrong. She made me promise to bring them [...]
There are a few trends for Spring 2012 I am hoping 2013 might weed out for us.
A couple of years ago, I found myself trapped in a house with two very active little boys and a baby. It was the sort of situation guaranteed to crack even the toughest nut. And let’s be fair. I’m not that tough. In a flash of genius, I told the boys I’d make them superhero [...]
My parents bicker. In that make other people uncomfortable because you can’t tell if they’re serious sort of way. Over the years, they have learned to get along by avoiding conflict. They speak minimally, avoid riding in the car together and vacation separately. Yet their Facebook status doesn’t even list “it’s complicated,” because they are [...]
So the holidays are over and we’re all completely broke. I don’t know about you, but I didn’t get the things I wanted most. How about some money-saving secrets for next year? Wanna get me a gift I’ll love without spending all your hard-earned cash? No problem! Here are plenty of FREE ideas for me: A Poop Scoop Fairy. The PSF has [...]
Recently, I joined some colleagues for drinks. They were all men. I hadn’t seen many of these guys in a while and as I looked around the table, I noticed a common theme in their appearance. Every single one of them had noticeably gained weight. And I? I felt victorious.
So it’s Hallowe’en and your kid is all like “Moooooommmmmmmm! I don’t have a costume!” Pshaw, I say. A mother who can’t whip up a costume in 10 minutes flat is no kind of mother in my book. Except apparently the whole white sheet + holes for eyes and mouth thing is getting tiresome for [...]
Halloween scares me. Not the ghosts and goblins rigmarole–I’m talking being scared as a parent with young girls. I’ve watched my two stepdaughters get dressed up and take candy from strangers going on five years now. It’s always been fun for them, of course, but as the girls have gotten older, I’ve noticed an unsettling trend when [...]
Ah, back to school time! To celebrate the impending demise of summer, I’ve taken my boys shopping for clothes. They have rules. They prefer classic colors, all cotton clothing and elastic waistband pants only, shoes that don’t tie, no zippers or buttons. It’s not hard. KIDDING! It’s nearly impossible to find clothing that meets their [...]
