My son has always been a happy and smiley boy. His first smiles were huge, infectious and almost goofy. I knew right away that he was going to be an outgoing kid who would no doubt keep me on my toes. No one can make that boy laugh (and cry!) the way his big sister…

Rihanna’s Hopeless Place? The Potty.
We found love in a hopeless place We found love in a hooooopeless place We found love in a hopeless place 319 more times Soul, R&B, and Pop uber-queen Rihanna remains tight lipped as to the location of the Hopeless Place she sings about in her Number One total club banger superhit, but I believe…
10… No, 7 Things I’ve Lost with Mamihood
1. The perky boobs I paid for. I mean, really! I nursed for almost 16 months (in your face, people who told me I couldn’t do it!). Now my nipples look a little sad, it’s like they’re looking down in shame now that they don’t have a job. We’ve looked in the classified ads but…

With kindergarten looming, I think it might be in her best interest if she stops announcing it and is given a code word; something…
How to Celebrate Your Birthday in Style
It’s my birthday today. Yup. I’m going to be 29 again. I’ve been turning 29 for six years now. Lots of time to get the perfect 29th birthday planned. First, I’m going to read though the journals I kept as a teenager and laugh at my angsty teenage self. This will allow me to feel…
Breast is Best, Except for When it’s Not
Breastfeeding rocks. I am all for boobies and babies. It was by far one of the most connected experiences I have ever shared with another human being. Looking down into the eyes of your precious little one’s face and seeing the look of complete dependence for sustenance is amazing if extremely overwhelming. Sure, I’ve been…
