This is tough stuff and I’m not going to sugar-coat it. One of my dearest friends just passed away and I’d say the hardest challenge as a mom was what, when, and how to bring my children in the loop. So the following post is my two cents, for what they’re worth, of the down […] Read more…

What Do You Mean It’s Not All About Me?
Dealing with people is like one giant Rorschach Test. If I’m in a good mood then I find that just about everyone I come in contact with that day are some of the loveliest people on the planet. On the flip side if I’m harried or in a pissy mood the world seems to be […] Read more…
Is Daddy Doin’ Work A Turn Off?
Have you ever had one of those moments when someone says something so crazy it feels like they just told you they sky is in fact green not blue? And they totally believe it. And they are pissed you don’t agree? You’re like, “Is my name Alice and have I just fallen down a rabbit […] Read more…
People Say You Shouldn’t Meet Your Heroes….Turns Out They’re Wrong
I had the most crazy out of body experience last week. The Katie-Freaking-Couric Show asked me to be a guest on a show about bread winning mothers. Yes that Katie-Freaking-Couric: trail-blazing first female anchor of a national nightly news program, single mother who bravely raised her daughters after losing her fist husband to cancer, America’s sweetheart, THAT […] Read more…
In Defense of Barbie #Unapologetic
As a young girl I had one of the most magnificent Barbie doll collections. I had a whole Barbie case chock full of every outfit imaginable – from roller skating party attire complete with leg-warmers to iridescent ball gowns with puffy sleeves and hot pink tulle. I had the Barbie Dream House, Barbie’s swimming pool, Barbie’s convertible […] Read more…
Sleeping Arrangement Insanity
I sleep in utter and complete chaos. Every morning I wake up drenched with sweat, slightly claustrophobic, and curled into an impossibly small ball on my California King sized bed wedged in between my husband on my left, my eight year old son on the right and our one-hundred-thirty pound rescue dog who was thirty-five […] Read more…
The Power of a Good Old Fashioned Sob-Fest
I have two sons, ages eight and six. In my quest to raise them free of misogynistic tendencies I try to let them cry when they feel the need. The key word is “try” because sometimes I become impatient and tell them to quit crying like babies. I am after all, a mere mortal and occasionally […] Read more…
Are We Done Yet: When To Stop Having Babies?
When my husband and I first decided to try to have babies I remember having this weird and woozy out-of-body moment where I thought to myself, “So this is it? We just decide to have a family and then we get to do it? Shouldn’t I have to get a permit or ask my parents?” Turns out […] Read more…
God, Yes I Am Going There.
The concept of God or a higher power is a funny thing. I tell people I have to go to church every Sunday because I am such a sinner. Which is only partly true. The main reason I go is because I like it. I really and truly like it. I was sent to Catholic school […] Read more…
Top Three Lessons Working Moms Can Learn From The Red Sox
I was born into Red Sox Nation. Growing up in Boston, being a Red Sox fan is simply what you do – like breathing or drinking on St. Patty’s Day. So when the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 after an 86 year drought it seemed…well, unnatural. Great but unnatural. And now this year to have […] Read more…
