A while back, I asked a question that generated quite a bit of feedback on Twitter: “If you HAD to choose one or the other, would you rather have a kid with good manners or a kid with good grades?“ Now, your answer might seem pretty black and white at first, but go ahead and [...]
One of the things I absolutely love about Christmas time is that it can make you feel just like a kid all over again. The lights, the sounds and the anticipation of it all make December one very magical month. And no one captures that childlike wonder and excitement quite like the Wonderland Express at [...]
I honestly don’t know what’s gotten into me, but lately I’ve been nostalgic for that time long long ago when my twins were babies. Perhaps it’s because I keep seeing all these cute little bundles around me everywhere I go. Or maybe it’s because my hormones are screaming at me even louder as I quickly [...]
It’s all in the packaging. Now, don’t get all “But women love football, too” on me…I get that! Some of my best girl friends are football fans. And, I have nothing against football. Many of my fondest childhood memories involve going to Bears games with my Dad. (um…go Bears!) I’m just saying, it’s about the [...]

I’ll probably get slammed 52 zillion ways on this and every other mom blog for saying this, but I just don’t get the latest craze to hit the momosphere: Project Mom Casting. If you haven’t heard yet (and you must have been hiding under a rock if you haven’t), Project Mom Casting is calling for [...]
We bloggers are an opinionated bunch. Put a dozen of us in a room, give us any topic from homemade baby food to sexting, and we’ll erupt into a variety of opinions that we can debate for hours. Those powerful opinions are why most of us began blogging in the first place. l never used [...]
That line from high school chemistry has always stayed with me. Nature abhors a vacuum.
