Germs are everywhere. Like death and taxes, they are unavoidable. Getting sick is inevitable and as a parent, I try to avoid it as much as possible. I also try to keep our sick germs within the confines of our home when we do get ill, as a common courtesy. So why do some parents think […]
Warning: I’m about to rant and be mean. All those of you who live in a bubblegum flavored, happy go lucky world, please avert your eyes. I don’t feel like reading comments about how bad a mother I am or how unlucky my husband is. If I do see any such comments, I will hunt […]
I cannot find the words to express how utterly sickened I was at hearing the story of Victoria Lindsay. I could not even watch more than a few seconds of the video footage of the beating delivered by six fellow cheerleaders. It was brutality at its worst. My husband and I immediately told our kids that […]
What is this crap I’m hearing about hiding vegetables in brownies? Is this the newest trend in parenting? Teaching your kids to be upfront and honest, then trying to trick them into eating spinach by baking it into brownies is just weird. What ever happened to “Eat it or go to bed hungry?” In our house, […]
It’s kind of hard to hide the fact that your kids are flaming brats — It’s especially difficult if you’ve been labeled the most beautiful couple in the world and spawned the most beautiful baby on the planet. Perhaps it’s most difficult if your name is Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie.
The truth was bound to […]
Call me crazy, but if my baby was born with two faces, like little Lali of Saini Sunpura, India, I’d be a little freaked out. People in India, however, are recieving this new little bundle of joy, in a very unusual manner. Lali is to be hailed the reincarnated goddess, Durga. Her family will go […]
On the way to my son’s class field trip today, I sat next to a little girl who was bubbly, adorable and quite the little bossy pants. She reminded me so much of myself as a child. We got to chatting and she openly shared some of her life story. Her daddy is currently in jail […]
Sometimes my kids push me too far. They mistake my amicable mood as a sign of weakness and try to take advantage of it. That’s when I have to pull the reigns back and deliver a little reminder of who is boss. For example, over the last week or so, the kids have been coming in from school and […]
Every family has one and every community has their fair share of them - you know the kind and perhaps you’re one yourself - The Annoying Bragger.
While growing up, I remember a couple of aunts, one on each side of my family, who literally spoiled family holidays with their endless bragging. In fact, it […]
I am in the process of birthing a new name for my personal blog, but am having writer’s block. In my difficulty, I’ve decided to hold a blog naming contest. Everyone is welcome to submit as many ideas as they’d like. I strongly suggest taking a look at the contents before submitting your ideas. I’m […]
