Ode to My Baby Boy

January 24, 2012

If you’ve never read my About Fadra page, it might be worth a look. I don’t hide the fact that I’m a mom but you won’t find me pushing cute pictures of my kid on my blog all that often. I have plenty of other channels in which to do that. But there is a [...]

The Hardest Lessons Learned Often Involve Wet Shoes

January 9, 2012

I’m almost five years into this mothering gig and I still haven’t figured out the kind of mom I am. I’m way too permissive and then way too demanding. I expect a lot and then fail to follow through with consequences. Super Nanny can’t help me because I’ve watched the show enough to know what [...]

January 2, 2012

A few weeks ago, my dad and his wife offered to take our family to see ICE! at the Gaylord National Hotel. I honestly had no idea what it was but I said, “Sure! An ice show sounds great!” I tweeted about it and thankfully found several people who had been the previous year or [...]

A Story of Christmas Magic

December 23, 2011

My mother tells me that when I was a child, I believed in Santa Claus. I believed with all of my heart. Even when the kids on the bus told me that their parents admitted it was them, I refused to believe it. My mother also tells me that when I found out the truth [...]

Just Dance 3 created Just Chaos in my house

December 12, 2011

I’ve made no secret of my love for Just Dance 2. It’s a game for the Wii that makes you feel like you can really dance. The sad truth is that if you videotape yourself doing these dances, you will find that you actually cannot dance. Or maybe that’s just me. What I love about [...]

Raising Good Little People

December 7, 2011

In case I didn’t mention it all the way back in August when I came home from BlogHer 11, I met with plenty of amazing companies and brands. Some I’ve had the pleasure of working with and some I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying their products and sometimes writing about them. But the absolute standout [...]

An Unusual (But BPA-Free) Holiday Suggestion

November 29, 2011

I’m a longtime Tupperware fan. I’ve been using it since before microwaves were invented. (Okay, not actually true. Microwave ovens were first sold in 1947). I’ll say that my family was a relative latecomer to the microwave era. Now I don’t know how we ever lived without it. But with the miraculous dose of non-ionizing [...]

I’m Going to Wash Those Germs Right Out of My House

November 10, 2011

It’s pretty much inevitable, right? This time of year, everyone seems to have the sniffles. They’re coughing and sneezing and generally not being very clean. At least that’s how it seems. Once I had a child, I became a complete germophobe for three reasons: 1. Caring for a sick baby sucks. 2. Being sick yourself [...]

No one knows messy like I know messy

November 5, 2011

Most people think I’m a lovely housekeeper. These are my friends in “real” life and my family. They are the ones that visit for the holidays or stopover for a little get together. According to them, “my house always looks spotless.” I have a secret to confess. It’s because I clean my arse off before [...]
