Dear Pinterest moms, You guys are awesome. Amazing. Inspiring. The way you pick a theme for your kid’s birthday party and do it to the nines. Wait, no, to the TENS!!! Your cakes that are too pretty to eat, your food tables that make everyone oooh and ahhh, your pretty little sitting areas under trees…
Dear mother I don’t know, I’m writing to talk to you about something that didn’t happen. That’s right. Something that did NOT happen. So this morning I was driving my kids to school and there’s a blind curve on our street and there was a large tree-trimming truck parked on the curve so I had…
I feel like a bad mom. So for the past few days I’ve been waking up at the ass crack of dawn because the stupid birds outside my window keep chirping. Now I know some people love the lovely sound of chirping birds in the morning. People like Cinderella and Mr. Rogers and Pollyanna. But…
Dear Friend, So the other day you were upset about something, and I just sat there listening because I could tell you needed to get stuff off your chest, but we ran out of time before I could respond. So I want to tell you something now. You are SOOOOOOOO NOT alone. You’re like the…

It happened last fall. We were eating family dinner in our new kitchen when Zoey started leaning back in her chair. I swear I’ve told her 9000 times not to do it, but this time guess what happened? SNAPPPP!!!! The leg to the chair cracked right in half and the entire chair crashed to the…
Do you ever mess up with your kid’s schedule? Because I pulled a doozie (doozy??) this weekend. Like you accidentally forget about an activity and you schedule a play date at the same time or you totally forget to bring your kid to a birthday party and don’t realize until afterward? You’re sitting there chilling…
You know when you’re sitting in the roller coaster and it pulls away from the station and you get this feel like awww crap, here we go? Yup, that feeling. I mean I’ve heard older parents say it a million times, “Bigger kids bigger problems,” but you don’t really know WTF they’re talking about until…
