This weekend I fell into a vortex of bad television. Do you have TV show you hate to admit to watching? Mine is embarrassing. Like, really really embarrassing. I have to preface the name of the show with a yes I know this show is terrible and anti-feminist and trashy and portrays Americans at their worst.… Continue reading the pleasure of a terrible guilty binge

what we can learn from #aprilthegiraffe
I tuned into the live feed of April, the expecting giraffe, out of curiosity over a week ago. It really worked as a distraction from writing in here, plus I kept reading "breaking news" about it. I searched through the Facebook and once the stream was set-up, found myself somehow calmed by April's presence. She's just… Continue reading what we can learn from #aprilthegiraffe
bad moms
I'm writing something different today. I've felt a bit of writer's block lately, but, as this is my space for whatever I want, I'm reviewing the movie Bad Moms. I'll preface it by noting I've heard only good reviews from other moms. It's the movie everyone (everymom?) can universally agree on- it's funny and relatable.… Continue reading bad moms
the lost art of conversation
When I close my eyes and remember my childhood, and picture my mom, she's on the phone. My mom spent a great deal of her day gabbing on the phone. Having private conversations with her girlfriends, relatives, gossiping and laughing and pretty much lost in her own world. Thinking about it now, it was the… Continue reading the lost art of conversation
hello, dear
I'd like to think I'm an equal partner with my husband. He's just as much of a feminist as I am, which is an awesome trait to share. But, if a salesman comes a knocking on the door, I resort back to the 1950's housewife I never was, "Oooh I can't make a decision without… Continue reading hello, dear
slow weaning process
When does a habit turn into a bad habit, and a bad habit turn into an addiction? My husband and I had a very colorful debate about this last week on a beautiful family walk, probably making quite a scene of ourselves to all the other foot traffic on the path - although I was… Continue reading slow weaning process
mother goose club
Having kids is an exercise in repetition, and until you are raising one or two or three of them, you may think you know, but you have no idea. Netflix suggested this show, The Mother Goose Club, for my kids this past summer. It's geared towards ages 0-2. I put it on, and my then… Continue reading mother goose club
rory sucks
I interrupt my usual blog roll of bored suburban mom life to discuss something very boring, unless you are a Gilmore Girls fan. Be warned, spoilers ahead. It's pretty obvious the creators of Gilmore Girls have strong opinions about millennials. Rory represents us at our worst: entitled, whiny, directionless, snobby. Seriously, what happened to the head-strong,… Continue reading rory sucks
