Love it or hate it, Facebook is firmly rooted in society. It’s how we get news, stay connected, or kill time. Whether you think it is a “good” or “bad” influence in our lives, it is a tool, and like any tool, its value depends on the user. I love Facebook, but I have always […]
A Math Problem
This is the kind of math problem I wish they were teaching as a part of the new Common Core program. It has a more practical application for the future.
10 People You’ll Meet at the Store
I spend the better part of my life as a stay-at-home Mom in stores. I am the buyer and bringer of things: food, clothing, personal care, activity-accessories, etc. Basically, buying shit is my “job.” A bad day at work is when I have to go to five different stores (boo!) A great day is when […]
Hanukah Decorations (That Don’t Suck)
It’s the time of year again where Hanukah gets to be The DUFF to Christmas’ svelte game. As a hybrid family of Jew-ish people, my children have seen first hand how lame Hanukah can be in comparison to rolling out the red carpet for Santa and his entourage. At least this is one of the years […]
Why Everyone Needs Estate Planning
My husband died today. And then I did. And then one of my children…then my sister and brother-in-law… “Sorry I keep killing off your family,” my lawyer said. No, this was not the worst day ever. It was a hypothetical conversation that was long overdue. On that day, my husband and I finally sat down […]
My Spouse is Snoring, so I Want to Separate
“Good night, Mom.” “‘Night!” I wave my hand from the couch as I bask in the glow of the Netflix phase of parenthood. Having tweeners has its downs, but one of the serious ups is that they can put themselves to bed and sleep through the night. Boo Ya!… So when I hit 40, I […]
The People You Meet in the Store
I’m over at Scary Mommy talking about “The 10 People You Meet in the Store” when you are out and about. The Mom with too many children, the over-sharer, the crazy coupon clipper, the guy shopping for his wife who refuses to ask where things are…You know who they are, and you’ve probably been some of […]
Early Death and Why Everyone Needs Estate Planning
I’m back on The Mid, and this time, I’m talking about something that everyone needs to hear. Well, at least 50% of you, according to Math. So if you have all of your estate planning done, forward this to half of the people you know. Otherwise (snaps!) pay attention! After this got posted, the comments […]
My Spouse is Snoring, So I Want To Separate
I am totally stoked to be featured on The Mid this week, and I had two articles up there in one day! (Don’t worry, I’ll post them separately so you can take your time.) Do you know The Mid? It’s like Scary Mommy‘s cool older sister – an online magazine for those of us in the “messy […]
F*** You, Facebook!
It’s been an interesting week, people. I have had just about all I can take from Facebook and their shitty double standards. In the past week, I saw three different photos. Two of them filled me with joy, and one filled me with disgust and rage. Guess which of these photos […]
