Every few months this conversation gets going on Twitter and EVERYONE has something to say about it. You know the one. Goes something like this. A MOM-preneur and a MOMMY  blogger walk into a bar…..

Summer – How are you coping?

So, July is almost over. How are you coping with the kids? Here is my answer to that…. I am going a little crazy and I think the kids are too. During the year I have my own routine, just like the kids, and to be honest I am having a hard time reworking that [...]

A Case For Facebook

I am a natural born rule follower.  I follow directions, I follow instructions, I obey signs, I obey laws. It’s just who I am and the way I work.  If I think about breaking the rules, I also break out in a sweat. My tween daughter has begged me for a Facebook account for EVER. [...]

To The Mom of Many

Dear Mom of many, I have two kids.  Two very excitable boys who run like wild banchees throughout any event that we attempt.  The tantrums are loud, the stares are glaring and the judgement cuts deep. How do you do it? Seriously?  Is there some secret e-book that comes to your email with the birth [...]

Your Child and Privacy on the Internet

Do you post pictures of your child on the internet? What about hilarious but potentially embarrassing stories? Last week I stumbled upon this post from Julie Matlin about her 3 year old daughter and privacy. Not too long afterward I found Mom101′s post about her 5 year old and a story that she specifically asked [...]
