Bottles to Potties: Laughable Advice Parents Should Not Take

Being a new mother is hard. It is a time that can leave you feeling confused, irritated, annoyed, frustrated, tired, and wonderful all at the same time. These feelings are often exacerbated by people giving you "helpful" advice that you most likely did not ask for. No matter where you are, whether it be at the grocery store, the doctor's office, or strolling your baby down the highway (although I might stop and give you advice here because you are obviously in need of some guidance…

School Rules for Next School Year to Prevent a Mommy Meltdown

This school year is coming to an end and we are limping across the finish line (in some cases, literally). Only two of my kids are in school, I can only imagine what it is going to be like when all three of them are. Which, as my six-year-old pointed out, will only be one more school year because then the one-year-old will be in a morning program for three days a week and begin taking dance classes. Oh, and as a bonus, my eight-year-old threw in the statement, "and you will be older then…

What Age is Appropriate to Leave Your Child Home Alone?

I am the type of parent who is truly paranoid and over protective. When I drop my kids off at school in the mornings, I have to watch to make sure they make it into the building. If I don't, I might have a neurotic episode where I have to call the school with some excuse so that they will have to buzz the intercom in my child's classroom to ask her a question (such as did she have her glasses) to make sure she is there and that no one kidnapped her in front of the school. Not that I have…

What It Means to Be Called "Mommy"

I have not slept through the entire night or visited the restroom alone since 2003. Showers do not go uninterrupted because there is always someone standing at the shower door with some sort of "emergency." I have long since given up on having a clean van. The windows at my house are constantly covered in fingerprints no matter how many times a day I clean them. The floor of my house has been turned into a battlefield when walked across barefoot because there is always a Lego or Barbie…

Carpool Road Rage

We have all had those mornings. Those morning when nothing seems to be going right when trying to get out the door to take the kids to school. In my defense though, I do not usually take the kids to school, my husband does. But he too was running late so I had to do it. So by 7:30 this morning, it had already been one of those mornings.

Not only could my third grader not find her glasses, we could not find the car…

Top 5 Reasons I Will Not Receive the "Mother of the Year" Award

I have kids, three actually, which makes me a mother. Lately in our culture it seems that there has been an unwritten "parenting policy handbook" in which mothers (parents in general) should adhere to. If that committee that is in anyway looking at me, I must be their muse for the "what not to do" section of their policy book. There are many reasons that I will not receive the "Mother of the Year" award, but here are the top 5: …
