So as you may have noticed, I haven't been writing much lately. This isn't due to lack of trying. It's mainly due to being hella busy. Add that to my somewhat baseline status of feeling hella crappy, and, well, end of story. As most of you know, I started the Blogging Betties Podcast with my [...]
The Great Yoplait vs Chobani Taste-Off
January 23, 2014 – Posted in: Dogs, Elfie, Food, Jasper, Kid Friends, Newt, Things To Do with KidsI like yogurt. A lot. Put it this way: 'twere it not for yogurt, I might be dead from malnutrition. One of my faves? Chobani. Last year, we were eating so much Chobani and then letting Jasper (the dog) lick the containers that whenever someone said, "Chobani," Jasper would come running. We even use it [...]
You Need to Make These Cookies
December 3, 2013 – Posted in: Food, Holidays, Things To Do with KidsSo last year, I posted the recipe for my grandma's kolackys -- the best cookies in the world. I kid you not. These things are like potato chips -- you'll eat one, think it's no big deal, and next thing you know, the entire tray is gone. Anyway, I'm linking back to the post so you [...]
Gandhi-Mom Doesn’t Live Here Every Day
July 1, 2013 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Food, Growing Up, Newt, Parenting, Personal Insanity, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom RandomnessSome days, I'm a good mom. I'm excellent, actually. Even though I feel like I'm walking through mud and the last thing I want to do is have a "teachable moment" with the children, I somehow rally and become this Gandhi-esque creature who I barely recognize. It's freaky, really. Like standing outside yourself and expecting [...]
Tea for Four
June 3, 2013 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Food, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom ReviewsWe did something so girly the other day -- we had a tea party. Even my son, Newt, who has very few issues with crossing traditional gender lines (he told me the other day that he thought dressing in drag like Bugs Bunny would be awesome) was having none of it. To be fair, it [...]

I hold in my hands the recipe for the world's best cookies. Seriously. Not joking. Those who know me are well aware that I can't cook. I regularly burn soup when I [...]
Worst Moms Christmas Gifts — Going Bananas
December 4, 2012 – Posted in: Food, Holidays, Okay That's Funny, Shopping Hell, Uncategorized, Worst Mom ReviewsOne of the great and horrible realities of Christmas in the 21st century is that there's really no excuse for not being able to find the perfect gift. Because if it's not online, it probably means you're a genius and just came up with the next great thing in greatness. Either that or you're like [...]

Lots and lots of big plans. Put up the Halloween decorations. Carve pumpkins. Blog. Get ready for our neighbor's party. Instead, Tenzin and I [...]
Why Can’t Natural Food Taste. . . Good?
September 12, 2012 – Posted in: Food, Green Living, This is Supposed to be Helpful, Worst Mom ReviewsSo I'm a cereal fiend. Connoisseur. Addict. I practically live on the stuff. A lot of the medication I take kinda sorta makes me not want to eat, so without cereal, I would probably waste away into one of those scary people you see on the anorexia sites. Or these folks: Anyway, I've been trying [...]
