I was cleaning up the kitchen the other night, and as I cursed my husband under my breath because he'd messed up the stove again, I stopped short, realizing what a jerk I was since he'd actually taken the time to cook. Whereas cooking for me looks a lot like melting cheese on tortillas and [...]
Sometimes I'm stunned by the coincidence and timing of things. Verity wrote this post last year (oh yeah, hey, it's Throwback Thursday), and now she's dealing with yet another "child mouth issue" -- this time it involves braces for her little one who's sucked her thumb for years (maybe if we bug her enough, she'll [...]
Despite all evidence to the contrary, I don't like rushing around like a crazy person. I like being prepared the night before, having enough time to get ready, and then walking out the door in a controlled, leisurely fashion. And even though I try so very hard to do this every single day, it practically [...]
Our resident World's Worst Mom, Ginger, is back with a story that will make you want to stay out of the kitchen (or, depending on your motivations, give you an excuse to). You can check out everything else that makes Ginger's life exciting and flavorful at her blog, Spicey Mom. And don't miss her other [...]
It's Throwback Thursday, where we get a chance to read one of the great "bad mother" stories of old that y'all might have missed because it was written lo, these many moons ago (like, a year). And trust me, you do not want to miss this one. It was originally sent in by a good [...]
Ludicrous Mama is back after her big win at our Anniversary Giveaway last week. Maybe she's feeling guilty about beating everyone else out of such a cool necklace, because she's adding yet another story to her World's Worst Moms collection. You can find more of her antics at her blog, Biting the Hand that Feeds [...]
This is the second visit to World's Worst Moms for Jules. In this episode, she sets up what she calls, "Yet another opportunity for Dad to be a hero." I have two kids (9-year-old boy, 7-year-old girl) and a great husband. And I really enjoy our family. But, if I'm being honest, out of all [...]
Mother's Day is a very loaded holiday for me. Anyone who's lost their mother but has kids of their own knows how strange it is. There are the good wishes being thrown around, the cards and gifts being made at school, and the endless blog posts and tweets asking, "What do you want for Mother's [...]
Most people are familiar with Murphy's Law: "Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong." Exactly how Mr. Murphy came up with this decree, no one knows. But if it turns out he ever talked to a mom like Alison, who blogs over at Mama Wants This!, well, mystery solved. My son is only 15 months so [...]

I'm having one of my typically partly sunny days.On the one hand, it's kind of been like my birthday. The Empress, over at Good Day Regular People, featured me in her "Get To Know Thursdays." I don't want to get all hyperbolical on everybody, but you know how they honor people at awards shows with [...]
Tammy Soong is a writer, wife, and mom from Reno, Nevada. She takes an absurd amount of pain medication, but not enough to have actually named her children "Newt" and "Elfie." She spends most days stressing out over clutter, writing stuff for this place, and working on podcasts with her gal pals, the Blogging Betties.
