I'm so psyched (I know, I sound like a teenager from 1985, but I am indeed psyched) to be introducing you to Lindy. She's a mom from my neck of the woods, only she's one of the cool kids who gets to live in Tahoe (there I go with the high school thing again). Apparently [...]
Hunting for Christmas Trees in the Wild Blue Yonder
December 7, 2012 – Posted in: Complaining, First World Problems, Holidays, Nevada, Personal Insanity, The Great Outdoors, Things To Do with Kids, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom RandomnessSo we officially got our asses kicked by a tree yesterday. At 2 p.m., my husband, Tenzin, and I sprung the kids out of school so we could head up the mountain to cut down our Christmas tree. Tenzin is working every weekend until Christmas, so we figured this was the best solution. Get up [...]
With Comedy, It’s All About Timing — Especially When You Put a Baby in an Oven
November 8, 2012 – Posted in: Parenting, This Is Supposed to be Fun, This is Supposed to be Helpful, Worst Mom RandomnessSo there's a little bit of hubbub online about some people who staged a photo of their grandbaby in an oven.

Little background -- we usually go to a pumpkin patch in town, but this year, we thought we'd try out a newish place on the outskirts that our daughter went to on a class trip. It's owned by a family who live on their farm, [...]

How to Survive a Pumpkin Patch
October 16, 2012 – Posted in: Holidays, Things To Do with Kids, This Is Supposed to be Fun, This is Supposed to be Helpful, Unsolicited Advice, Worst Mom RandomnessSo this is a little crazy -- I'm going to be on TV. And the best part about it is, I don't even have to leave the house! Which means I could technically stay in my yoga pants if I felt like it, and no one would be the wiser. There's a morning-ish show here [...]
The Things We do for Love — My New Cleaning Gig at the Allergy House
August 29, 2012 – Posted in: Elfie, Jasper, Solicited Advice, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom RandomnessSo Elfie has been sneezing her bloody head off for the last few weeks. I'm a terrible mother so I haven't really been paying a ton of attention to it, except the few times she's been on her way out and I've noticed that she's had snot crusted under her nose. But recently it's gotten [...]

December 31, 2011 – Posted in: Memories, Mouths of Babes, No Good Deed, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom MomentsHey, would you look at that? I'm not dead, just a total slacker. More on that later. But for now, before it's officially the end of the holidays, here's one last taste of Christmas from Ginger (aka Spicey Mom), one of our all-time favorite World's Worst Moms. While these pictures probably won't end up on [...]

November 3, 2011 – Posted in: Accidents, Dogs, This Is Supposed to be Fun, Worst Mom MomentsIt's Throwback Thursday -- when we post stories you may have missed -- and it just so happens that this was one of mine!
