As much as I bitch and complain about technology, one thing I love about the internet is its ability to help people. Myself included. I can't tell you how many times I would've been shut up in this house, feeling all alone if it weren't for my laptop. Anyway, I came across someone who needs [...]
How to Teach Kids about Sex: Go See Les Mis and Leave the Kids with Dad
December 29, 2012 – Posted in: Elfie, Mouths of Babes, Movies, Newt, Parenting, Personal Insanity, Sex, Tenzin, Thank God Your Father's Home, TV, Worrying, Worst Mom ReviewsI went and saw Les Miserables with a girlfriend the other night. It was an amazing movie, but for some reason, I still feel like I could just nitpick it to pieces. I'm starting to think this could be my calling -- professional life nitpicker. Too bad I can't get someone to pay me for that... [...]
Personalized Kid’s Book Giveaway: “Find Me If You Can”
December 17, 2012 – Posted in: Children's Books, Shopping Hell, Things To Do with Kids, Worst Mom Giveaways, Worst Mom ReviewsI'm been wanting to show this to you guys, but after the events in Newtown, well, I don't think anyone's life has stayed on schedule. So this is basically a Where's Waldo book that you can personalize. You send in a photo, and then your child gets to find himself/herself among other children's faces on [...]
The Battle to Believe
December 9, 2012 – Posted in: Holidays, Movies, Things To Do with Kids, Websites, Worst Mom ReviewsWe went to see Rise of the Guardians today. The odds were already heavily in favor of me crying because I cry at just about everything. But this had Christmas spirit, childhood dreams, and overcoming personal tragedy all wrapped up into ninety minutes, so I really didn't stand a chance. Later I heard the kids [...]
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 [...]
Taking a Walk with “Change for a Dollar”
November 29, 2012 – Posted in: Bright Side of Life, Sappy Tammy, Videos, Worst Mom Randomness, Worst Mom ReviewsI found this short movie last night. Don't ask me how I found it or where. I was in an Ambien stupor at the time and have no recollection of how it got on my computer. When I woke up and saw it on one of my tabs, I suddenly had a flashback that I'm [...]
Eating Big, Playing Hard, and Shopping Small
November 24, 2012 – Posted in: Elfie, Grosser than Gross, Holidays, Jasper, Logan's Story, Newt, Reno, Shopping Hell, Vacation, Worst Mom Randomness, Worst Mom ReviewsWell, we've survived Thanksgiving weekend (so far). I'm not calling it a complete success until we get everybody out of bed and off to school Monday morning after nine late nights and Wii-filled days. Here are a few highlights from the last few days... •I finally put a crowbar in it and got Elfie some new [...]
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 [...]
StoryCorp — Animated Random Humans Talking. What Could be Better.
August 30, 2012 – Posted in: Food, Movies, TV, Worst Mom ReviewsI love Kickstarter. If you don't already know, it's this website that lets people who have really good ideas (okay, sometimes not such good ideas) put them out in the universe and ask everybody in cyberland to help pay for them. I want to say the fancy word for it is "crowdfunding." Kickstarter is also [...]
The Just About, Pretty Much, Almost Perfect Sunscreen
July 17, 2012 – Posted in: Cancer Sucks, Green Living, Worst Mom ReviewsSo I am -- big shocker -- sort of obsessive about certain things, and one of the more annoying ones happens to be sunscreen. I say annoying because I hate sunscreen. I hate the way it feels, hate washing it off, hate feeling like it never actually does wash off, hate having to sleep in it [...]
