Mama’s First Bake Sale
Major milestone! (Mine, not hers.) Our first preschool fundraiser, and I was excited to make something for the bake sale. I ruled out actually baking, because I'm on Weight Watchers and I thought the smell of cookies or brownies rising in the oven might kill me. I...
What I Really Do While You’re In Preschool
My darling daughter, Yesterday, when I picked you up from preschool, I mentioned that I’d gotten the car washed and you burst into tears. I didn’t know that toddlers could have FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), but from now on I will try to be more sensitive. I don’t want...
10 Reasons Moms Dress Like Crap
