Motrin and BabyWearing

November 17, 2008
By

I jumped on this Motrin bandwagon late, so never saw the commercial before it was taken down. I, too, was never a babywearer. Like every other mom I purchased a Snugli. To me it seemed a necessary article of baby equipment. I never tried it on before I had my daughter. I never thought...

What To Do When a Little Tikes Playhouse Crashes in to Your Kitchen Window

Our swingset was crushed by hail in 2005 (see above). It looked as though a giant stepped on the swingset. So, today it was light, then dark, then windy, then dark again, then light rain, the torrential, soak-to-the-bone rain, then windy, then dark again. A great day to stay indoors. The one time I...

Gray Hair Does Not Equal Grandma

November 4, 2008
By

When my oldest started kindergarten I was a 30-something mom. I had a younger child in preschool. I instantly meshed with most of the other moms. We set up playdates with each other’s kids and socialized outside school. I found a commonality with all the moms except the moms with older kids and a...

Perfect Fall Day

Our neighborhood costume parade: My son is Darth Vader. My middle daughter opted not to wear her costume “Candy Corn Witch” as it was too cold. My oldest opted to stay in her room. We are a sports family. I am chuckling as I write this since I play no sports myself. I “workout”...

Is a Cell Phone Safe in the Hands of a 7th Grader?

I think not. After hosting a small group on Friday, and the prospect of hosting the same group tomorrow, I know that a 7th grader can’t function without a cell phone. Yes, this is an exaggeration. In reality only one of the three girls was attached at the ear to the cell phone. My...

Question: Should 12-Year Olds Watch PG-13 Movies?

My 12-year-old daughter wanted to see The House Bunny. Let me back up a bit… I didn’t know she wanted to see it until she told me a group of friends saw the movie over the weekend. I immediately went in to “why was my child excluded mode?” I know, I know not my...

When Is a Child Too Old to Trick-or-Treat?

October 7, 2008
By

Should a child stop trick-or-treating at 12, 13, 14?? I have definitely heard the deep voice of a teenage boy behind a fright mask. Or the high-pitched voices of a group of girl friends out trick-or-treating. I have wondered why these kids are still out on what is very much a night for preschool...

My Daughter Is The Creative Type

My 12-year-old is one of those creative types who can do anything with construction paper, scissors, and tape. What is her creation above? A drink cup/hat/storage container. of course. As a small child she would make cartoon books out of a pad of post-it notes. I recall finding a pad of postit notes, realizing...
