Here are some of the choice things said to me recently by friends and family (and one stranger): As I was on my way to the gym: “I so admire you, Nancy. I could never leave the house looking like that.” As I was entering a dressing room to try on bathing suits: “Are you [...]

When is Puberty Ed a bit to Ed-ucational?
Posted in Family, Humor, Kids, tagged puberty ed, Sex ed, talking to your kids about sex on May 19, 2010 | 5 Comments »
My son patiently explained that when a baby was growing inside of it’s mother, it got all of it’s nourishment from the Polenta. Perhaps Puberty Education (the new p.c. way of saying sex education) isn’t quite working out. For years, when my kids asked where babies came from, I told them the truth: they didn’t [...]
(Pole Dancing + Trapeze) x major hair-cut = Midlife Crisis

I think I’m having a midlife crisis. Why else would I have cut off my hair, gone Pole Dancing and and taken a trapeze class all in the last month? Yep, that’s me on the trapeze…though not me (I mean , seriously) on the pole. I think it all started with my 7th annual 39th [...]

Yes, it’s true – I’ve been gone a while. Why? Oh — I don’t know. Maybe it’s the VIRULENT stomach flu coursing through my entire family. Even the dog threw up. Seriously. First it was my son. On vacation. In Florida. Perfect weather. Beautiful Gulf of Mexico waters. We stayed inside for almost the entire [...]
At Least my Dog Still Loves Me

The Kids vs. The Dog I remember the olden days when my children would cry and carry on when I left the house to go out. “Don’t go Mommy! Don’t go!” And when they would rejoice at my return, running to the door to smother me with kisses….even if I had only gone downstairs to [...]

Walked In On…

So my daughter “walked in on us” the other day. Funny since (sorry hubby) it’s not like statistically speaking, there are a whole lot of chances for that to happen. (so sue me. kids. work. blog. puppy. life. oh, and swine flu. my uber- excuse for everything. ) It happens to every parent, I’m sure. [...]
Book Giveaway: See Mom Run
Posted in Family, Humor, Husbands, Laughs, Marriage, giveaway, tagged giveaway, hyphenated names, see mom run book, taking your husband's last name on January 25, 2010 | 33 Comments »
Have you ever wondered what would happen if two hyphenated last namers got married? Like, let’s say Harrison VonHarrison-Lundquist married Muffy Worcester-Wolfe. (All names are completely fabricated. If anyone out there has either of those names, I’m sorry…in so many ways.) Would they name their children Maximillian and Genevieve VonHarrisonlundquist-Worcesterwolfe??? Notice the last names I’ve [...]

Those of you with small children, take heart: one day, you too will be able to go on bike rides with your family. One day, you too, will be able to take your children to a restaurant sometime after 5:30pm. One day, you won’t have to supervise playdates, or clean those little sippy cup straws, [...]
If I have to exercise, can I at least do it without having to think about poop?

After months of excuses, real (moving, swine flu, pneumonia) and not (too busy, too tired, too many other things to do) I went back to working out this week. Monday was 45 minutes on the treadmill. A puff of the old inhaler and I was good to go. Tuesday was…oh yeah, didn’t make it to [...]
