This week, Mashable published an infographic called The Rise of the Mommy Blogger. And it was offensive on OH so many levels. And wrong. Just plain wrong. Commissioned by H&R Block for reasons I can’t really fathom (maybe they think we’re all making the big bucks blogging and they wanted to let us know they [...]

Before I had kids, I used to see other parents and think: “When I’m a parent I’ll never (fill in the blank.)” And then I became a parent. It was humbling just how many of those “fill in the blanks” I did. Lollipops in the morning (airplane rides.) TV as babysitter. (I had Swine Flu). [...]

I love Brazil. On my vacation there years ago, I saw beautiful countryside, sophisticated cities, and rockin’ nightlife. I love Brazilians. They are warm and loving. They are awesome plastic surgeons, and they are singlehandedly reviving the NY Real Estate market. Some of my best friends are Brazilian. No, really. Bruno and Elizabeth. I love [...]

Remember a few years back when Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction gave the youth of America a glimpse of her breast? People went bananas. “Our kids saw that!” They cried. And the courts fined CBS for broadcasting the flash of flesh. But right now, there are any number of video games that encourage players to beat [...]
My Kids are Learning Curse Words in School. From their Teachers.
Posted in education, Kids, Parenting, Rants, tagged curse words, foul language and kids, Purberty Ed, Sex ed on February 4, 2011 | 7 Comments »
My daughter came home from school the other day with a very important question: “Why would anyone call a vagina a p***y?” “Where did you hear that word?” I wanted to know. “Puberty Ed.” The fifth graders at my kids’ uber-expensive private school have started what used to be called Sex Ed, but is now [...]
Cold: A Freezing Slice of NYC Life
Posted in Family, Rants, tagged Bus Stops, New York Weather, Rude adults on February 3, 2011 | 3 Comments »
It has been so cold in New York this week that the bagel I bought for the kids from our usual guy on the corner was filled with frozen cream cheese. Luckily, the kids still have some baby teeth. Cause they totally could have lost one. This morning, with all that miserable ice and the [...]
Motherhood Doesn’t End With Babyhood

Not Me. Not my kid. But look! She’s a mom! Here’s something I’ve noticed at Mom Blogger events: to most PR companies, “Mom” means “mother of a baby.” At most Mom-Blog events, all of the products are geared towards babies. It was such a relief at Blissdom this past weekend, to see Unilever there with [...]
