    This contraption, credit: my inventive husband.

    The contraption is two milk jugs set up outside pocket doors, straws taped to the inside of the doors and beer cans sitting on top - so that when the doors open they knock the cans off and make a loud noise - you dig?

    I recently read an article that talked about a book called "The Danish Way" in which it describes how the Danes approach the toddler years differently.  Apparently, the Danes don't use the phrase "the terrible twos".  Instead, they call it The Boundary Stage.  While I...

    Recently, my hubby and I decided to do something super fun (and a bit crazy). We love to travel, with and without kids, and so we decided to take the month of November, rent a house in Southern California, and hang out with our two boys, almost 2 and almost 4.

    Ugh, today is one of those days where I feel as unworthy as a mom could. It actually took a while to come to that place…anger, frustration and perspiration came first. This morning was like the twelve steps for me. First step ­ ‘come on buddy, let’s change our diaper a...

    What I learned is that it’s not something you should do….at any point, no matter what weird  masochistic inclination might be nagging at you to check your shit out, I beg of you…don’t do  it. It will haunt your dreams.

    There are a few universal truths in life…payin...

    Bad Mom Sara

    The hubby asked me last week: “what do you want for Christmas?” knowing that I would have no idea what to answer. I’m known by my close friends as notoriously against “stuff” (need to de-clutter your home? Call me, I’m your gal), and I always buy for my family, rarely...

    Last week over the Christmas holidays, my mother-in-law came up to stay with us and help out by watching all four of our kids because school and daycare were still out and hubby and I were back to work.  I know many of you reading this will be imagining how terrible it...
