The Pill
Almost every woman I know, including myself, does it. We swallow a tiny little pill each day. A tiny little pill that does drastic things to our bodies. Or rather, it has one, huge, drastic effect on our bodies. This magic pill can prevent us from getting pregnant. For years and years and years, if […]

Toddler Bras?!? Do You Buy Her Four Loko and Condoms, Too?
At first I thought I must be confused. I must be imagining things. My head swivels as I take in all of the other merchandise around me. Nope. Definitley the toddler section. Footed pajamas with teddybears, cotton underwear with Snow White, little ankle socks with bows. Yup. Sweet little girl things. So what in the […]
Teen Mom: Cautionary Tales or Role Models?
I can admit it: I totally found myself absorbed in last season’s ‘Teen Mom‘ and have watched several episodes of ‘16 and Pregnant‘. Me, a 29-year-old woman. Yes, a mother myself, but one who is almost 30 and who earned her graduate degree and started her career before becoming one. A mom who can […]
Bully, Oh Bully, Where Art Thou Now?
Probably living some miserable life, where karma is biting you in the butt daily and not even your little cronies could possible still consider you cool. Or maybe you are living in some amazing house, with a beautiful family and still bullying everyone, but getting away with it because you have a circle of friends […]
Can men treat any woman this way or only Ines Sainz?
Or only women who look like Ines Sainz? Only women who dress like her? Or who wear skirts above the knee? Who wear blouses with three buttons undone? How about two? What about women in flip flops? (What if they walked by a man with a foot fetish?!?!) Women who wear the color red? Who […]

36 Hours in Montreal…Family Style
We had our first “Family Vacation” now that we are a family of FOUR. (Coincidentally, this trip coincided with Xavi’s four-month birthday. Awwww.) My husband had Friday off so I did TONS of research and decided on Montreal for our three day weekend getaway. Ooh la la! Our first family trip and we head to […]

If You’re Happy and You Know it…You Probably Don’t Have Children??
I have always been one for peer pressure. As in, I give it, not give in to it. And I have caught myself (Okay, have been reprimanded by friends) committing a very serious form of peer pressure in the past 3 years: baby making. Come on in, guys, the water’s fine! This is just so […]

Me: 182 Hubby: 3
Did I draw in my ‘I must protect her husband from his terrible she-wolf wife!’ male readers? You here? Bueller? Bueller? So the title is actually talking ‘things we have accomplished today for our family’…but those scores are tongue in cheek. Well, let’s be honest, I have actually accomplished at least 182 things for our […]

Rreawr…saucer of milk, table for two!*
*Joke credit goes to M.E.F. As if being a stay at home mom to a 2.5 year old and a newborn is not exhausting enough, the truly draining behavior I experience almost daily here in New York comes from other moms. Let me note clearly that I am not speaking about ALL other moms. I […]
Fired Up!
So, I was going to write a different post tonight, but right now I am so fired up about something else that I kind of have to write about it instead. I just saw a piece on CBS 60 Minutes (online) about The SEED School, (which is largely funded by The SEED Foundation) where I […]
