I have a big secret.
One that makes me a super/great/cool grandma, but a horrible/scoundrel mother.
This morning I picked up my grandson from pre-school. (No, this is not the horrible thing.)
I guess I should give a bit of background information. Audrey asked if I could possibly pick up William from pre-school.
I said, [...]

Well, in this case, a 2004 Subaru Forester.
I must admit that as I write, my heart is as heavy as the hard chromium on a catalytic converter.
I had to take my mom’s car from her. I had to take her last symbol of eighty-three years of independence. I had to take the most [...]

I always knew that I had a special relationship with my mom.
But it took me awhile longer to realize that not every daughter had a mother like mine.
I guess, when I was younger, I thought that all mothers were just like mine.
I thought that all mothers woke their daughters each morning with a loving kiss [...]

I think it was Oscar Hammerstein who wrote, “There Is Nothing Like a Dame.”
Go ahead, sing along.
Or better yet, tell it to the DIY Network. ‘Cuz it recently held the America’s Most Desperate Landscape Contest, where people from all over the country entered photos and videos for the chance at a total landscape makeover [...]

We visited Philadelphia 3 weeks ago to see the Star Wars exhibit that was being run at the Franklin Institute. Afterwards we brought the kids to see the Liberty Bell and to a couple of other spots that we thought they may get a kick out of…

I have no problems with kids in restaurants. In fact, I often took my kids to restaurants when they were kids. I am aware that it is certainly a learning experience for both parents and kids, and therefore (unless the kids are CRAZY wild) I have no problem with a little kid-noise in [...]

For today’s mama-find post I was fortunate enough to review the book Mothers Need Time-outs, Too by Susan Callahan, Anne Nolen and Katrin Schumann.

I know, I know. It’s been over a month since my last “Getting off Zoloft” post and I have started to hear from people, wondering how things have been progressing since then.

Read Audrey’s post.
Feel her pain!
This is Part 2 of the Target story…
While Audrey was wrangling her car and shopping cart and kids around Target (and parking lot on the hill!) I was at a couple of meetings with Jane.
