Do not buy this. If you buy this you will eat the whole bag during the ride home from the grocery store. Even if you tell yourself you are just testing one bite to see if it’s any good. By the time you spend 15 minutes shoveling it by the handful into your mouth, it […]
Picky Eater
The prompt I found for today was “is your least favorite food from childhood still your least favorite?” That’s a good question and maybe conducive to quickly typing on my phone while riding on a train (and not wearing my reading glasses – so I can in no way guarantee I am using the right […]
Bad Choices
So I am now the mother of two teenagers. I know, I know, I look way too young. Oh…you weren’t going to say that? This is awkward… Anyway – two teenagers. And to be more specific, two teenagers who are not even the tiniest bit afraid of me. I try to be scary and tough. […]

Don’t Hide the Real Cake
I always swore that was a piece of parenting advice that needed to be passed down somehow. This is both one of those things-I-never-thought-I’d-need-to-say and one of those how-the-heck-didn’t-they-know things. Clearly you’ll need the full story to know why I am bestowing this particular tidbit of wisdom upon you. Journey with me back about 8 […]
