This week marks the 15th anniversary of our adoption trip. 15 years ago I was packing for a trip to Russia to go and get my little girl. I had no idea the twists and turns that voyage would take, and how we would be stranded for a month, while we waited for additional paperwork…
5 Annoying Friends Your Kids Love
I have four super social kids. For the most part I like their friends. They are good kids, from nice families. But every so often one of the following characters pops up. Usually as my kids new BEST FRIEND. The one that they want to have a double sleepover with and rush right out with…
Enough About Your Ass Already
You know what is amazing about this photo of my great aunt and her friends? Everything. But especially their confidence. I don’t get the feeling that any of these girls, who lived in a far more modest and less “enlightened” time, were all that hung up about their thighs. They look happy. Possibly because…
WhatEVER. TGIFriday Cats

Funny announcement on the Disneyland Teacup Ride
Is it just me or did she just say “Please Make Sure Everyone in your Party is Spitting Up”
The Perfect Age for Disney
I’ve just returned from Disneyworld. It was a lovely, idyllic trip. We brought our two sons, and we left the tween/teen girls behind. People gave us a look when we first announced this plan. One of those “Are you really sure you know what you are doing with this whole parenting thing?” looks. How could…
Lost and Found Blues
At the end of every term I have to face it. But at the end of the year it hurts more. The pile is shocking. A testament to consumerism, our disposable culture, spoiled brats. What I’m also thinking: “Thank G-d it’s not just my kids!” Seriously. It may take a village because the villagers are…
This Summer: Pass the Play with GoGo squeeZ
There are three weeks of school left and then we are free! Free to pursue all sorts of summer fun and activities. I’ve started a list of some of the activities I’d like to do with my kids when school is out. Possibly the instant school is out! 1. Make our own bubble solution and…
New Feature: TGIFriday Cats Caption Par-tay
If you follow me on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram you’ve probably already seen my cat “Hello Kitty”. She’s sorta famous. She’s on a Bop Skizzum album cover! It totally went to her head too. She likes attention, lots of attention. She keeps demanding her own blog, bacon and tiaras. But instead I’m offering her a…
You Can’t Call your Teenager in “Snooki”
I thought I’d heard it all when it came to reasons for missing school. Injuries, illness, bad hair days, break-ups, boyfriends. Really, really, bad PMS. But this was a new one. I was attending a conference when my cell phone started to jiggle and buzz urgently and repeatedly. Note: This is the sort of thing…
