I have taken my babies to movies -- with DS1 I was dying to see "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" so we went to a mid-week, morning show. I actually brought my boppy along in a big tote bag (still figuring out the...

If you have time to clip then you may have time to do the legwork yourself as well. I started doing it myself because our preferred store wasn't on the GG at that time. I got used to reading the store circular on Thursday evening...

My best thrift store score that I can think of wasn't too recent, but I still recall how gleeful I was to find it. A thick, soft wool J. Crew sweater in an awesome pumpkin orange. I wore the heck out of it, and when it got holey I...

OMG, no! As a child of divorced parents, I can't tell you how relieved I was when they finally officially split up and divorced. Things had not been great since I was very little, and when I was probably 8-9 years old they...

I had the same experience with Avalon. Go in as an exam, not just a consult, they can bill insurance then. I also have to give props to Marla Scott in Denville, she was my first midwife after my DS1 was born, and I was so sad to leave...

I also have to watch myself saying "Oh God" and "Oh jeeze". My 25m old will say "Doooooood!" and "That's so COOL! I'm so a-SITED!" The funniest one is how if you negotiate something with him,...

Almost none - though he does get yogurt and cheese as he likes. We'll have a "milk box" occasionally if we're out, like at Starbucks or something, but most often he has water or sometimes almond milk (vanilla, unsweetened) as...
