Mediocre Mom Manual: 40th Birthday Surprises Hello everyone! I’m back. Not that you noticed I was gone or anything, but in the event you asked yourself, “Hey, where’s that lady that used to write about sniffing panties and female crotch maintenance?

For Father’s Day, my family went camping with four other families who live on our street. This was a pretty momentous event: while they have camped together before, this was the first time that we joined them.

Okay people. It’s time to come clean. No use pretending you’re above reading the controversial Fifty Shades trilogy. You know you’ve got those books on your Kindle.

Is hypotrichosis keeping you up at night? Do you have nightmares that you go to put on your mascara and your eyelashes simply aren’t there anymore? Do you secretly dream of looking like Tammy Faye Baker in her heyday, even if you think she was a bit off her rocker? Me neither. That’s why I [...]

I admit it. I’m a sucker for Valentine’s Day paraphernalia. I love pink, purple, and white hearts adorning everything from coffee mugs to paper napkins; picture frames with gooey clichés; heart shaped sugar cookies dripping with icing; tchotchkes that serve no form or function except to collect dust and look cute.

Last night my youngest daughter was awake intermittently from 11:30 p.m. on screaming and crying because her ear hurt.
