The Confessional – It’s Still Christmas At My House
It is still Christmas at my house. Not because presents keep pouring in, no… but because, as of this writing – January 16, 2010… the Christmas decorations are still — UP. *hangs head* I’m just keepin’ it real for y’allz. I am a classic type-a personality with a scattered-creative alter-ego who obssesses over glitter and [...]

Adoption and Goodwill Toward Men
I just feel moved to write about this treasure… as an outsider. I am not an adoptee, nor have I adopted… Oh, but to bring a child into a circle of love and family where there was none… moves me deeply. I hold adoptive families in the highest regard… for the effort and sacrifices they [...]

Careless Words
“What a retard.” “That was retarded.” When you read those statements, what did you feel? I wrote them with no context, but did you feel anything? Did it bother you at all? It bothers me.

The Nail Fairy?
My feet are a WRECK. Over the past 3 years I have stacked running and triathlon events in such a way that my feet have not have the opportunity to return to the intended state they were given to me. You know, 10 intact, cute-ish toes… all with nails. Not model feet, but I considered [...]

Mom Fail – the reprise of a past post for a TwitterMoms Contest
TwitterMoms in partnership with Care.com is having a contest. The charge: What’s the rudest comment from a stranger you have ever gotten about your parenting style? Not. A. Problem.

Oh dear, Jenny’s been thinking again…
Last night I had to take my 6 year old daughter into the local urgent care. It seems my stellar skillz as mother are not at stellar as one might think. A wound on her arm (inflicted by beauty bark 4 days ago) grew to the size of a roma tomato between the hours of [...]
