Having been a stay at home mom and now being a working mom, I finally have the answer to that age-old question of: who has it harder, Working Moms or Stay at Home Moms? (Clever use of capitalization of job titles for you to note.) And the answer is what I suspected when I first became a mother (and one [...]

I cried to the last Office. I cried during the set up show and then I rejoiced when @TheOfficeNBC tweeted me back when I was in agony (such a mix of emotions!) I haven’t been this sad about a show ending since Gilmore Girls. It did what it does perfectly, makes you cry in one scene and almost immediately makes [...]

Yes, Socks and Sandals A conversation at bath time. In this scenario the characters are played by a 5 year old named Ryan,  a 7 year old named Aidan, and a 37 year old named Mom (which is me). OK it’s us. Aidan: Mommy, can I wear socks and sandals? Me : No. Not if you want a girlfriend. Aidan: [...]

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! To my mom, with whom I love to share an afternoon tea wearing big hats. (I love you mom!) And to all of you, with whom I like to share TMI. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!! I hope you have the best one ever! (ps. what did you do? And what did your kiddos do for you today?) Post [...]

One Year Cansuh-free, That’s Me! It’s funny how the memory works. From this day last year, I remember key moments. First of all, I remember my whole family wearing Team Christie shirts to the hospital to support me. And I remember that I got a t-shirt made specially for that day, it said, “I’m blogging this,” and I wore it that [...]

The Story of the Death Star Nipple It began one morning when we were at home and I was feeling pretty carefree. I’m not sure what had gotten into me but I wish it would happen more often. Aidan took out a plain white t-shirt from his room. I don’t remember ever buying this shirt or what it was for. [...]

Fun at Tampa Bay Rays Opening Day! For the first time ever, I went to baseball’s opening day here in Tampa. I’ve been to playoff games and even a World Series game, but never ever opening day not ever! But opening day at the Trop this year was a blast. The crowds were insane in a good way and it [...]

I hate staring at a blank computer screen but I don’t have any idea what to write about what happened yesterday at the Boston Marathon and it doesn’t seem fitting for me to post about anything else today. I was intensely terrified for hours until I knew that my runner friends were ok. Like you, my heart is broken for [...]

And then he was 7.   Where did the time go?  I love that face. I love it so much. I love that after all theses years that he still loves the color orange. I love what he is wearing in that picture because that’s his own style based on himself and only himself, the shark tooth necklace, the bright [...]

This week my workouts flatlined. On a scale of 1 to 10 they were a 0. (No judging). Except for today! When I got in a run along the water here in San Francisco with my bloggy friend Colleen from Classy Mommy (love her!) You could see the Golden Gate bridge just behind me, off in the distance. We had [...]
