Team WhyMommy's Virtual Science Fair

Susan is a friend of mine and fellow DC blogger and DC Metro Mom. She’s the girl who always has a smile on her face and something intelligent to say no matter where we are. I love being around her.  She went in for surgery today.  The cancer is back.  She will fight it and she [...]

Good Bloggy Karma

It’s Friday. I’m a bit burnt out. My lack of gym time this week and the sudden influx of mucus and other icky sickness in my house is making me lazy in body and mind. I’m done writing about blogher. I cannot bear to weigh in on world affairs or the recession. I don’t feel [...]

Blogher 2010, I’m Talking to You!

Blogher 2009 had the theme of “Blogher09 is People”. Every time I heard that phrase all I could think of was a quote from the Muppets Take Manhattan, “is frogs, is pigs, is chickens and stuff… is New York!” Oddly, Blogher 2010 is New York. Now that I am home, sticky with teething biscuit crumbs [...]

Angsty Pregnant Blogger Goes to a Conference

Today I’m off to the beautiful land of New Jersey to seek out the answers to infant and toddler sleep patterns, all that is new in J&J products and if I wasn’t pregnant to drink a little. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to go. Happy to be invited. Thrilled to be carpooling with [...]

Wine, Women and one Incredible Baby Soothing Machine

Three years ago I didn’t even know what a blog was until this woman decided to write an insanely funny book that lead me to her blog. A year ago I never would have believed that I would belong to such a great group of writers who continually inspire and amaze me. There I was [...]

Catfish, Cotton and a Chevy Malibu

Catfish, Cotton and a Chevy Malibu

Scene: The Deep South. Fall colors graced the landscape as I crossed over the Tennessee line into Mississippi this weekend driving three versions of the new Chevy Malibu. Wait! That doesn’t sound right does it? I live in the DC Metro area. Why was I test driving cars in Graceland territory? Because GM decided to [...]
