I don’t know about you, but my summer calendar seems to fill up, oh, around February. Â Just when I think I can’t stand winter anymore and I need something to look forward to, I slather my summer months with park playdates, trips to the zoo, walks on the waterfront, picnics, and pool dates. Â Sometimes after [...]

Leslie, Laura and I headed out on the town- which this time (for us Northenders) meant heading  just down the road to Lake Forest Park and Third Place Commons to listen to Dooce talk about her new book.  We got there…well, a little early. There are people that actually like the front row.  However, we weren’t early enough, because some of our own resident SMB columnists were a little more punctual and nabbed the prime front row. The rumors you’ve heard are true…she’s…..tall.  Tall in a, “I wish I was that height” kind of way, not the freakishly, stop and stare type.  She looked great and kept us entertained.  She read 2 excerpts from her book (from her iPhone no less) and we cringed for her, we laughed with her, and we got the usual photographs.  Laura has a problem, and we love her because in spite of it.  All in all, it was a fun evening and we got home after the kids were in bed- so it’s a win-win! Did you go and we just... more
I don’t know about you, but my summer calendar seems to fill up, oh, around February. Â Just when I think I can’t stand winter anymore and I need something to look forward to, I slather my summer months with park playdates, trips to the zoo, walks on the waterfront, picnics, and pool dates. Â Sometimes after Summer hits, I feel like it is less of a time of vacation, and more of a frenzy, living up to my Dad’s old adage of, “Let’s hurry up and have fun!”. Â It’s... more
Remember way back when I actually posted? I think I may have mentioned that I signed up to run the Rock N Roll Marathon and the big day was yesterday. It was my best race to date. Unfortunately, given the 4-6 am shuttle run to the start line, I had to get up at 3:45 am to head downtown by 4:20 am. I think I may have even Twittered that stupid start to the morning. Met co-worker (”L”) at our office and gathered our stuff, stripped down to running clothes and took off for the shuttle buses... more
Ever since I was introduced to Pledge Multi-Surface Cleaner at the 5 Minutes for Mom meetup a couple of weeks ago, my cleaning routine has completely changed. Now instead of yelling at my three-year-old for leaving his Otter Pop to leak on my bamboo floor and falling to my knees, crying, “WHY ME?!?!,” I simply pick up a can of Pledge, spray the area and wipe and it’s clean. Not only does it work on floors, but I can also spray the keyboard where my son has smudged his grubby... more

Wiggles Our very own WM is giving away four tickets to the Wiggles concert in Everett this July 17th at the Comcast Arena at her review blog. She writes, “On more than one occasion, I caught myself singing ‘Fruit salad, yummy yummy’ or ‘Where’s Jeff?’ at work. Truthfully, I think I got as much of a kick out of them as kids did. They were songs we could all sing along to. It was good clean, wholesome family fun.” Read more about her fun experience at a recent... more
By now, we (and I think I can speak for many) are sick, sick, sick and tired of hearing the phrase “economic downturn.” In fact, I read in Newsweek (I believe) that the phrase alone had been used something like 2,500 times in print journalism since the new year. Enough to drive a person crazy, right? Right! And like I’ve said to my dad on several occasions, if people only listen to the bad news about the economy in our country, the entire population will be dependent on... more
Father’s Day is one of these quid pro quo holidays that I only celebrate based on the level and intensity that Mother’s Day was celebrated. Only I don’t really remember Mother’s Day. I know I received a card and I think there was a Chinese buffet involved. In fact, I do remember the Chinese buffet because it was crab legs day and the restaurant patrons vultured around the crab station and I did not get any crab legs! Thankfully, there won’t be any buffets in our agenda today. I have... more

Our very own Jenny from Jenny On The Spot made a fabulous video about swine flu masks, which will be ALL the rage on every flight to BlogHer this year. Do you have your twittermask ready? Personally, I’m going glitter. Thank you, Jenny. I don’t know what you’re drinkin’ here… But I want some. Read More →
