Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
Picked Molly (8) up from her after school program and we headed home. It was cold and raining – the kind of weather that makes you want to sleep. And eat. To get dinner going, I put some raw chicken in water and turned it on to boil. The kids and I went upstairs to [...]
The following is a guest post from my dear friend, Angie, who has just gone through the process of potty training and had some advice to share. Over the last two weeks, we have been potty training our 2.5-year-old boy. We’ve had quite a bit of success, so I thought I might share some of [...]
Sometimes, the quest for happy homemaking leads to angst and possible electrocution. If you are me. Once upon a time (or, a few days before Thanksgiving) my kids were oohing and ahhing as the lady across the street put up scads of colorful outdoor Christmas lights. Inspired, I decided I would hustle on up to [...]
Well, we knew we had a mouse. Last week, he brazenly charged at my husband who was watching TV in the corner chair making him scream (in a very manly way) and ruining his focus for the remainder of the Presidential debate. “Icky” (as we called him) had mouse balls of steel. Or he was [...]
Let’s revisit some funny stories over the next few days shall we? We have a lot of new people in TheMommyhood (welcome!) so this is a great time to catch up on a few classics if you are new and relive an old chuckle or two if you are not. Let’s start with…poo. Surely Hard [...]
“The grass is always greener over the septic tank.” ~ Erma Bombeck Well if the grass is greener at my neighbor’s house…it’s because my must-have-been-raised-in-a-barn son went in their yard. And it didn’t stop there… My kids love to play with the neighbor kids who live in the house behind ours. The family has three [...]

Why does this pumpkin cake look this way? Because we made the mistake of putting the cake too low in the refrigerator. Charlie (3) got into it when my husband was in the restroom. (It’s like he was just waiting for his moment–his Great Pumpkin–just like Charlie Brown). When my spouse discoverd what he was [...]
My husband and I awoke to the screeching of our alarm at 2:51 am this morning. I knew instinctively nothing was wrong, but we had no idea why the piercing alarm was going off. In our stupor we did our best to problem-solve with the deafening noise clouding our ability to think. I called the [...]
After I took the kids to see Toy Story 3 yesterday, we had lunch and I got them settled. I spent about 20 minutes checking e-mail. During that time, my son (3) pooped in his pants. Gross. Took him to the bathroom to deal with his business. I put his man-sized turd in the toilet [...]
