Tips, Solutions and Humor for Moms
I hate to fly. I have to be really motivated to get on a plane. Naturally, a girls weekend in Vegas is a powerful motivator. And I am unemployed, so I had to fly the cheapest way possible. That meant connections. Two flights each way instead of one (ei-yi-yi). Here is my scared-of-flying ritual: – Arrive [...]

I used to be put together. Now, I can often be found in a ponytail and what can only be called mompants. My mom uniform is black drawstring pants from Target and a long-sleeved t-shirt.
