I’ll admit it - we’re drowning in baby expenses - food, diapers, wipes, swimming lessons and daycare. Add to that New York City rent, working at a nonprofit and well, you can do the math. It’s tight. So last week when I went to buy diapers - again - I got cheap. [...]
Lately, I seem to be writing about the library a lot. What can I say? I spend a lot of time there.
One of my main reasons for going there is to get free books. Isn’t that one of the reasons most people go to the library? I can choose any book my [...]
Some may remember that my grandmother just celebrated her 95th birthday, unfortunately, she passed away this week and I will be attending her funeral tomorrow morning. I am still a little in shock and can’t believe she had really passed. I had begun to believe that she would live forever and I could [...]
This is less of a Walk of Shame and more of a confession. I have been selected to write for the New Jersey Mom Blogs. This will continue to be my main blog but I will be posting over there at least 2x a month. At each place, I will be posting original content so [...]

Do you see the black kid’s tray on this stroller? The easiest way to get Becca into the stroller is to swing the tray open, place Becca in the seat, buckle her in and then swing the tray closed and listen for the click. Since Becca has been walking, I have done this [...]
Every Friday night my husband and I have date night. This consists of eating lots of junk food and watching Battlestar Galactica after John Patrick goes to bed. (Yes, I admit, we are sci-fi nerds.) Anyway, my job is to go to Duane Reade on the way to picking up John [...]
My baby has a fever of 102.7 and I am sitting her typing away instead of comforting her. Omar is sitting with her so it isn’t as if she is alone but still…
shouldn’t I be rubbing her head or something?
I also called the doctor, got Becca some apple juice and gave her a dose [...]
I was just getting ready to publish a post where I declared this a “Shame Free Week” but before hitting the publish button, I decided to wrack my brain one last time to see if I could uncover any more shameful mom secrets.
