"Stai attenta!" (Be careful!) More than any other word or phrase, I heard this throughout my childhood -- literally, from my nonna, who has always spoken to me exclusively in Italian, and proverbially, from my mom, who most would call extraordinarily...

Sleepless nights, a grumpy boy, severely runny nose, and yes, a ton of drool; NO it was not the fear of a ghost or being awoken during the night, it was 2 year old molars rearing their ugly heads during the wee hours of the morning, 1 a.m. to be exact...

It's that time of the year. Not the decking of halls and spiking egg nog and turkey hangover time, though that certainly is upon us. No, now is the time for that wonderful holiday tradition of bartering with Maddie's Mom for time with my daughter...

I must tell you, I was muttering "Calgon take me away!" as the day for my vacation from my family arrived. It was about two hours before my departure time to Austin, TX with two of my dearest mom friends, and I was NOT relaxed! No, I was shopping...

The miracle of even a moderate makeover cannot be understated, dear mothers-in-arms. I have felt like a virtual cavewoman since I gave birth. Not only do I, well, feel like I live in a cave because I rarely see the light of day due to the fact that, a...

One of the more difficult aspects of parenting, I've found, is helping Maddie appreciate all her blessings. The girl wants for nothing. Every Christmas is a lottery jackpot; you'd think Santa tired as he reached her tree and decided to just leave...

It was my turn to bring a snack for the kids at my moms group. I was getting a little tired bringing gummy fruit snacks, cupcakes and cookies. I know, they are not the healthiest snack but at least all of the kids like them and the moms get a few minutes...

Halloween reeked havoc on the mind of our little boy. Boo is a firm believer that a ghost, monster and the occasional dinosaur enter our home at night and cause the creaks and squeaks that can be heard once the lights go out. AJ’s no help because he continues...

Wow. I really am a bit of a negligent mummy after all. I brought Jonas to the doctor on Friday to examine his goopy parts and it turns out he has a blocked tearduct in his eye (hence the thrice-hourly wipings) and a granuloma on his belly button. I’m...

I am amazed at how quickly we adjusted to Joe being home full time. It has been so nice over the past 2 weeks. We have spent more time together as a family than we have in a long time. Even though we are not doing anything together that is different than...

As the father of a child who doesn't live with me, one of my favorite parts of the day is catching Maddie on the phone and talking about her day. It isn't always fun — sometimes she doesn't feel like chatting, and there are days when getting...

The idea of a family vacation is such an oxymoron. Not that I don't love Disneyland, the locale of our last vacation, but I'd call it more of a family trip, or even an adventure, but not a family vacation. This weekend I am about to get a vacation...

Preface: I am seriously annoyed with myself and how mommy-bloggy this blog has become, but, it's like I have no control over the fact that I am, indeed, a mom, and I have mom-ish things to say. And now, a question, definitely related to motherhood...
