7 Things Mom Bloggers Should Stop Doing in 2012

2 Comments | Posted December 22, 2011 | 9:28 AM

2012 is just around the river bend and for most of us, that means putting the finishing touches on the fallout shelter and making lists of resolutions we have no intention of keeping.

As a member of both the mom blog community and PR freak show, I'd like to...

Open Letter to 'Occupiers' from Rational America

25 Comments | Posted October 25, 2011 | 9:53 AM

Dearest Occupiers,

Thank you for taking a break from tie-dying and your drum circles to read this letter. I know your organic agave-sweetened ginger tea (LOL) may be getting cold, so I'll keep this short.

You're crazy and weird and we don't like you. Plus you look like you smell.

Worst Ad Campaign of the Summer Award... Step Up, Summer's Eve

104 Comments | Posted July 21, 2011 | 5:19 PM

Summer's Eve has a message for you: your vagina is dirty. It's not surprising that a company based on that premise would launch an advertising campaign that is as equally horrendous as the flawed medical information its entire product line is based on. On that note, the Worst Advertising Campaign...

How to Convince Your Mate to See the New Harry Potter

6 Comments | Posted July 17, 2011 | 3:51 PM

Whether you're a semi-geek or all out Potter-head, chances are, due to the whole "opposites attract" law, your partner is not as excited as you are to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II in theaters.

Last night I tossed and turned. Not just for myself, but...

Facebook, Meet My New Boyfriend, Google+.

2 Comments | Posted July 13, 2011 | 6:57 PM

Facebook has taught me a lot about life. Since I joined three years ago I've perfected the passive aggressive status update (guess who I'm talking about!), the sly "brag" (hey, look what I can do/have), and the "I care about you just enough to leave you digital content but not...

Mac Love Hate

10 Comments | Posted March 23, 2011 | 5:25 AM

I felt nauseous and wanted to kill someone. My first though: "Oh crap, I'm pregnant." Nope, just in a Mac store.

It bothers me when people say they miss the "good old days". Which ones? The slavery days? When women couldn't vote days? I miss the good old days....

If the Disney Princesses Had Mothers: Belle

19 Comments | Posted March 17, 2011 | 12:55 PM

We've tackled Jasmine and Ariel but if there were ever a Disney Princess that needed an intervention, it would be Belle. When I watched this film as an adult, what stood out to me weren't the adorable songs ("Be Our Guest" is off the hook) or...

If Disney Princesses Had Mothers: Ariel

14 Comments | Posted March 16, 2011 | 5:28 PM

If you read the first installment of The Disney Princesses: If They'd Had Mothers, you already know that the writers at Disney have a secret agenda: to turn daughters into ditzes. Today we're going to examine Princess Ariel of The Little Mermaid; the foxy redheaded daughter of King...

The Disney Princesses: If They'd Had Mothers

65 Comments | Posted March 4, 2011 | 2:16 PM

Disney is an American icon but the next time your family snuggles up on the couch to watch the latest flick or strolls through Disneyland sipping on $7 bottles of water, "It's a Small World" beckoning in the distance, consider the fact that this company hates little girls.

Conversations With God: The Christmas Edition

2 Comments | Posted December 20, 2010 | 1:06 PM

A few years ago I read David Neale Walsch's, Conversations With God. Ok, I watched the movie, but the following week I checked out the book at the library and read a little more than half. Not bad at all! The movie was far more dramatic and followed David from...

Leggings Are Not Pants: An Essay

2 Comments | Posted October 13, 2010 | 7:14 PM

Just because something is trendy doesn't make it right. Unless you're six or on a ski slope, leggings are not pants. I'm bombarded with shiny black thighs and the indentation of female buttocks and it makes me wonder: where does one go dressed like that? To the gym? Surely not...

The Answers Google Instant Search Can't Give You But I Can

6 Comments | Posted October 7, 2010 | 5:54 PM

The latest baby born out of Google Labs, Instant Search, is only a few weeks old but already overachieving. Google promises that the new feature does to regular searches what Emeril believes too much garlic does for a recipe: kicks it up a notch.
