Wow. My mind was blown today. A friend sent me this article about Abercrombie & Fitch.

Do you remember shopping there when you were in college? I sure do. (Do they still smell like a junior high dance where the boys put on waaaay too much of dad's...

Cette semaine, l'envie d'avoir un bébé m'est passée pour de bon. Il y a six ans, je donnais naissance à mon dernier enfant, Adolpha* (oui, c'était la dernière, et bien que j'ai vécu le début de mon blogue il y a deux ans comme une naissance et que parfois, il...

I have been getting my baby fix this week. Six years ago, I gave birth to my final baby, Adolpha.* (Yes, she was the last, although starting my blog almost two years ago felt a bit like giving birth and while sometimes it's my favorite child, I still...

I don't know about you, but I spent many a Valentine's Day home alone wishing someone would spend his allowance on a ridiculously over-sized teddy bear holding a plush heart that I could perch in the corner of my room as a constant reminder that someone loved me.

I've written...

I am a huge fan of Downton Abbey and I have spoilers in this post, so if you are not yet caught up, go watch it now and come back. And if you haven't yet seen it. Ugh. Get on Netflix right now and get caught up. You can thank...

If you've been reading me for any length of time, you will know that I love to make a good list of rules. Rules for daughters. Rules for sons. Rules for my kids when they're at playdates. Rules for moms who host...

Have you heard the news yet? I am absolutely brimming with excitement for Kanye West and Kim Kardashian and their new little "Kash Kow" (thanks to some random Kanye Twitter follower for that bit of brilliance). That's right! Kimye is going to have a Bay-Bay. Imagine my delight when I...

Despite the devastation that Sandy has brought on New York City, Mayor Bloomberg has decided to go ahead and hold the New York City Marathon this Sunday.

I can't even believe that this is in the works. Sure, it has the potential to be a huge revenue boost for the...

Dear Bra Manufacturers,

Hi there. I'm Jen. I am a 40-year-old mother of two.

Actually, allow me to introduce myself in a language you can understand: I'm a 38 DDD.

I have always had a ridiculous time bra shopping for these small boulders I carry around and I'm always cursing...

A few months ago I wrote about Toddlers & Tiaras and now I am back again on this topic.

There is a new TLC hit show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. WTF, TLC? Just when I thought TLC couldn't sink any lower, they have shown us that they...

One morning the Hubs and I were watching the news and there was a story about a family fishing and as they were reeling their fish into the boat, a shark came out of nowhere and bit the fish off the line. They showed the video and the Hubs said,...

DISCLAIMER: I don't think there are any spoilers in here, but I can't be certain. I think we all know what this movie is about. I'm not going to reveal any plot twists or the ending, or anything like that. However, if by reading this review, the mystery of "Magic...

I should know better by now. If I leave my house I'm going to encounter people who bug me.

In the last few weeks I've left the house a lot. I've been spending a good amount of time at the pool and the movies and shopping. I encountered many...

Dear Silly Celebrity Moms,

Hi, it's me again. Jen, the opinionated one. Or, as my friend, Tina will someday call me: The Jeneral.

I know, I know. I can't stop harping on you guys, but you just keep putting your bat shit crazy out there and I can't...

By now you've figured out that I don't like weak parents. I don't like parents who let the kids call all the shots. I don't like parents who want to be their children's friend. I don't like parents who sigh heavily and say, "Well, what can I do? Jax refuses...

Well, as long as parents like these exist, I don't need to worry about getting the World's Worst Parenting Award. WTF, people? Seriously? Two kids in one week left at Chuck E. Cheese?!

I can almost get how this could happen. Chuck E. Cheese is mind-numbing and being trapped there...

We went to a public playscape the other day and I was surprised my children didn't come home with The Bubonic Plague. It seemed like every other kid in there was snotting on everything, coughing up a lung or projectile vomiting.

I overheard one mom actually say, "We just came...

As you know by now, I believe strongly in rights for women and I absolutely can not stand it when politicians, (mostly celibate) clergyMEN, and anyone else starts telling me (and my daughter) what I can and can not do with my reproductive organs and how much they expect me...

I should really not leave my house, because when I do, I get annoyed by the people I encounter. As you may know, I've got two rugrats and a shopping addiction, so I spend a lot of time in children's clothing stores. The other day I was in such a...

Valentine's Day is here and I should be writing a heartfelt post about the Hubs. I've done that already and then he responded and then I responded and now I'm just bored by all of that.

Instead, I will send out a very special Valentine to the person I think...
