Meet Our New Family Pets! Last summer, Princess Roundhead and Chubs made us that deal that if we got them hermit crabs then we didn’t have to get them American Girl Dolls. We fell for it, got them their crabs and then we ended up at the stupid American Girl Doll Store anyway to spend […]

Read MoreDC’s Best College Advisor – Get Your Kids Into College The Scandal-Free Way
July 17, 2019Best College Advisor My kids might be nowhere near ready to leave the nest and go off to a university, but time goes by fast—and before I know it, they’ll be pulling ramen fueled all-nighters and fending off frat boys left and right. The college admissions process is no joke (just ask Lori Loughlin), so […]
Read MoreHow the Terzis Family Landed in Disney Jail
July 12, 2019Apologies. This one is long overdue. The day after Real Estate Dad and I were married, we were at my parent’s house. Someone started talking about the time we ended up in Disney Jail.

July 03, 2019Living in DC With Kids And Dogs It is rare that I look back on a day and say, “Good parenting today, Melissa.” Mostly I feel like I’m just getting by on fumes and promising myself I’ll do better tomorrow. I’ll get back to this in a moment. There’s a postscript to the story of […]
Read MoreWhatever You Do, Don’t Open the Box
July 01, 2019Don’t Open the Box Summer is off to a good start. The first week it pretty much rained on and off, just enough so the kids couldn’t go to the pool, I had clients who walked away from a death-trap-money-pit house and the Pro-Terz clan went to another Big Fat Greek Wedding. Sort of. It’s […]

Read MoreOn Wednesdays, We Wear Pink
June 03, 2019On Wednesday’s We Wear Pink Like so many other mothers of girls, I do not look forward to the teen years. I can’t believe my girls are going to endure the really crappy teen nonsense and there is nothing I can do about it. I encourage all the camaraderie they have with their girlfriends now, […]
Read MoreSomeone Jizzed on Santa
May 31, 2019Someone Jizzed on Santa Now that we no longer have Summer Nanny, we have to parent our own children. It’s not so bad because we “text-in-sick” way less than Summer Nanny. I tried to text-in-sick once, but Real Estate Dad didn’t buy it when I said that the mockingbirds in Glover Park formed a gang […]
