But I’M (sob) NOT (yawn) TIRED!

April 27, 2017

Here you go. Another expert parenting gem from my small bag of wisdom. I now attack bedtime with complete sarcasm. Every night for the last two weeks it’s “I’M NOT TIRED!” How familiar those words are. I can remember sitting at the top of the stairs in my house screaming the same thing to my […]

The One Where the Police are Called

April 20, 2017

It’s no secret that over the holidays I read 5 – 7 parenting books. I’ll tell anyone who will listen. I’ve been having a spat with someone in the Amazon comments for one of these books where I gave it a one-star review and they felt the need to school me on how to do […]

Couldn’t Get it Right

February 12, 2017
