September 3, 2010 – 7:00 am | No Comment

Dear Mama Drama:
My two year old is potty training and has moved into wearing “big girl panties.” I am freaked out about taking her out of the house because I’m afraid she’ll have an accident and will become too discouraged. How can I take her out and help her to be successful?

A Taste of Culture this Holiday Season
December 18, 2007 – 12:55 am | 4 Comments

Even though I’ve got a holiday to-do list a mile long…plus work that continues to pile up…not to mention a desperate need to vacuum and mop…I’m going to treat myself this week.
No, not a facial or a massage or even a haircut (although that wouldn’t be a bad idea). I’m going to see the [...]

I have discovered what is perhaps the most innovative, brilliant and gloriously manipulative Santa tool EVER.
Let’s face it – those mall Santas are clueless with their fake beard and padded stomach. They don’t know who your child is or care what they want for Christmas.

On Getting Back Into Dodge
December 13, 2007 – 12:00 am | 33 Comments

Admittedly, when Dodge contacted Mile High Mamas during their quest to find 50 local moms to test drive their 2008 Dodge Caravan, I scoffed. To say I am not a fan of minivans is an understatement. My sole reasoning behind my disdain for them was summed up in Chipotle’s recent ad campaign that [...]

Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them
December 12, 2007 – 12:09 am | 7 Comments

It started out with a series of lies. Bald-faced lies. Lies where he thinks I am too stupid to figure them out because his perspective on the world is so narrow… that he can’t fathom there is stuff outside his realm of understanding. Therefore, if he doesn’t know it, *I* don’t know it either.
