Mama Drama: Potty Training On The Go
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?

I Scream, You Scream….
July 10, 2008 – 12:44 am | 9 Comments

I love ice cream. Doesn’t matter if it’s ninety degrees out or nine – I’m always in the mood for ice cream.
I’m guessing that my love of ice cream is inherited. My father, who’s not big on sweets, loves ice cream too. Growing up, we always had ice cream in the freezer. [...]

Keep On Truckin’ (If You Must)
June 25, 2008 – 12:33 am | 7 Comments

At the risk of sounding like Jerry Seinfeld, what’s the deal with trucks?
I realize that I’m practically inviting hate mail by posting this here at Mile High Mamas, where I’d bet more than two-thirds of our audience owns a truck, but it’s been a while since I stirred the pot, so I figured it might [...]

Actress and Mom for Controversial Anti-Gym Weight Loss Ads Speaks Out!
June 10, 2008 – 12:00 am | 8 Comments

Last January, I posted a piece about The Anti-Gym here at Mile High Mamas. The feedback from readers ranged from disgust at the “in your face” approach to praise for the very same.
Then, about a week and a half ago, I received a most unexpected comment on that piece–from one of the actresses in [...]

To Speech or to not to Speech – When Speech Therapy Proves Helpful!
May 14, 2008 – 12:32 am | 7 Comments

A few weeks ago, the evening before Take Your Child to Work Day, we received a call from my daughter CJ’s speech therapist, asking whether we’d mind if she brought her daughter to class the next day.
“Why would we mind?” I asked Kyle after he got off the phone.
He shrugged. “Privacy issues. Some [...]

Relishing my final baby’s firsts!
April 23, 2008 – 12:43 am | 5 Comments

I’ve heard from others (and found it to be true myself) that there’s something magical about reaching the three-month milestone. Making that transition from newborn to baby – from a squalling bundle of constant neediness to a tiny little person who smiles, gurgles, and even exercises intermittent control of his limbs – it’s exhausting but [...]

What are your favorite outdoor activities as a family?
April 8, 2008 – 12:40 am | 5 Comments

Last weekend, we went hiking at Castlewood Canyon. It was one of those beautiful spring days that fools you into thinking that it won’t snow again. It was breezy and sunny, and we had a backpack filled with hot dogs and buns, and the makings for s’mores.
I carried Oliver in the Baby Bjorn [...]

Whither I goest, my baby will go
March 26, 2008 – 12:32 am | 12 Comments

The brouhaha of this past week regarding a blogger junket planned by Johnson & Johnson got me thinking about where it’s appropriate to bring a baby, and where it’s not.
Last summer, when I was still pregnant, many of my fellow bloggers brought their babies to the BlogHer conference in Chicago. Some of them [...]
