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?

Middle-Aged Suburban Sow – Yep, That Sounds About Right
March 5, 2008 – 12:19 am | 8 Comments

Occasionally I reprint one of my posts from my personal blog mothergoosemouse on YourHub.com, the Parker edition.
I typically select posts that pertain to events or issues in the local Denver area, and a recent post about an incident at a local high school was a perfect fit, so I copied and pasted it – knowing [...]

Your Opinion: The Anti-Gym
January 31, 2008 – 12:11 am | 10 Comments

The first I heard of The Anti-Gym was a radio ad in which one guy castigated another guy for having “man boobs.”
I remember chuckling incredulously to myself, thinking “Did I hear that right? Man boobs?” Radio ads rarely get my attention, with the exception of the Bud Light “Real Men of Genius” [...]

A Taste of Culture this Holiday Season

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 [...]

When I came out to Colorado to go house-hunting, I noticed three things at nearly every house I viewed:
Xeriscape – What’s with all the rocks?
Front-facing, three-car garages – Is the house really just one big garage?
Displays of religion – Crucifixes, sculptures, framed scripture, and more (although not a single mezuzah, which wasn’t much of a [...]

Interview with the Vampira

My younger daughter is in speech therapy. According to her assessments, she’s just about a year behind schedule. That lost year has caused a lot of day-to-day angst for the entire family as we struggle to understand her and she struggles to be understood. I wish I could say that I have [...]

On Feeling Worthy

Once, while waiting outside the office building where I worked in New York, I was mistaken for a hooker. Or possibly a drug dealer. I’m not sure which.
All I know is that I was waiting for my husband Kyle – who had rented a car on the other side of town – to come pick [...]
