You think the wind was bad last month? Then you don’t know about the 1000 mph winds on Jupiter. You remember that below zero cold spell we had in 2011? That would be a heatwave on Uranus. Did that Superbowl pot of chili lead to some odiferous effects in your family last week? Think about [...]
I was recently offered the opportunity to take my kids to The Uber Sausage located on Colfax and Detroit. I have to admit I am absolutely an adventurous eater – but I was not really sure what to expect from a place called the Uber Sausage. But I went. I honestly LOVED the place and [...]

Dear Mama Drama:
When do kids stop napping? My two and a half year old son has been resisting falling asleep for about a week now but if he does fall asleep, he’s out for 1-2 hours. How do I know if he needs it still? He’s a nightmare around 5 if he doesn’t nap. Suggestions??

Another day, another snow storm. Here are 50 ways to spend a snow day:
Make an abominable snowman. It’s like a regular snowman, but less friendly to passers-by.
Practice multiplication and script with your kids. That’ll put them in a REALLY good mood. For older kids, break out the practice tests.
Delete all of the expletive-laden “music” from [...]
Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil emerged from his lair to “see” his shadow on Thursday, in the process predicting six more weeks of winter.
But, at this rate, that might not be so bad.

Temperatures were [...]
