Please welcome my good friend, Jodi, who is guest posting today. Jodi is the mother of Michael, the blogger behind Jodifur.com, and a fellow DC-area resident (which means I get to bump in to her every once in a while…or catch a day-time, just-for-fun movie together). It used to really matter to me that…
Sponsored Video: Four Girls + One Shower = Clogged Drains
This post has been sponsored by Liquid-Plumr®, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Let me tell you a little about my house. This week marked the 16th anniversary of moving in to our little townhouse. When we bought it, as a young couple with one baby, the 3 bedroom, 3 level townhouse…
Parenting Tips: How To Manage a Large Family #DeliveryMan
I received a review copy of Delivery Man, which came out on DVD/Blu-ray this week. Thoughts and opinions are my own. I don’t go out with all 5 of my kids very often anymore. Back when they were little – in diapers and strollers and such – I always had them tagging along behind…
The Importance of Family Meal Time #NewTraDish
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Ragú® Official New Tra-Dish. The opinions and text are all mine. When I was growing up, my mom had a home-cooked meal on the table for us every single night. Taco salad. Pork chops on rice. Spaghetti and meat balls. It didn’t really…
Sponsored Video: How to Make Cleaning Fun
This post has been sponsored by Glad Black Bag, but all opinions are my own. I was just talking with a friend on Sunday about the fact that getting kids to clean up their messes doesn’t get easier as they get older. We both had really hoped that it would. When the kids were little,…
Kristen Bell Speaks Out Against #Pedorazzi
Last week, I had the opportunity to talk on the phone with Kristen Bell. No compensation was received…unless you count the fact that I am a huge fan of Veronica Mars and I was dying (read: giddy) about the chance to talk to Kristen for the second time in just a few months. OK,…
Yes, Parenting Gets Harder as Kids get Older
I remember, as a teenager, recognizing something about myself. Although I had always considered myself shy, I felt very comfortable and confident around two groups of people: the very old and the very young. In college, I again recognized my strengths (and my weaknesses) and decided to major in Early Childhood Education. I have…

This list of 100 ways to show your child you love them is sponsored by Alomune. All thoughts, opinions and list items are my own. During this month where we celebrate LOVE just a little more than usual, thanks to Valentine’s Day, I’ve been thinking about more ways that I can show my kids that I…
Our New Valentine’s Day Traditions #SendMoreLove
This post brought to you by Treat.com. All opinions are 100% mine. I loved Valentine's Day when I was a kid. I recall carefully choosing the best Valentine-out-of-a-box for each of my classmates and then writing their names next to TO: and my name next to FROM:… My childhood Valentine’s Day traditions consisted of a…
Sponsored Video: The Case of the Scary Mom (and Dad)
This post was sponsored by Chloraseptic but all thoughts are my own. Coughs, runny noses, sore throats…they seem to come with the season. This winter has been particularly brutal with the temperatures well below freezing for days on end. There’s nothing worse than dealing with a little one who is sick, unless it is…
