I think this has already been discussed on Shine at some point, but it's something I hadn't paid much mind to up until a few days ago: mothers harshly criticizing other mothers.
I'm not talking about on the Internet either. Yes, blogs and forums... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (10) | Blog

Over the past few weeks, a good friendship has blossomed between myself and "N", a cool woman my age with a daughter near my son's age. We met at a neighborhood new mom's group, and she introduced me to the local library's story time for... Read More »

I signed up to bring the sweet potato dish to the Thanksgiving get together we're attending. It's a major foodie and chef crowd, so I want to make something unique and good. Any ideas? Read More »

Well, best thing I ever did besides having the kid :) And when I say "join", I really mean "show up for their totally informal weekly meetings at a local coffee shop". I showed up for my first meeting yesterday, completely unsure of what types of women would be there and whether or not we'd... Read More »

Recently, I became severely dissatisfied with my job, and made the difficult decision to quit with nothing else lined up. And since I have an infant son, my husband and I decided I'd stick around the house and freelance for a while. Well, shortly after I quit came all the news about our... Read More »

This is so silly, but I've been thinking about it a lot lately. How do you respond when a stranger directs compliments at your baby? Stuff like, "Oh, you're so cute!" or "Oh, you're so smart!". I've been saying "Thank you", but some people give me a weird and awkward look as if that's... Read More »

Tomorrow morning we are off to visit our family in Wisconsin as we do about 3 times a year (we live in California). Only this time, we've got the new baby in tow. The pressure to cram as much face time in with as many people as possible always plagues us on these trips, but this time it... Read More »

Everyone has one, or a few. Those little gold nuggets of good advice that you have tucked away in the back of your brain and they've managed to save you on more than one occasion. Just something your grandma, your mom, an uncle or the bartender has told you and you thought, "I gotta... Read More »

Just when I think I've finally gotten through to my family and friends, and made it clear to them that I don't under any circumstances want anything forwarded to me, they forward something to me. I have even made it clear that if they absolutely must send me something and can't just leave me... Read More »

So, it reached 84 degrees here in San Francisco today, a temperature we rarely see and therefore are not very equipped to handle. While sweating away in my living room this afternoon, it suddenly dawned on me that I'd probably have to turn on the oven to make dinner, boo! The temp spike... Read More »
