Cut!

Mommy Brain

Posted on July 25, 2011 by Mommy Dish

To borrow a line from the classic TV show Cheers, “Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name.” In college, it was a bar or two (or three); now, it’s Target, Whole Foods, and Hannaford Supermarket. Yeah, I … Continue reading →

Dirty Girl

Posted on July 19, 2011 by Mommy Dish

Posted on July 11, 2011 by Mommy Dish

I slipped on a pair of pre-pregnancy capris this morning (confession: they’re the only ones that don’t require a lay-down-flat-on-the-bed-to-zip struggle) and found a binky in one pocket and $12 in the other. I am always on a frantic search … Continue reading →
