(Kind of) Living the Dream, Baby!

Posted on May 23, 2011 by Mommy Dish

I am an unapologetic home cook. I tugged at my Mom’s apron strings as a young girl, eager to mimic her style. And she taught me how to cook, bake, and curse “Mom’s G-d Damn Pie Crust” when it didn’t … Continue reading →

Posted on May 17, 2011 by Mommy Dish

Everyone in my house is downright cranky. The culprit? Rain, rain, and more cold rain spitting on what’s supposed to be spring. The heat is back on, the extra blankets are out of storage, and the Keurig is churning out … Continue reading →

Pressure Purchases

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Mommy Dish

While I am generally a master multitasker, I can be a procrastinator extraordinaire when it comes to certain things. First on my list of delay tactics? Pressure purchases. I need a dress. Not just any dress…a Mother-of -the-Bat-Mitzvah-girl dress. And I … Continue reading →

Mommy Meddlers

Posted on May 10, 2011 by Mommy Dish

Do you know what annoys me even more than my nail polish chipping as I open my car door after one of my now quarterly manicures?  Meddlers. Nosy, opinionated buttinskies. Especially those who are unrelated. I was out to lunch with … Continue reading →

Full Circle

Posted on May 8, 2011 by Mommy Dish

Posted on May 5, 2011 by Mommy Dish

Is it just me, or do Daddies have a unique way of doing everything Mommies wouldn’t do–during the time it takes for an environmentally-friendly seven-minute shower? This morning I found my son standing on our bedroom dresser, stark naked, laughing hysterically … Continue reading →

Hangin’ Tough

Posted on May 3, 2011 by Mommy Dish

Guess what sidelined me last night? One achy breaky tooth in desperate need of a filling. I whined, self-medicated, and Mommy juiced it up to try curb the pain. Admittedly, I was in full drama mama mode. It wasn’t pretty. … Continue reading →
