Fish Food In The Sock Drawer…. Totally Normal, Right?
I don't know about you, but laundry hanging out of every drawer and stacked up on top of the bureau makes me NUTS! Today I couldn't take it anymore so I stopped what I was doing and started sorting out my oldest son's drawer. Not only did I find toddler sized socks (he's 15 😳) but I also found size 5T jammies. I also found a bottle of fish food that was dumped on the bottom, who knows when.... I shook out each pair of underwear and each pair of socks and little dried up pieces of fish food fell out of them. So this leads me to believe a few things. First of all, one of the kids spilled fish food into another kid's underwear drawer and didn't clean it up. They also … [Read More...]
Why This Mom Loves Pokemon Go!
This mom of four (ages 8,10, 13, and 15) loves Pokémon Go! When my oldest two were younger and really into Pokémon, I was sometimes pregnant, sometimes nursing and ALWAYS tired. I could hear them talking about Pikachu and Dragonite and it sounded like a totally different language to me. They read the books, collected the cards, and watched the … [Read More...]
A Lost Child…. Every Parent’s Nightmare
Walking down the very crowded Ocean City boardwalk, in the middle of my long-awaited vacation last week, I heard the cry of a terrified child. My friend and I stopped short, as did a bunch of other moms. We know what primal fear sounds like. I turned to see a lost little boy. He had found a police officer who was saying and doing all the right … [Read More...]
A Little Update
I try not to overload Mommy Business with too much Joshua Kaye Foundation- but I've realized that's probably more than a little crazy. Losing Joshua has changed us forever, and we put so much of our energy into trying to #SpreadLoveAndKindness in his memory. This weekend, we held our first Family Fun Day & Touch-a-Truck event and it was fantastic. … [Read More...]
Not so Black and White
A few days ago, I shared an article and petition on our Facebook page. The petition demands that a "South African mayor stop invasive and degrading virginity tests" as scholarship criteria. I shared it because it horrifies me to think that young women are being held to certain expectations around their sexuality, and that they have to endure regular … [Read More...]
What 45 Looks Like
I was on a weekend getaway with my family recently in New Hampshire, when I bumped into an acquaintance who lives in the town next to mine. We knew each other well enough to say hello and chat a bit. We talked about skiing and North Conway and how great it is. She asked me if I skied and I told her I hadn't put them on since before children. Since my … [Read More...]
Getting Creative With Sun Butter!
As a mom to four children with many activities and food allergies, I have to be creative with meals since most of them are eaten on the go. Sandwiches seem to be the go-to option in our house. With the new year right around the corner, I am trying to come up with some new sandwich recipes to spice things up a bit. We have been in a super boring … [Read More...]
Customer Service No-No – Best Buy Lost A Customer Today
I am writing this post mostly to vent, but I'm also hoping somebody learns something about customer service from it too. On 9/12/15, I went into our local Best Buy to replace a teeny tiny tv screen I have had in my kitchen for years. My husband got it for me for my birthday and it hangs under my cabinet, just above my counter and folds up so you … [Read More...]

I am not an obsessive shopper, by any means, but I loooove finding great new toys for Little A and her friends. I was thrilled to receive a collection of Connects, by Fathom-Toys, to review. Connects are little, colorful, plastic, chain-link pieces that come in sturdy clear containers to keep them corralled. Of course I asked- the plastic is free of … [Read More...]
