Moving with Kids – Real Tips from Real Moms
Share the lies: The first time I moved, I was 22 years old and moving out of my parent’s house. All of my belongings fit into the back of a small pick-up truck and I had 6 people helping me move in to my first apartment (All family members. What can I say, I’m the [...]
City Mouse/Country Mouse
Share the lies: A few days ago I received a letter from a fan of the blog asking me for my perspective on raising kids in the city. It got me thinking (especially since we are about to leave the city), about how/if it is possible to give kids a taste of all of the [...]
Bears, Moons and Caterpillars….Oh My!
Share the lies: I recently had the privilege of chaperoning one of Charlie’s class trips to go see A Bear, A Moon and a Caterpillar: Treasured Stories by Eric Carle at the Victory Gardens Biograph Theatre. Oh my God you guys! It was totally cute! The show itself is a puppet show put on by [...]
Really?
Share the lies: As you all know, there are currently two toddlers living in my house. They are the most adorable freeloaders ever (I might be a tad biased). But being around them day in and day out, has left me in a constant state of confusion. This confusion coupled with the SNL news skit [...]
Dear God. I’ve Become My Mother.
Share the lies: Do you remember when you were a kid and there was “a big event” in your life? Usually one in which you, as the kid, would be ridiculously spoiled for the day, which you, as the kid, totally couldn’t handle. This pampering, at some point during the day, would equate to some [...]

Black Lab:1 Sandee: 0
Share the lies: I love dogs. I consider myself a dog person. In fact, the only reason we don’t already have a dog is because I don’t want another mammal in my house that doesn’t wipe it’s own ass. This past weekend, Nick and I took the kids to Wisconsin to get out of the [...]
Willy Wallace Wha???
Share the lies: Recently, in addition to superheros, Charlie is also really in to skyscrapers (I think it’s the whole “leaping tall buildings in a single bound” thing). So on Saturday, we attempted to take the kids to the sky deck at the Willis Tower, which Charlie has dubbed the Willy Wallace Tower, and according [...]
El Charlito
Share the lies: Thanks to Nick’s sister, Charlie has moved beyond dead things to a new fascination! Da da da daaaaaaa! Superheros! Uncle Allie and Aunt Brian (I know, I know, don’t ask), recently took a Habitat for Humanity trip to Guatemala and she bought this from a street vendor. Apparently, there is a popular [...]
I Will Love Him, And Hug Him, And Squeeze Him, And I Will Call Him George
Share the lies: On Saturday, we went to a Green Expo because they had farm animals for the kids. Within ten minutes, Tilly threw two ducklings. I quickly got them (her) the hell out of there before we were forced to buy a dead duckling. With the addition of a dead frog to our family, [...]
