The Office Party

Posted by Jessie

I used to dread going to Phil’s work party.  Maybe because after 7 years of marriage, I am still not exactly sure what Phil actually DOES.  I tend to freeze up at the question: “Oh, what does your husband do?” I just string together some key words like “engineering…validation….pharmaceutical…software…services” until the person’s eyes glaze over [...]

Possessed

Posted by Emily

I had a few minutes of alone time on Wednesday night as I drove to a meeting at my synagogue.  My mind always races when I’m in the car, often at the speed at which I’m driving which in this case was 73 … 65 … 56 mph.  As I neared my destination, my thoughts [...]

May I Offer You a Sh*t Waffle?

Posted by Emily

It is mid-December and somewhere out there the 2012 Parent of the Year nominations are due.  The following is my submission for, uh, ….. myself: Last month, our family traveled down to Washington D.C. for the weekend and on Saturday night Chase and I found ourselves standing in the literary section of Urban Outfitters in Georgetown.  [...]

Mommy’s Colors

Posted by Jessie

It all started so innocently.  I thought, what’s the big deal?   Everyone is doing it.  Besides, it’s only once and a while…it’s not like she’s doing it all the time.  She can stop any time she wants to.  We all deserve a little treat now and then, right?  Everyone needs a little something to help [...]

Things That Go Bump in the Night

Posted by Kate

MoB is pleased to have guest blogger Kate Barrett share a tale today – one to which we can all relate.  Read on…. My 5-year-old lost her first tooth yesterday. After weeks of wiggling, tongue-pushing, and finally aggressive twisting, it finally succumbed during math lessons. I got the news as soon as I got home [...]

The Shower Scene

Posted by Emily

As you go through your daily routine, do you ever find yourself thinking that your life resembles a Hollywood movie?  It happens to me all the time.  But only recently have I been inspired enough to write about it.  So to demonstrate the remarkable likeness, below I have presented two, side-by-side shower scenes.  One is [...]

Are You Listening?

Posted by Jessie

Even as a little girl, I was always told that I had a vivid imagination and a flair for the dramatic.  By the time I was five, my neighbor Mr. Padden referred to me as Morgan Fairchild.  I had no idea who that was, but the name sounded pretty glamorous so I just rolled with [...]

Occupy This

Posted by Emily

Like many of you I’ve followed the Occupy movement with sense of curiosity and befuddlement.  In solidarity with the protesters, I share the sentiment that something is not quite right in America these days.  But that’s where my camaraderie ends.  Because – hellooooo – life has never been fair and the 99 percent have always [...]
