Chick. Chickachickahhhhh.

Posted by Emily

This past Saturday night I decided it was time to dig in my heels. Dave and I had been talking about our sons’ unmet milestone for some time and since the boys had shown little no to interest in crossing the threshold, it seemed like as good a time as any to give them a [...]

Nannie’s Master Class

Posted by Jessie

I am a big fan of Oprah’s new show Master Class.  It showcases “modern masters” such as Diane Sawyer and Sidney Poitier as they share some life lessons they have embraced on the path to success. This weekend my grandmother (aka. Nannie) turned 93.  If anyone deserves to give a Master Class, it’s her. Three years [...]

Insert Parent Here

Posted by Emily

I realize there are countless challenges associated with raising teenagers but, for me, one the hardest is not ignoring them.  Because at some point after our children’s little arms are long enough to reach around and wipe their own tushies, most of our interactions with them are judgment calls.  We spend our emotional energies deciding [...]

5 Truths From A Stay At Home Mom

Posted by Jessie

As Emily introduced on Monday, this week at MOB is dedicated to speaking some simple truths about life as either a SAHM or WM.  This is not intended to fuel a debate, since I have never really understood what there was to debate about.  In a debate, someone usually wins, right?  So what happens if [...]

5 Truths From A Working Mom

Posted by Emily

A comment in Jessie’s post last week prompted me to rise to her defense – alongside many others – after a reader taunted her life as a “main line mom” being “so difficult.”  The reader also suggested that “working moms” were somehow more worthy of writing about their struggles.  The comment bristled me in a [...]

A Room…Or Closet…Or Cubicle Of One’s Own

Posted by Jessie

My photo session with my friend Danette has left me green with envy.  Of what, you ask…her artistic talent?  Her flawless skin? Her TWO electric fireplaces?  Her adorable, big bicep-ed husband who knows how to use hair product and calls her “Peaches?” Well, yeah..but I am talking about her studio. Her quiet, attic-level, shiny floored, [...]

In His Shoes

Posted by Emily

I was standing in my kitchen on Saturday morning, clad in my pajamas when the dog needed to go out.  Typically when faced with this situation, I summon Dave who is almost always up and dressed before yours truly.  But Dave was not only up and dressed this morning.  He was already out with Chase [...]

Ready For My Closeup

Posted by Jessie

I hate having my picture taken.  The only thing I hate more than having my picture taken is being forced to actually LOOK at the photo that I was either roped into or was not quick enough to escape.  It is at this point that I turn to Phil and say, “Do I really look [...]
