Rose-Tinted Parenting

I write this post at 3:46 a.m. That’s of course after first leaping out of bed, pealing my pulsating heart off the sticky floor, and shoving it back inside my chest. It’s after dragging my feet into the next room where the dim light from sleeping children’s rooms casts faint shadows on gray walls as [...]

Farewell Mr. Poopie!

Today my 2-year-old, while sitting on the pot, exclaimed in a desperate voice: “Mommy, I talk to my poopie. But why he no talk back to me?” My answer: “Because poopie is NOT your friend.” I can only pray that the days of playing with Mr. Poopie are over! Ciao, Melodramamma 0 I like This [...]

My piercing wake-up call amplified straight out of the pumping lungs of my passionate three-year-old, in Cecilia Bartoli worthy pitches, that echoed straight down the halls all the way into Mommy’s bedroom.

NONpliment #801: Please DON’T Draw THAT!

I was so honored when my 3-year-old daughter showed me a portrait entitled “Mommy.” Yes, how wonderful that my child takes the time to draw such vivid pictures of non other than yours truly. But as I glanced across the page, past the three eyelashes and crooked eyebrows … Yes, it was there on the [...]

Grandma’s Irish Soda Bread Recipe

In spite of all my posts on being an Italian, I’ll have you know that I’m also 25% Irish. That means, yes, today, I’m NOT getting pinched cause I’m sporting green. And tonight, I will be cooking the traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage for a family affair. While I am currently scurrying around my recipe [...]

Pass Mommy the Oxygen Mask

You know you’re tired when you kiss the kids goodnight and crawl into your own bed, all before 7:30! But the true sign of exhaustion is when you wake up in pitch darkness and both kids are somehow in your bed and you have no recollection of how they got there, or how you got [...]
