It’s that time of year when mothers load up their motor boats, throw back a couple of drinks, forget to eat and then fail sobriety tests. Even if they are awesome powerhouses like Erin Brockovich-Ellis. More
Who doesn’t love Sunday brunch? You have eggs Benedict, waffles, bacon, and everyone’s favorite, booze. There is nothing like a nice mimosa when you’re good and hungover from a wild Saturday night. Unless, of course, you’re a little kid.
This past Sunday, one family’s Sunday brunch was allegedly more like happy hour. The parents claim that the restaurant served their three children, ages two, three and seven, mimosas instead of plain orange juice. More
Super fucking annoyed when I can only find Children’s Advil. I try to do math. My daughter sucks on two and a half of these when she has a headache. So I need…what? Five? I pop a Children’s Advil in my mouth and spit it out immediately. How do children EAT those things? But it’s that or Baby Tylenol. Actually think of drowning the rest of the bottle of Baby Tylenol before remembering that I put the Advil in my red purse, the one I used when I went to see daughter’s school concert. More
Oh teenagers and their perceptions of reality. Most really do believe they are indestructible. According to a new study, some also believe that drinking and drugging will actually help them drive better.
I’ve always lived by the motto “everything in moderation!” Well, tried to anyway. I, like many other women enjoy the occasional glass of wine. Okay – the nightly glass of wine. I never really worried about this habit, though. But it turns out that rewarding yourself with that glass of wine at the end of the day may be doing more harm than you think. A new study shows a serious link between alcohol and cancer – and you don’t have to be an alcoholic to be affected. More
Sometimes they include gender reveals or party games or the oohing and aching over tiny little onesies but we have all obviously been doing it wrong all of these years because most of our baby showers have never resulted in bottles being broken over the guest’s heads or the cops being called. Gone are the days of family matriarchs holding court and pastel colored balloons and cake pops, we now have baby showers that include tazers. More
This pregnancy comes on the heels of a miscarriage. As a result, I’ve spent the past nine weeks mired in fear, doubt, worry and tears. On the day I hit the 10-week mark, I made myself a light hot toddy, sat back with a book and took a moment just to enjoy that I had a child in me. More
Senator Rand Paul went through a difficult and stressful parenting situation this weekend. His 19-year-old son was arrested for minor consumption and public intoxication at a North Carolina airport on Saturday. And call us crazy, but the Mommyish team can’t help but feel a little sorry for the politician and his misbehaving offspring. More
My husband and I have gone over this a million times. Sometimes he says he’s done, he’s just going to quit. But then he follows up with this self-indulgent request to “please be understanding if I’m not in the best mood for a few days.” I have heard that proclamation so many times it’s laughable. Now, whenever he says he’s quitting, I just stay quiet and continue with whatever I’m doing. More
