To say that my 6-year-old son, Dylan, is a creature of habit is an understatement. He will happily eat the same food every day, go to sushi only on Fridays (because that’s what we did the first time we went), will watch the same movie 15 times over, and have the same book read to him every night for weeks. It takes a drawn out battle to get him to try something new. But the worst is the food. He politely refuses just about every new food we present to him – even pizza!
I am grateful that Dylan does eat from the 4 food groups but his range is very limited – pasta and couscous, green beans and sugar snap peas, cheese, tofu, almonds, and oranges – those are the staples. Ever so often Bill and I talk about instituting some tough love in the form of presenting him with the same food every meal until he tries it, but we never seem to be able to stick to it.

The other day my 10-month-old decided to take a short evening nap leaving me with some free time. For a mother who loves to cook un-interrupted in the kitchen and do a little experimenting, this was a welcome nap! Since it was too early for dinner, I decided to make a snack.
I checked the refrigerator, and saw mushrooms, cheese and spinach. It was time for stuffed mushrooms! Read the rest of this entry »

Now I know most mom’s would not be surprised when a friend tells them that their baby looks like them. But you see my baby has a “bio daddy”.
My partner gave birth to our daughter 8 months ago. We did “order” up a daddy that looked like me but you never know if what they say on the form is true. He did say he was handsome… but don’t we all think we look good?? Especially after watching sexy movies at a sperm bank??
My partner is a gorgeous tan Latina with brown eyes while I am a pale skinned green eyed girl. Looks like our girl is going to need SPF 50 for the rest of her life just like me!

Tips and tricks
What a morning it’s been here in NYC! Martha Stewart just wrapped her live show on blogging.
What a treat it was not only to be in the audience, but to have the freedom to take pictures, live blog and tweet during the show – definitely not the typical “turn-off-your-cell-phone” experience. The audience was filled with bloggers from all over the world who came prepared with Netbooks and iPhones to share their live experience over the web.
The Show featured several guest bloggers Read the rest of this entry »

This morning I am on my way to see the Grand Dame of entertaining, Martha Stewart, as she tapes a show on blogging. I have been a Martha fan for years and have a collection of her magazines happily collecting dust on my bookshelf (note to self: Pledge the bookshelves when you get home!).
Well before I was into entertaining, decorating, or managing a home, I was reading Martha. Read the rest of this entry »

Last night I was helping my dyslexic 10-year-old daughter get herself organized for upcoming spelling tests. She groups the words together so that they make logical sense to her (and obviously not to me!).
I wrote up several practice templates like this: Read the rest of this entry »

In the past few months, being the mom of two little boys has been… well, painful at times. Among us we’ve suffered from a scratched cornea, a broken nose (mine), a sliced-open finger, two split lips and three shiny forehead knots (the imprint of my son’s block is still on my hairline as I type).
At just 3-1/2 and 13 months, my boys spend their days daydreaming about—and practicing for—their debut on the football/soccer/baseball/you-name-it field. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s been a whirlwind 26 hours (no thanks to Southwest Airlines!) here in Las Vegas for the Consumer Electronics Show. Today I attended the Mommy Tech full day session which discussed mom as the decision maker, schedule keeper, memory archivist, and even doctor of the household. Gosh, we wear so many hats don’t we?
A bevy of gadgets and software aimed at helping mom stay organized, informed and save time were shown for busy moms on the go. Read the rest of this entry »

I hope that your holidays were as wonderful as they were in my household. The loads of plastic, noise-making, batteries-required toys were dull in comparison to my daughter’s simple Elmo doll (No she did not get the annoying Talking Elmo – thank gawd!).
As far as I know she has no reference of who Elmo is. We don’t watch Sesame Street or have Elmo books. Yet, she is obsessed! Read the rest of this entry »
