Moms, think hard before the Nip and the Tuck....

Lip Stick in Schools
According to a news report, a certain private school in Washington was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the bathroom. That was fine, but after they put on their lipstick, they would press their lips on the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them, and the...

Playscape:(n): from the latin: (torment) a swing...
My wife had been mentioning that “there is “nothing” for our son to do in our yard and he is bored”. She suggested a playscape; I instantly saw dollar signs. These puppies can run four to five to six thousand dollars. I did some research and realized I had a boatload of American Express bonus points I never used. I had Carrie investigate and she found a set at Home Depot for $600;...

A New Mommy shares with Mommyhumor!
We asked a New Mom from Connecticut what’s changed since her baby arrived on the scene? 1 - I forget to eat!! A “meal” sometimes consists of m&m’s and half a bagel! 2- I realize that I would take any pain, disappointment or hurt if it meant he didn’t have to ;-) 3-“dressing comfortably” has a whole new meaning….i used to wear hole-y Abercrombie jeans...
Puddle Jumping
Being an Urban Mom has its obvious drawbacks. For one thing, if you don’t live near Central Park or Riverside Park, your options are limited when it comes to outdoor activities. We often resort to things like playing on the roof of our buildings and kayaking on the Hudson River(praying that not an ounce of water brushes across our lips). So when my brothers and my cousin send me photos of...

Happy Mother's Day
Good morning Mom’s, Grandma’s, Aunts, Sisters, girlfriends: Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I have always thought it was a sweet holiday. I remember writing poems for my Mom, making breakfast in bed for her and telling my Dad to buy her Estee Lauder cream and foundation(I think she told me to tell him that). I remember feeling really lucky to have a Mom to celebrate and to...
Count down...2 days till "Mother's Day"
There are signs everywhere....you just have to...
I was on my way back to my office when I saw a torn flyer taped to a mail box. It read….. Male Neutered, Declawed Very Healthy Call: 917-867-5309 Dazed and confused, I read the sign again. Then, an obnoxious guy rode by on his bike and made a really lewd gesture towards me. I don’t know if it’s appropriate for a Mommy blogger to actually reveal...
Look who's hittin' the bottle!
You know you've been married too long when.....
Three women, one engaged, one married and one a mistress, are chatting about their relationships and decided to amaze their men. That night all three would wear black leather bras, stiletto heels and a mask over her eyes. After a few days they meet up for lunch. The engaged woman, ‘The other night when my boyfriend came over he found me with a black leather...
Strangest pets...
From the time my daughter was four she perseverated over three things on a daily basis. 1. Changing her name 2. Acquiring another new pet 3. Wearing her pink princess dress every day for 3 months. I felt the name changing was a sign of her creativity and independence…..not an emerging personality disorder. The lavish costume obsession paralleled her...
