Two weeks ago my debut novel, Substitute Me hit store shelves. I’ve authored two other non-fiction books, Hair Story: Untangling the Roots of Black Hair in America and Kinky Gazpacho: Life, Love & Spain, but completing my first novel is like a dream come true for me. Ever since ...

I don't know if you remember my School's Out for the Summer post where I outlined an ambitious list of things I must get done to get this summer vacation thing going. Number 4 on the list was to enroll the little kids into swimming classes so that they can learn to ...

I swear, that one word can be said with so many different meanings behind it. I pretty much know exactly what my kids are going to say next after they say Mommy. I hear the word coming from all angles of the house and I already know what the issue ...

I'm having a rough week. And clearly I'm in trouble because it's only Wednesday. The nanny requested Friday off to attend a wedding, so that means that I'll have to slam 2 days of work into one tomorrow since I can't work on Friday. Tomorrow night I have an event ...

Ever since I was a little girl, I've been a people pleaser. Whether it was my parents, my teachers, or my (gag) boyfriends, I've always tried to make everyone happy - even if it was to my detriment. It didn't help that I am also a classic overachiever and a ...

You know George Clooney's character in Michael Clayton? He worked for a big, prestigious law firm as a "fixer," hired to handle difficult situations on behalf of the firm's clients. Well, it just dawned on me that I am my family's "fixer." Granted, I'm not covering up murders caused by ...

It's Friday. And usually I am looking forward to the weekend to catch up on life (i.e. laundry, house cleaning, grocery shopping, errands, etc.), but today I just feel beat. The madness will begin today at 3:30pm when I will leave work early to go see Chatterbox and Giggles perform ...

To borrow the phrase from JJ at Mischief Makers, I am in Single Mommy Boot Camp this week as hubby is at a week-long conference in a LUXURY HOTEL in SAN FRANSCISCO. Poor soul. The week got off to a promising start. Yesterday hubby left in the morning and the ...

I have no idea how it happened, but last week this mama went out on the town, sans kids, THREE times!! On Tuesday night, some friends and I went to Shecky's Girls Night Out for an evening of shopping, free cocktails, and a fly goodie bag. Can't beat that. It ...

Two completely unrelated things:(1) I found out why the nanny needed to take yesterday off - she was interviewing for a part-time nanny position that she will likely accept. The catch? It's from 6pm to 12am, 4 days a week! I immediately felt horrible. As a WOHM, I am completely ...
