Today Is A Gift

April 29, 2015 by Sara 3 Comments

Today I am 46. For months this number has bothered me. Closer to 50 than 40. Old. Middle-aged. How fortunate I would be if 46  is middle-aged. How lucky I am to be another day older. These are my thoughts this morning. Yesterday, a wonderful family that I know was robbed of their husband and … [Read more...]

What If The Sperm Bank Lied?

April 21, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

Over the last week, there's been a story in the news about an Ontario couple suing a sperm bank for giving them false information about the donor that they chose to use to father their child. I've read a slew of articles and I've listened to a few shows about it. And naturally I have an … [Read more...]

Get Outside Kid!

April 8, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

So the Free Range parenting thing is back in the news today. The same kids in the States got picked up again because their parents let them go to a park alone. A ten-year old and his six-year old sibling. I'm of two minds on this one. I get that the law in that state says you have to be 13. But I … [Read more...]

Being There

March 18, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

We have a routine on Tuesday nights. I go to a spinning class for an hour with my girlfriends and one of their husbands, who shall now forever be known as Chef Spaghetti, makes dinner for our kids and then for us after class. (Yes, I live in Pleasantville.) Will loves it. I love it. Well, okay I … [Read more...]

Given The Choice

March 12, 2015 by Sara 2 Comments

Before I had Will, there were a few promises I made to myself about how I wanted to raise him. Now, stop rolling your eyes. These weren't promises along the lines of 'my kid is going to be the next Michael Jordan!' I'm talking more along the lines of things I wanted to do to make sure he kept … [Read more...]

I Have An Issue With DUFF

February 20, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

I need to understand why there isn't more flack on the media about the movie DUFF coming out. In a social media world where women are literally freaking out that untouched pictures of Beyonce hit the internet, when a kid from Walmart becomes famous because he's adorable or where your own mugshot … [Read more...]

Seeing The Light

February 18, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

We had a difficult Fall if you remember me writing about it. I didn't recognize my kid much. He was aggressive at school, weepy at home and generally just out of sorts. Since then, I've moved him to a younger before and after school program and spent December solely focused on him. He's also … [Read more...]

Growing A Child Freaked Me Out!

February 12, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

There are a few things in this life that I struggle to wrap my head around. First off, thinking about dying and having the world go on without me. I don't mean this in a 'I'm the King of the World' way. It's the thought of one day Will carrying on without me here to see it. That thought can send … [Read more...]

5 Things I’ve Learned Today

January 28, 2015 by Sara 1 Comment

This morning, Will taught me a couple things and I had an 'a-ha' parenting moment. I thought I'd take a minute to share because any one of these things could prove useful to you as you start your day. 1. 'Even though lots of people think the Milky Way is a big giant circle in the sky made out of … [Read more...]

The Surviving Parent

January 21, 2015 by Sara Leave a Comment

Want to know my current pet peeve? I mean besides the dude that moves me out of my swimming lane every morning? (Yes - I'm talking to you guy in the bad speedo and earplugs!). Parenting labels. PARENTING LABELS! Helicopter; Free-Range; Tiger; Dolphin; Attachment; Cry-it-outs; Co-sleepers; … [Read more...]
