September 7, 2016 by UrbanMoms Leave a Comment

It happens to the best of us, no matter how hard we try to avoid it. For many, even the sheer mention of it makes us feel itchy, icky and sends shivers up our spines.

As I picked up my kids from school on Friday afternoon, just before the Thanksgiving long weekend, my chatty daughter thrust a handful of artwork at me with one hand, and quickly wiggled her index finger into the elastic of her ponytail. Um... Still talking a mile a minute about her day, she … [Read more...]

When Is Daddy Coming Home?

January 13, 2012 by Amanda

We are just over 1/3 of the way through my husband's South American business trip. (One week down, two more to go.) I'll admit it, I didn't think it would be too hard with him gone. He often works long hours on the orchard and I am used to toting around all three kids on my own. But it has been … [Read more...]

What Drives a Mummy to Drink? L.I.C.E. – Part II

September 30, 2010 by Tracey

So where did I leave off?  Oh, right... I was doing the happy dance, as I'd convinced myself that I'd managed to save my son's glorious hair from being taken over by the dreaded, intrepid head lice.  We'd done two treatments.  I'd become a serious nit-picker.  In fact, any strand … [Read more...]
