Parenting A Newborn Is Just Like A Harry Potter Movie

April 20, 2016 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

Harry Potter is a timeless franchise, the kind you wish would never end (just like the days when your kid is still super cute and can't talk yet). J.K. Rowling created a series that is truly magical, just like the experience of raising children. Some parenting moments are more wizard-like than … [Read more...]

Spy Versus Spy: How I Keep My Son On His Toes

February 17, 2016 by Alison Tedford 3 Comments

My child is adorable but incredibly devious. He's clever, sneaky and I never see his brilliance coming. I've come to expect the unexpected raising him, and my life has been enriched for it. He's a secret agent of sass; for that and many other reasons, I love him. Take a couple weeks ago, for … [Read more...]

The Math Of Motherhood

January 27, 2016 by Alison Tedford 3 Comments

After 8 years, I am finally starting to understand how math relates to motherhood. Like all those years ago in the classroom, I'm just figuring things out. I used to be pretty good at math, but parenting hasn't come as easily. Sometimes I wish I had a parenting calculator to arrive at the answer … [Read more...]

How Parenting Can Be A Lot Like The Hunger Games

January 20, 2016 by Alison Tedford 3 Comments

Parenting can be riveting and entertaining. Just like in the Hunger Games, there are parts that make you cheer aloud and parts that make you gasp in horror. It's edge of your seat every day and it can feel like an epic saga. In the beginning, deciding who is going to get up in the middle of the … [Read more...]

Raising An Eight-Year-Old Boy With A Smile

January 13, 2016 by Alison Tedford 1 Comment

My kid keeps me in stitches. I have never laughed so hard in my entire life as I have since I became a mom. This is why they are so awesome. Eight-year-olds are like sponges for information. Sometimes you need someone around who will give you a billion random facts about bamboo sharks but who … [Read more...]

Ten Random Freak Outs Of A First Time Mom

September 9, 2015 by Alison Tedford 3 Comments

new parents, what to expect with a new baby, parenting humour

My little boy is seven now, but I remember bringing him home like it was yesterday. I remember the jitters and anxiety of being a first time mom. It’s natural to worry. You are venturing into uncharted territory and it’s hard to know what is normal and what is cause for legitimate concern. You end … [Read more...]

That’s Not My Name

June 24, 2015 by Alison Tedford 2 Comments

I can relate to that little ditty by the Ting Tings "That's not my name". Since I've become a mom, I don't know who the heck I am. Not just in a morning coffee, my Starbucks cup rarely reflects my true identity kind of way. It's a form of suburban witness protection, I guess. I get extra L's, Y's, … [Read more...]

Where’s My Mother Of The Year Award?

February 25, 2015 by Alison Tedford 4 Comments

It’s award show season and I’m just a teeny bit fed up of the red carpet. Maybe I’m just jealous because mine is only red in splotches from fruit punch. Maybe I’m waiting on my Mother of the Year award, like Susan Lucci and her Emmy all those years ago. It will probably take me 18 years to win that … [Read more...]
