When Other People's Kids Are Sad
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Family on Tuesday, December 20, 2011
This afternoon, my teenager Adam and I found ourselves in a busy discount store surrounded by holiday shoppers. The atmosphere was tense, made worse by large crowds and loud Christmas music. My greatest desire was to “get out of here ASAP”, but I ended up waiting for my Adam for a few moments in a crazy section of the store.
As I stood doing mental exercises to keep myself calm, I spotted not one... READ MORE

Parenting Pitfalls
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, December 14, 2011
This afternoon, in that challenging haze that is the hour before dinner, I had one of the most outrageous 30-minute spans of mothering in recent history.
It was the perfect storm (isn’t it always!) of me feeling overwhelmed and someone being grumpy and someone else getting into mischief and a fourth party not wanting to deal with the task at hand (and not handling that well, not at all). Throw into... READ MORE

Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, December 07, 2011
Our kids have too many toys.
If I were writing this on Twitter, I’d wryly label it #firstworldproblems, but the good fortune of our situation does not change the spreading-all-over-the-house, making-Mama-crazy aspect of it. There are too many toys.
Recent ruthless culling has returned our playroom to a manageable state, with a few age-inappropriate things stored and many many items sent to the donation... READ MORE
Babies Up!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, December 06, 2011
Our twin babies were six months old in November, and we celebrated. Half a year. We’ve made it half a year. Phew.
(We figure with two babies, we’ve done a full baby-year, so six months is like a first birthday in those terms.)
What’s even more exciting than our babies being six months is what they’ve newly started doing.
See that picture? It’s Linus on the left, Ambrose on the right, both of them... READ MORE
