May 2008 - Pittsburgh Mom

Sort By: Most Recent | Most Viewed | Most Commented

  • Division of labor

    Let me start with a little story. Two nights ago I was “complaining” that I am in a constant state of laundry these days. It’s never completely done. It’s either in the basket waiting to be washed, in the washer waiting to be dried...

  • I think I have to resign

    I’m clearly not qualified in ANY fashion to run a Mom’s website and blog. I’m not sure I’m qualified to raise my own children. But, the Mother of the Year award is being overnighted to my house right this minute, so at least I’ll...

  • Find of the week

    Flip Video Camera by Pure Digital I’m totally head over heels in love with my video camera. Everyone must have one. We have one of the bigger, clunkier cameras that we used to use to record special moments in the kids’ lives (first steps,...

  • Find of the week - Flip Video

    Flip Video Camera by Pure Digital I’m totally head over heels in love with my video camera. Everyone must have one. We have one of the bigger, clunkier cameras that we used to use to record special moments in the kids’ lives (first steps,...

  • Because I said so

    Before I ever had children I always thought I didn’t want to be the kind of mom that says “Because I said so” for no good reason. I do believe that parents should have ultimate veto power and shouldn’t have to always give a reason...

  • Weary Pittsburgh Mom tip

    Here’s a Pittsburgh Mom Tip for you. The zoo. A beautiful Friday in May. Good idea, right? Wrong. We love the zoo, we really do. We have a membership and everything. But not on a Friday in May. Don’t do it. Just don’t. Trust me. 9.000...

  • Splash Lagoon for the under 5 set

    As I mentioned, we spent a night at Splash Lagoon last weekend. We got a great deal on a Sunday night (Sundays seem to be the cheapest and fall and spring seem to be their “off season”). There are four hotels affiliated with SL. Three of them...

  • First and best friends

    I’ve always wanted a daughter. I always thought I’d have a boy and a girl, just like my family. Boy first, girl second. I won’t lie, I was a bit crushed when I found out I was having a second boy. We knew we only wanted two children...

  • Teaching babies to swim

    I saw the most fascinating piece on The Today Show yesterday about teaching drowning prevention in young children. They can actually teach little babies how to swim, as you can see in the video. Our newest swimming class is just Matthew (almost 3) and...

  • Recovery

    Sorry I’ve been out of touch. We had a busy, busy weekend. So the past few days we’ve been recovering. It really is true that you need a vacation from a vacation. I also started my summer home with the kids this week, so I haven’t had...

  • But let ME ask some questions

    I have a cool job. I really do. Not only do I get summers off (and a month at Christmas!) but I get to do some cool things for “work”. A month or so ago I got to me Chelsea Clinton. I was literally two feet from her, which was pretty cool...

  • Ask me no questions

    Ask me no questions and I’ll tell you no lies. As I was filling up at the pump the other day, I had some time to think. (I have a big tank). As I watched the dollars tick away (and away and away) and I was busy answering the “Do you want a...

  • Pittsburgh Mom quick contest winner announced!

    I’m pleased to announce the winner of our first ever contest!! The question was “What is the most unusual item currently making a home in your purse” We got some great entries. Some of our favorites included a pink maraca, a half-used...

  • I'm sick

    I’m sick. Scratch that. Of course I’m not sick, moms can’t get sick. It’s against the rules. I *am* sick. In an alternate universe. One where my children went to bed early and slept all night so I could get a good night’s...

  • Puppet master

    Today was our first day of swimming lessons. It didn’t go swimmingly. If you remember, I took a chance and enrolled Matthew in the 3-5 year old class, even though he won’t be 3 until June. But he’s so comfortable in the water, and I...
