June 2008 - Pittsburgh Mom

  • Helicopter parents

    Do you know what a helicopter sounds like? Something like this: “Hi Heather! It’s Mrs. Helicopter. My daughter, Suzie, called to tell me has the hiccups. Can you make sure that she’s ok?” “Hi Heather! It’s Mrs. Helicopter...
  • Juggling act

    Life is a real juggling act this week, which is why I’ve been rather silent. Once a year I am in charge of a high school journalism workshop here at the University. We spend Sunday through Friday with 37 talented young people from around the country...
  • I am a Mom - three years and counting

    Happy Birthday sweet Matthew Three years ago today I became a mother. It was the best day of my life (well, except for the whole pain thing and all). I can’t even put into words what it means to be a mother. I’m not the best mother in the...
  • You can go home again

    And you should. This weekend I had the pleasure of going to my hometown with Mike and the kids. It’s always such a treat to go home. Not only do my parents and brother/sister-in-law/their kids live there, but I know just about everyone we run into...
  • Birthday offers

    Matthew’s 3rd birthday is quickly approaching (Thursday) and I’ve already received a Toys-r-Us coupon, a free gift coupon from Kidgits club at Ross Park Mall, a free “birthday burger” at Red Robin coupon and a free dessert coupon...
  • Life giving you lemons? Make (hard) lemonade

    I had kind of an annoying day. Not a bad day by any means. Just not the best day with my kids. Lots of little annoying things that had me on the edge of losing it many times. I’m trying to be all Zen about life lately. So I’m making it a challenge...
  • I've died and gone to fashion heaven

    I’m loving this new fashion world. All the blousy shirts and moo moo dresses, they’re right up my alley. (They’re called Maxi dresses I’ve learned). I bought this little number at Target today (it looks much better in person, trust...
  • Chicago on 36 hours or less

    As I mentioned, the hubby and I jetted off to Chicago for the weekend. It was a whirlwind trip because my mom only had a couple of days available to watch the boys. We flew out at 6 a.m. on Friday and flew home at 11 p.m. on Saturday. That gave us two...
  • Six years of wedded bliss

    You buyin’ that? You should. Today is our 6th anniversary and I couldn’t be happier with my choice in a husband and our life together. Sure he forgets to pick up his shoes. Sure he has to be “told” to give the kids a bath. That’s...
  • 4 a.m.

    That’s what time I was up this morning. No, it wasn’t a bootie call (or “night terror” as my friend L likes to call them), and it wasn’t one of the kids. It was our wake up call from the hotel by the airport where we spent...
  • The Ped Egg - Not all it’s “cracked” up to be

    I’ve been hearing such buzz about the PedEgg. Everyone that has one raves about it. At home pedicures! Never need to go to a salon again! Watch the video on the official PedEgg site to see how it works. My first thought is “what!?! no more...
  • Stay at home mom salary: $117,000

    CNN reports that according a study released recently by Salary.com, the annual salary for a stay at home mom would be almost $117,000. “The biggest driver of a mom’s theoretical salary is the amount of overtime pay she’d receive for...
  • Sex and the city

    I went to see SATC this weekend with some amazing friends. The same group of friends that helped me with the creation of PittsburghMom actually. It was the first time that the four of us have all sat in the same room together, physically, and yet it seemed...
