http://notaboutbaby.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
It's Not About the Baby. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Dropping the Bomb, aka “What the Fu*ck is Wrong with You? I know a lot of moms. Some of them are friends from my hometown, others are coworkers, some are classmates, and still others are clients. Lately, I’ve been observing a certain common mom denominator that seems to reach easily across all socioeconomic, racial, religious, and geographic boundaries. 8220;S., your boys are so cute! 8220;Little fuckers.”. Who coincidentally is operating in the 98% goodn...

It's Not About the Baby. Tuesday, May 24, 2011. Cover Girl Culture: Who Wants to Be a Supermodel? 8220;I didn't eat yesterday. And I'm not going to eat today. And I'm not going to eat tomorrow. Cuz I'm going to be a supermodel! 8217; This issue must be on a lot of mom’s minds, because it was the most traffic I’ve ever had on my site. As a result of the piece, I was sent a copy of. A documentary addressing the world of fashion, modeling, advertising, and their impact on tween and teen girls. The notes I s...

It's Not About the Baby: My One and Only
http://notaboutbaby.blogspot.com/2010/08/my-one-and-only.html
It's Not About the Baby. Friday, August 20, 2010. My One and Only. There is a pressing issue I'd like to discuss with the legions of baby pushers out there, and it is this: only children. Since when is it appropriate to approach a complete stranger on the street, paw at their adorable two year old, and demand to know when more offspring are forthcoming? This happens to me on a regular basis, not to mention the assault by well-meaning coworkers, family members, and friends. In a 2008 commentary. Look forw...

It's Not About the Baby: Look Out Sprout, Time to Begin
http://notaboutbaby.blogspot.com/2011/04/look-out-sprout-time-to-begin.html
It's Not About the Baby. Sunday, April 17, 2011. Look Out Sprout, Time to Begin. Spring. March, being my least favorite month of the year, brings with it one bright spot. While the northeast snowstorms and first rays of late sunshine battle it out, I am scouring my favorite seed catalog. I’m pulling out last year’s seeds, counting the folded and battered envelopes containing any overflow from the previous season. What do I need? What do I want? What new things can I try? L 'helping' in last year's garden.

It's Not About the Baby: Not so Funny: Old Mama, Sexy Babies
http://notaboutbaby.blogspot.com/2011/04/not-so-funny-old-mama-sexy-babies.html
It's Not About the Baby. Sunday, April 3, 2011. Not so Funny: Old Mama, Sexy Babies. Lately I’ve really been struggling with a nagging idea that I might be getting … old. I’m not suggesting that I’m elderly or that it’s all over or anything silly like that. But evidence suggests that I may at least be approaching old-ish. Mom old. On my personal information. Feeling pretty chuffed, I repeated this story to some girlfriends, only to have one of them say, “Ha! Cause I may be bad
. Sex in the air
. Seriousl...

It's Not About the Baby. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Only’s Not So Lonely. Soooit's been a busy summer. Which means that my 10 dedicated readers may. Have noticed that I've not posted a blog in three months. To kinda-sorta end the streak, I'm posting a piece, but it was written by my girlfriend and mommy blogger at large, Katie. She was kind enough to invite me to take up space on her blog. Penny and I have known each other for years. You’ll find my blog:. For everything they’re worth. Six people, sibling...

It's Not About the Baby. Monday, August 30, 2010. A Little Early for Soul Searching. It's now a mere three entries into this over-sharing of my life that was supposed to be a fun, snarky, rant-fest in which I get to rag on people who aren't like me. So it's a little early, nay, way early, to insert a 'what does it all mean? Piece But I'm on my way home from a week away, jammed in a plane with 150 other weary travelers, and I am sitting here thinking, "Shit. What am I doing? I just spent a weekend getting...

It's Not About the Baby: A Postpartum Mother's Day: Ah, the Memories
http://notaboutbaby.blogspot.com/2011/05/postpartum-mothers-day-ah-memories.html
It's Not About the Baby. Sunday, May 8, 2011. A Postpartum Mother's Day: Ah, the Memories. On this, my fourth Mother’s Day, I can’t help but reflect back on my first Mother’s Day with a snort. To be fair, I was a mere seven weeks postpartum and still dealing with a raging case of postpartum crazies, so there was no way it was going to end well. (Remind me to tell you about the postpartum crazies some other time.). At the appointed time, we all got dolled up and headed to my parents house for a photo shoo...
