No Germs Beyond This Point

ACA0BDEB-A68A-4C28-894A-7E451BCDBD10

In our house, we have no germs. I know what you’re thinking. “How is that possible? You have two kids!” First, I resent the implication that kids are germ-infested creatures.

4971B6CD-6040-4FE6-BCF4-0E4580B6DA33

I feel an important obligation to interrupt my usual commentary and present you with this treatise written by a proactive Walmart worker. She handed it to me after she finished loading 8 giant tubs of oatmeal into my trunk. I told her I was making cookies. She didn’t believe me. Whatever your reason for going […]

Total Eclipse of My Life (Frozen 2 Spoiler)

4787188B-7616-456E-9A78-4DA21CD5DBA7

During my formative years, my dad put in a valiant effort to make me a well-rounded music connoisseur. Variety streamed from anything with speakers, from They Might Be Giants to Led Zeppelin. My siblings and I knew well that triangle man hated particle man, and all that glitters is gold. My mom did her best […]

“I Miss Smelling Our Neighbor’s Indian Food”…and Other Regrets About Leaving Our Apartment

E8B7E1C3-7824-4FA9-8A00-D377F5D01EAE

As a writer, I’ve always believed in the importance of journaling. For the sake of posterity, I try to record as much as I can about our lives. In today’s case, I am impressed to make a record of a love lost: the apartment we said goodbye to this month. I am deeply depressed to […]

A Tribute to the Man who Invented the Alarm Clock

2E60397F-C86E-4985-8BA6-F8A0768E43C2

We all know the names Orville and Wilbur Wright, Thomas Edison, and Milton Hershey. Each talented inventor played a monumental role in establishing necessities of life as we know it. But could any of us name the man who invented the beautiful bell that wakes us up every morning? Just this week my husband neglected […]

Mama’s Day Out at the DMV

F4FFA2D6-CEC8-40E7-B955-3977479E5FC7

I’ll make this short and sweet, like my experience at the DMV. But my soul can’t rest until I share with my fellow moms my recommendation for the DMV as your next destination when you need a break. Consider this. When one of your oldest kids is sick, another is a threenager, and twins popped […]

After the Final Rose: 6 Ways The Bachelorette is Like Medical Life

C5BCFC93-77E1-4C13-9F50-6634E5C34295

***Spoiler Alert!*** The Bachelorette is widely accepted as one of the most wholesome and intellectually stimulating programs in television. Unfortunately, I spent most of my life ignorantly opposing it, as if I had any better way to spend my time. It wasn’t until medical school, in the depths of my total loneliness, that I stumbled […]
