Oskarisms

My 4yo son has this amazing memory. Basically he remembers everything he hears and all that goes on around him and has since he was about two. This can often be rather cute, but it can also be a bit ...

A Letter to Angus

You are my second child. You were supposed to be my last. But life doesn't always go as planned. The potential injustice of life is something you learned at a very young 10 months old. That is when I became pregnant ...

Left Eye

It is always my left eye that betrays me. That traitorous eye can never make the cut and always reveals me for what I am but hate to be: An emotional and sentimental woman who can't help but well up ...

He Wasn't That Sick Huh?

You’re Just a Crazy Mommy

It was Sunday afternoon and my 11 -Month-Old was not doing so well. His breathing was shallow, he was lethargic and he was way too sleepy. So, I scooped him up and hauled him off to the Walk-In-Clinic at our ...

I Don’t Want to be Anne Geddes

Child-by-Anne-Geddes-141

Yeah so I haven’t written a post lately. Actually I need to be more accurate, I haven’t published a post lately. I have written a few that sat then died in my draft folder. Why didn’t I publish them you ask? Well the basic answer is… they were annoying. After I wrote them I went back and I read them and they made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. You know when you find yourself that gross and annoying it is likely that you could cause a case of the full on heaves in a reader. So read more…

WTF Is That!?!?

restroom

In an attempt to motivate our 2yo to potty train, we recently started to put our 8mo on the potty. I can’t say who had the genius idea – I would like to say it was me because well let’s face it, I rock… but I can’t actually be sure so I have to be honest and say, there is a chance my hubby did it first. But then again, who freakin cares because it is working!! Like really working. I don’t know if she is just brilliant (probably) or if we have just been lucky for the last 4 read more…

The 7 Year Itch?

seven_year_itch wide

This weekend I celebrated my 7th anniversary with my husband and it had me thinking about that 7 year itch and I figured it might be fun to interview my hubby and ask him about that itch among other things. So here it goes… Me: Hi, I’m the Modish Mama. You might remember from such smash hits like: The Birth of Your First Child, The Birth of Your Second Child or The Birth of Your Third Child. Hubby: *Blank Stare, zero recognition* Me: Ummmm. *face going red * Well you know how you sleep on the right-hand side of the read more…

Jinx

The Best Dog Ever

A few days ago I posted this on my Facebook: It sounds cheesy but I love my life. I am very very lucky. Right after I wrote it I thought, uh oh I shouldn’t have done that. I knew right away I had totally jinxed myself. It isn’t that it’s not true because it is. I seriously have the best life anyone could ever ask for but, writing that down might have been like saying: hey universe I’m happy over here maybe you should come and fuck everything up just because you can! I am sure it is not just read more…

A Letter to a Stranger: Nathan Kotylak

To Nathan Kotylak, You don’t know me Nathan. We have never met and likely will never meet, but due to recent events, I know a good deal about you. I know that you come from what would be considered a good family; you attend a prestigious school, your father is a doctor and you live in a nice home. You are an athlete with future Olympic goals and unfortunately, after last Wednesday night, you are also a rioter. I saw the picture of you trying to set fire to a police car on a blog dedicated to Public Shaming and read more…
