Between the "Shit my [some person of some culture or ethnicity] says" videos and all quotes in my Twitter and Facebook feeds, I was about to pop my lid. Do we really care about "Shit m...
My sons first baseball season has come to an end. At least I thought it had and then there were playoffs. For 5 & 6 year old coach-pitched teams. Seriously? Even though the kids lost miserably, t...
Note: Okay, so as Ive upped my dosage of the medication Viibryd, Ive noticed a few side effects that Im not keen on that I want to share with you. Im definitely having stomach issues when I take the ...
Look familiar? 50 Shades of Toy Story (click for more photos)
"Does she do this stuff with you?" my husband asked me, Bridget sprawled out, snuggling with him on his chest as he laid on the floor. "Nope." I said. He seemed surprised. He alwa...
So since Tuesday, my Internet has been down, my husband has been on two trips, I peed myself at my sons baseball game, and Time magazine decided to blow up the world. If only Einstein had figured out...
Between hormones and lack of sleep, I have about one good week of normal mood patterns. And by normal I mean bearable. Barely. And thats if Im exercising regularly, eating well, and not alone with my...
The "V" at this party wasnt for Versace Happy V-Day to me! {P.S. Thanks to @LOD for coining "Vercrotche." Youre going places, Doug. Heh} {P.P.S. Yes, it really is the 7th annivers...
For eight years Ive tried my best to make sense of being a parent. Deciphering secret codes, following unwritten rules. Searching for instruction manuals that just dont exist no matter how hard we lo...
Awhile back I wrote a post about how we all judge other moms. Were human after all. At least, I am, anyway, and while some of us dont have as many parenting dealbreakers than others of us, Im pretty ...
Maybe its because Im more informed and connected than I ever was as a young 20-something student, attending a mostly-female, mostly-white college. It probably wasnt as mostly-straight as I thought at...
Ive done plenty of oversharing when it comes to the post-partum vagina. In fact, Im the #1 natural Google Search for "post partum vagina." My mom would be so proud. I admit Ive expressed my...
It only took me four kids to realize that my kids would be better off if I gave myself the same time and attention I give them. Of course, thats never actually going to happen. There are always piles...
As much as Im tempted to dole out advice to newbie parents, and oh yes, I am mightily tempted, I do my best to hold my tongue. I wish I could say the same about my mother-in-law. I mean, I totally un...
Im pretty sure social media has made me a shitty listener. Perhaps even a little socially awkward. I am in the business of oversharing, though quite tempered (contrary to popular belief). And I spend...
I was surprised to hear President Obama weigh in on the relit Mommy Wars flame after the controversial statements by Hilary Rosen in regards to Ann Romney. But after thinking about it a little, I kin...
With little ones, you parent to every milestone. The first tooth. The first tantrum. Theirs and yours. Each day, sometimes even each hour, marks an accomplishment. Success is marked by survival, by k...
So you knew that theyd launch The Kristen Chase Show with the in-laws, right? However, unlike my general venting and ranting about them, youll get real life helpful tips from author and columnist And...
Playing the Hunger Games with my kids at every meal means that my own tend to get sacrificed. I eat sporadically throughout the day but but then end up so utterly famished by dinner time that I just ...
With all this Hunger Games hype, I feel pretty late to the party, considering the last book I read was "Bossypants." As an audio book. For the record, I did download The Hunger Games trilog...
So when the cool folks at Cafemom asked me if Id like to try my hand at hosting a talk show on their new YouTube channel, I said "Do I get to shit without being interrupted by nosy children?&quo...
"I only wanted to play so I could be like you," she told me, through her sobs. Every violin practice for the last month has ended in tears. Hers and mine. She asked to take lessons a couple...
By now, youd think I know that the last thing I should do on the start of a near 10-day single parenting stint with four kids is reorganize my entire house. Especially when the only babysitter Ive go...
I realize that as much time I spend with men, there are many aspects of their behavior I will always find mysterious. The ball grabbing. Because they might just disappear without you knowing! The hal...
This weekend at Dad 2.0 Summit I saw a lot of dudes. A lot. I survived conversations about the undercarriage (aka Gootch - who knew?), balls (holy ball talk, yall), and dolphin penis. I listened to H...
No one wants to hear a thin person talk about weight. And I get it. My fat is someone elses skinny. The size eight Im trying to shrink out of is the one youre dying to fit into. We swallow the fat jo...
When I heard the news that Snooki of Jersey Shore fame was pregnant, I was hoping it was just tabloid gossip. That the pooch in her too-short-too-tight ensemble was from too many soft pretzels and bo...
Of the many joys I experience living in the suburbs, I savor the privilege of getting up in arms about important life issues the most. Like the HOA, who will actually take the time to inform you with...
As much as I can turn the other cheek at a glimpse of a slender four-week post partum Beyonce, its the design blogs that always do me in. A few craft projects, a couple of yummy recipes, and a perfec...
Yesterday I accidentally spelled "behavior" with a "u" but then realized that maybe it wasnt an accident. Maybe Im actually Canadian and I dont know it. And after thinking about i...
