Hellooooo out there! Pretend it hasn't been an entire year since I last posted here ( 😬 ) and allow me to reintroduce you to the blog that brought many of you here in the first place — now with actual new content! fightingfrumpy.com/2024/10/i-want…
If you think teenagers are "too old" to trick-or-treat ... read this. sheknows.com/parenting/arti…
I'm so excited about @SheKnows latest digital issue — all about teens and back-to-school! Featuring essays from the amazing @ElaineRothWrite and @WhiteBrownSugar 😍 sheknows.com/special-series…
Jerry Springer died and I’m shook and everyone at work is younger than me so they can’t fully appreciate that “Jer-ry, Jer-ry, Jer-ry” was the soundtrack of my youth.
It’s hard to drive by cows without pointing and saying, “Cows.”
Seriously, where was this when I was a self-conscious teenager?! sheknows.com/parenting/arti…
I'm SO proud of the hard work that went into this issue! Stellar writing from @ElaineRothWrite, @theneonblonde, @WendyWisner, @E_Beardmore, @alexa_kellow, and more! A wonderful cover story featuring THE @tamronhall! Such an amazing job from the entire @SheKnows team. <3

Michigan does not: Require background checks for long guns Have a red flag law Disarm domestic abusers Restrict assault weapons Limit magazine capacity Regulate open carry #michiganstate
Pro tip: Schedule your annual gyno exam as close to Valentine’s Day as possible so you can knock ‘em both out with one good shave. #worksmarternotharder
Our newest @SheKnows Hatch video where we ask teens about their parents using social media only confirms that I am, in fact, as uncool as my teens think I am. sheknows.com/parenting/vide…
If you can’t fathom how one pair of dirty socks tossed onto a heater vent can possibly stink up an entire room, you’ve never had a teenage boy. 🤢 #teenagers
My latest! ❤️
Just over here ugly-crying at the news of Noodle the Pug’s passing. As a “pug parent” myself, he never failed to make me smile with his typical pug antics (IYKYK!). @jongraz , thanks for sharing him with the world. ❤️
SO unbelievably proud of the entire @SheKnows team and our amazing contributors (@LaurenWellbank @ElaineRothWrite @WhiteBrownSugar) for pulling off this gorgeous holiday issue! Tons of good stuff in here — read and enjoy!

Pumpkin arrangement on my porch, full-on Christmas wonderland as soon as you step in the door. My seasonal decor is like a mullet type of situation.
If decorating for Christmas while there’s still a bowl of Halloween candy on your counter is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right. 🎄
This will forever be one of my favorite videos on the whole entire Internet. 😂
This will forever be one of my favorite videos on the whole entire Internet. 😂
Anybody else’s kid decide THIS MORNING that they wanna dress in costume for school today but NOT in their actual Halloween costume? 😒
I’m trying hard to drink more water because I hate drinking water and I’m chronically dehydrated … but there’s SO MUCH PEEING. 😩
