As a college graduate who many years ago left an ivy-covered liberal arts institution with a philosophy degree in hand, I thought I knew everything. Throughout my twenties and thirties I worked for media companies that targeted the mom market; TV networks, websites and print publishers with products and content focused on parenting. In those days I thought I knew everything about moms.  Read more >

An Election Day Fix

I believe that there is a critical flaw in the election day polling system. And I think that if it were fixed, more parents would get their vote on. I'm talking about the standard practice of closing schools on Election Day, forcing millions of parents to bring their school-aged kids to the polls with them. When I bring my boys out in public there's about a 97% chance that they will misbehave, which brings on unwanted attention, embarrassment and frustration.  Read more >

Our Parenting Priorities Are Out of Whack

Hand washing

My husband's parenting priorities are totally out of sync with my own. When it comes to parenting our boys (ages five and seven), my huz, "E," focuses his efforts on two things: personal hygiene and sibling bickering. Examples: E has a Zero Tolerance policy when it comes to bickering and fighting. If the boys are playing Super Mario Whatever on the Wii, and someone's character powers up with someone else's magic whatever, the boys will fight. If E is around he will enforce the Zero Tolerance policy with an iron fist. Arguing over a Wii game? No Wii for one week!  Read more >

About Me: 

I'm a WAHM who freelances in marketing communications by day and blogs by night at take2mommy.com.  I'm fortified by wine, vegetarian food, good books and family travel. I live in the New York City area.

When I'm not working or blogging you'll find me engaged in typical mom stuff, like carting my boys (ages 5 and 7) to sports practices and games, attending PTA meetings and helping my kids' schools any way I can.

We have an energetic, super-excitable mutt we got from a shelter named Maisy and a kitten we recently adopted from the shelter named Molly. If I had my way, our house would be overflowing with pets. But DH doesn't quite share my enthusiasm for living as one with the animal kingdom...

I blog because I love to write and because I want to preserve the stories, photos and memories of life. When I started this blog I had no idea that there were literally millions of mom bloggers already out there! I've really enjoyed connecting with so many of them. I could read their blogs all day :)
