Who here got a push present? Don’t nod your head or raise your hand. Step up and leave a comment telling me what you got. Why? BECAUSE I DIDN’T GET ONE and now I am pissed. (And yes, my kids are 2 and 4….I’m still pissed. There’s no deadline on those sorts of things.) The […]
I WANT TO EAT AT MOM’S FOR MOTHER’S DAY
The fallacy of a holiday known as “Mother’s Day” is coming up. I say fallacy because my husband has never done anything to celebrate my role in bringing children into our lives….although I am not sure if that is because he doesn’t do holidays or because the kids are a giant gift that keeps on […]
LETTING GO AT THE DAYCARE
Just in case this is the first Nomad Mom post you have ever read, I’ll let you in on a little secret: my kids drive me nuts. Phew, glad that is out of the way. So it should come as no surprise to you that my kids go to daycare four days per week. I […]

Yesterday evening I was driving my almost four year old home from dance class. For perhaps the second time ever, she had given me permission to play “mommy music” in the car. We were rolling along rocking out to the radio when a pop culture phenomenon came on the radio. One minute into the song […]
MY KID’S PURSE
