Just Say NO! Yes, I’m Talking To All The People Pleasers

January 19, 2017 by lizfenton Leave a Comment

Repeat after me: Just say no. Just say no. Just say no. I'm not sure when I realized that I was a total people pleaser. It might have been in second grade when I became the teacher's pet. Or maybe in college when I just couldn't stand to have anybody be angry with me. Or when, after overextending myself AGAIN recently, my husband informed me that it was time to become friends … [Read more...] about Just Say NO! Yes, I’m Talking To All The People Pleasers

Potty Training Pearls of Wisdom

August 25, 2016 by lizfenton Leave a Comment

People that know me well will tell you that I'm not a scaredy cat by nature. In fact, I laugh in the face of danger! Okay, so maybe I don't laugh at it, but I will snicker at it occasionally. But I must admit there are a few things that strike fear in my heart. Things that are so horrible that I get a shiver down my spine just thinking of them. Things like bad bikini waxes … [Read more...] about Potty Training Pearls of Wisdom

Girls’ Night Out – Mommy Needs MeTime Too

Three beautiful words that always seem to light up the faces of whoever utters them. Back in the day, it meant putting on your favorite pair of Seven jeans and going on the prowl for Mr. Right-dancing the night away at your favorite club and eating Jack in the Box at three in the morning. And when I did find Mr. Right, I was so smitten that I was willing to gain seventy … [Read more...] about Girls’ Night Out – Mommy Needs MeTime Too

Why Daddy Always Gets to be the Good Guy

September 26, 2014 by lizfenton Leave a Comment

Today, I'm going to be bitching discussing how gender roles come into play when parenting. Or in simpler terms, Why Daddy always gets to be the good guy. I've always known that my husband was higher up on the fun-o-meter than me. His willingness to act as a human submarine in the pool and ability to hold the children on his shoulders for hours were constant reminders. And … [Read more...] about Why Daddy Always Gets to be the Good Guy

I’ll Screw Up My Kids No Matter How Hard I Try…

September 4, 2014 by lizfenton Leave a Comment

I can't tell you how many times I repeated that phrase to my four-year old while visiting my Mom this past weekend. Swimming nonstop for 6 hours straight combined with the fact that I overcooked her mac and cheese and forgot to pack her favorite Hello Kitty underwear really sent her over the edge. And I didn't miss the small smile forming on my mother's lips as she watched Miss … [Read more...] about I’ll Screw Up My Kids No Matter How Hard I Try…
