My Dream Girl

February 14, 2010 by Carla

Carla: At the risk of sending you away and you never coming back, let me introduce you to the Pioneer Woman. Now some of you are probably already  well-aquainted with the lovely Ree Drummond and her highly funny, beautiful, endlessly entertaining presence on the Interwebs. But if you’re not, go meet her. Just please come […]

Obama’s Fatherhood Cop-Out

February 1, 2010 by Caryn

Caryn: Carla you’re going to be so mad at me. Because after months of being too swamped or lazy to start a post myself, it took our president’s foolish words to get me writing.

January 28, 2010 by Carla

Stupid Stupid

January 4, 2010 by Caryn

Caryn: I’ve written before about me not being a good mom. At least, not in the sense of being the sort of mom to whom others look for guidance or advice or wisdom. I’m a good mom in that I love my kids and am snuggling a crabby two-year-old on my lap as I type and […]
