demi moore
I admit it. Though I don’t like to, I read the article about Demi and Ashton and I read the whole thing. I read about all the messiness of their life and I wondered how I was sitting at the orthodontist waiting for my children to get more metal put inside their mouths when I […]
Getting the Job Done: Women and Work Life
October 12, 2011 by Miriam Novogrodsky
Women are good at compartmentalizing, juggling, balancing and yeah, bringing home the bacon. Well, some women. I have orange sticky notes all over my desk outlining each day otherwise I’d stop somewhere after walking my dog, Orli. Actually, after walking Orli and drinking crazy strong tea with Gail. See, it seems to me that after Gail […]
Sex After Pregnancy: AKA My Postpartum Booty Call
October 10, 2011 by Miriam Novogrodsky
Guest Post By Andrea Chisholm I will never forget the sloppy red crayon heart drawn around the date of my six-week postpartum visit. Did he really think I was looking forward to “medical clearance” for the bedroom? Wasn’t he there in the delivery room? Hadn’t he witnessed the destruction? Why hadn’t he given any of […]
Birth Order And Personality–I’m The Oldest Child & What Does It Mean?
September 27, 2011 by Hayley Krischer
I have one sibling. He’s about a year and a half younger than me. When we were younger, I was the dominant older sister. Peirced his ear. Told him he was adopted. Made him eat goop. All that shit. As we’ve gotten older, the roles between us have shifted. We give each other advice. We […]
Ask Miri: My Husband Lied and My Anxiety Is Killing Me
September 26, 2011 by Hayley Krischer
Dear Miri, I’m glad I found this blog. I hope you can shed some honest light for me and perhaps help me with a problem. I’m a married 30-something with 2 kids. Pretty cliché life right now, working full-time, running kids around, very busy, etc. My husband and I got married when I was pregnant […]

September 23, 2011 by Hayley Krischer
1. Thelma does her research. So she’s only eternally Thelma in our minds, but according to Geena Davis’s Institute on Gender Media, women aren’t doing much of anything in movies today except … getting barefoot and pregnant. According to Mashable: In her research, Davis found that most of the women portrayed in mainstream, family-friendly media […]
Cheating in a Marriage: Is Monogamy Impossible?
September 19, 2011 by Hayley Krischer
In more news about your cheatin’ heart—or his, is more like it—moral majority and Gwyneth Paltrow announced last week in an interview that you don’t have to worry about a cheating husband because, like, everyone’s doing it. Says the Goopess: “Life is complicated and long and I know people that I respect and admire and […]
My Ex Called Our Daugher A Bitch, But He Was Kidding
August 26, 2011 by Miriam Novogrodsky
My ex-husband called our daughter a bitch. My suspicions that he harbored misogynistic tendencies were confirmed. Confirmed because calling one’s ex a bitch, while unnecessary and immature, does not a full-on jerk make. Calling a 14-year-old girl a bitch? That, a jerk makes. Name calling is a parenting no-no.I am sure that before our daughter turned […]
That Woman Was At My Wedding; But I’m Not Going to Say Hello
August 3, 2011 by Miriam Novogrodsky
Remember the people you invited to your wedding, how important and relevant they were? They don’t all stay relevant and important. I think this is great news. It’s a testament to the fact that we change and grow and continue to re-access our relationships. My sister was getting her hair colored. She does, about three times […]
A PMS Newsletter For Men & Ovulation Complaints: Rants From The Dark Side
July 12, 2011 by Hayley Krischer
The other day, my husband said: “Uh, what’s this email that I’m getting about your menstural cycle? You’re ovulating right now, I take it?” After a particularly bad month–cramps, fiery temper, deciding that I was going to move to a hotel permanently–I signed Andy up for a online newsletter, The Daily Cramp , that informed […]
