Is Twitter the New Blog?

I'm over at the Jersey Moms Blog today discussing my ever-growing fascination with The Twitter.

Also, I'm considering transferring my obsessive-online-compulsions over to Quora. Any one been there, done that and know whether I should too?

PS If you're on Twitter follow me @RandomHandprint! I follow back!

Really Helpful Tips for Wives and Mothers #3: How to Survive School Vacation Week with Your Kids

This week my Really Helpful Tips for Wives and Mothers has five ideas to help you survive school vacation week with your kids. These ideas may be particularly helpful to those of you enjoying the week with extra, bonus snow! Click on over to the JerseyMomsBlog to read What to do with your kids on school vacation week. With a pile of snow.

And please, if you have any ideas about what to do with the kids leave a comment and let me know.  It's Wednesday, and I've done everything I can think of short of letting the kids cover the baby in glue, roll him around in a pile of glitter and put him in a tutu and wings, so he'll look (as they put it) just like a real-life fairy! By Friday, I may not have any other options, so please help.  If not for me, for Ziggy, who I'm pretty sure doesn't want to be a fairy, even a real-life looking one.

Happy Vacation!

Driving, Driving, Driving - A Tale of My Mommy-mobile and Me

All actual stuff I removed from my car.

My latest post at the Jersey Moms Blog is all about my beloved Mom Ride. It started out the paradigm of a Clean Machine and now.... well, let's just say it's a Mommy-mobile and leave it at that.  You can read more here.

What about you? Do you drive a hot mess or a clean dream?  And do you let your kids eat in the car?

Halloween

Halloween used to be one of my favorite holidays, but lately I'm not so sure if I love it or hate it. It used to be the most laid-back and easy-going of holidays, and with extra bonus candy! What's not to like? Lately though, I feel like this it's been totally Christmas-ized and super-sized, and I'm not buying it - and by it I mean the decorations, the costumes and the special over-priced Just for Halloween candy.

You can read me complaining some more in New Halloween: You're Giving Me a Headache on the Jersey Moms Blog.

How 'bout you - do you love Halloween? Should I find something else to complain about?

Jersey-fication Complete!

Today I am making my transformation to Jersey Mom official. The (now defunct) NYC Moms Blog button is coming down, and my Jersey Moms Blog button is going up for all to see this middle-aged mom is now a Jersey girl.

You can read how much I Heart NJ here.

If you're a reader with love for NJ, tell me what the best things are about my new home state.
