The Day My Son’s Ladybug Ran Away
-Dealing with a lost pet can be extremely daunting… even if it’s a ladybug. I can still hear the faint murmurs of my son Jake’s 40-minute meltdown when his pet ladybug, “Lady,” flew away. We kidnapped this 4 year old (or 4 day old bug – whatever the spot things mean), at the top of Mount Aspen. Jake loved her, cared for her, nurtured her, taught her to ride a bike, and started a 529 plan in her name. About a quarter of the way down the moun

New at iVillage -”Astro Boy” I Think they Went Too Far!
Okay, I will admit, I am the first one to be sucked in by cool CG animation and a star-studded cast. Astro Boy definitely fit that bill, so I took my 5- and 7-year-olds to see it on opening day. Maybe I give stars too much credit, assuming they can decipher between a well-written kids’ flick and something that may send inquisitive youngsters to therapy. MORE If you have an opinion, please chime in on iVillage!!!

New Me Time Challenge: I Don’t have time for a Hobby
and I Don’t Have Time for a Hobby! Since I loooove writing, this is one challenge I have a lot of experience with. I can tell you that it’s not easy to find the time.

The Bratz Movies are Making my Daughter act like a Brat and Dress Like She’s Going Clubbing
Here’s my 5-year-old daughter (into her fake bedazzled cell phone): “OMG!!! Hello Chloe, like, you are totally not going to be popular unless you come to my party. “ I’m sorry, what? At 4 or 5, I think I had just made the big girl move from Sesame Street to The Electric Company. While I was imitating Letter Man by leaping a capital “T” in a single bound my daughter’s doling out ultimatums, calling people “Sweetie” or “Hon,” and talking in acronyms. Sound mature? Well, you should see her attire: MORE Please CHIM

Me Time Challenge: I Don’t Have Time to Workout!
There used to be a time before kids and before my 30’s when I ate chicken wings, nachos and burgers freely. Now I can trace the outline of a single Cheeto in my belly. Even worse, my thighs seem to be having a love affair with one another, which makes walking in corduroys a very noisy endeavor. If you want the bod you had pre-babies, you have to work at it. So, I will help you find ways to work working out back into your schedule. How to find time to work out: MORE
