All of the above

The good news is that I'm finally done talking about graduation (I think). The bad news is that now I'm talking about the Duggars. Yes, those Duggars. In case you thought there might be some limit to my bossiness, I'm giving them advice on Lifetime Moms. And yes, it's as wrong as it sounds.

But to make it up to you, here's some cuteness on NickMom--cute overload even.

Better?

Oh, Mama(lode)

I must have lost my mind. Sincere poetry on Mamalode. Well, as it turns out, a child's high school graduation can make a mom completely lose it--which in my case means I went and wrote a "real" poem. Lucky for me, Mamalode is more adept at dealing with feelings than I am and gave me a safe place to share it. Grab a tissue and go have a look, won't you?

But don't worry, there's always haiku. If that's what you came for, click over and come see my latest for NickMom .

Students, parents, teachers, and guests (but mostly parents)

Get the lowdown on the graduation crowd over on Lifetime Moms. Yes, I'm still talking about graduation. This is a big thing, y'all. For the parents, that is. Some of those kids barely looked up from their phones. Stay on yours an extra minute and click over to see my latest on Lifetime Moms, where it's all about the parents.

After all the hubbub, or before if you're just gearing up, you might want a nice relaxing pedicure. I do. Even though this is how it really goes, over on NickMom.

Graduation means speeches, right? I would like to take a moment to thank TodayParents for featuring my prom haiku in last week's Friday funny Facebook parent collection. Now go forth and do good in the world!

How things change

Graduation is so special, isn't it? Preschool graduation, kindergarten graduation, grade school graduation, middle school graduation, high school graduation, college graduation...well, maybe not that special. But it does make a sniffling mom look backward and forward at the same time, which is exactly what I'm doing on Midlife Mixtape today, with a reflection on an album I loved on my commute, then years later on my kid's commute. Come pat me on the shoulder, and say, "There, there," won't you?

Summertime summertime some some summertime

Giving you the little league dirt on Lifetime Moms.
Are you ready for summer? Whiling away the hours at the neighborhood pool or the ball game? Over and over. For months on end?

Today on Lifetime Moms, I'm giving you the dirt on baseball--or more specifically, the baseball mom life. Spoiler: People are lying liars who lie.

Save me a seat in the shade!

Speaking of truth, this whole promposal business has opened my eyes to my sons' ability to stand on ceremony. In fact, I was inspired to invent the momposal , which may be my greatest idea ever. Trust me,  you want in on this over at Huffington Post Parents .
