I quit my job. I did it two days before Christmas. I couldn’t stop sweating as I made the phone call. My voice had this weird shrilly pitch that comes out when I’m nervous. When I said the words, I started laughing. Thinking back on it, I probably sounded like I’d had a few too many...

By Harmony Hobbs: HOLY CRAP. If you are a parent of just one child, you may want to stop reading here, lest you be frightened out of having any more. Going from one child to two is hard, like really hard, like the OMG-I-may-not-survive kind of crazy hard that really cannot be explained. In order to understand,...

My boobs hate me. You see, I just had a baby. It went well, considering I pushed an 8-pound infant out of my vajay-jay without any pain medication. I planned for a natural birth and I had one, proving that I am indeed tougher than I thought. It was a truly amazing experience. You might think that, having...

By Harmony Hobbs: I have a confession to make. Sometimes, I think that my life would drastically improve if my legs didn’t rub together so much when I walk. Or if I had a housekeeper. And a perpetual tan. So if I happen to interact with someone who doesn’t have to clean her own home, and is also...

By Harmony Hobbs: Oprah does this thing in her magazine called What I Know For Sure. It’s an editorial piece she writes every month and although I feel like I’m still too young to fully embrace the Oprah brand, I really do love her honesty. She once openly admitted to wearing full-body...

By: Harmony Hobbs Ugh … daycare. How I loathe and love you. The hardest part of being a working mommy is the issue of childcare. I love to work, but I hate leaving my son. It sent me into a major depression-like funk for the entire first year of his life because I was so laden with guilt over it....

By Harmony Hobbs: Ladies, we need to make time for ourselves. It’s vital to our survival. Recently, I had a bit of a meltdown. Okay … fine. I completely and totally LOST IT. I reached the end of my rope. I took a trip to crazy town. I was, in sum, burned out. My husband recently got a new...

By: Harmony Hobbs I wish to discuss the power of the female hormone. Specifically, the power that it has over ME. You see … I’m pregnant. But before that, I had PMS. Generally speaking, I have the kind of PMS that takes control of my life for 1-2 days. I’m like a woman possessed. One minute I’m...

Hello, 2011. I had to endure 48 hours cooped in a 1,500 square foot house with my two-year-old and my in-laws to get here.  I witnessed my husband’s 86-year-old great-aunt call my brother-in-law an “egotistical sack of SH!T,” learned that my own grandmother is a closet wine drinker (now I see...

By: Harmony There are few things in life that I hold true, and one of them is dinnertime. Actually, let’s be real–I love meals. Any meal will do. I grew up in a happy household and I like to believe part of that had to do with dinnertime. It seems to be one of the keys to family togetherness....
