Caillou’s Mom, but in Real Life!

If you haven’t seen the cartoon Caillou, then you are missing out! You’re not missing out on anything good or educational, but you certainly are missing out on something that could make you question your inherent abilities as a mother. There are many funny moms in the world and there are many supportive ones, but Caillou’s mom is something of a misnomer. Because there’s something not quite right with her. She never gets angry, she makes massive sacrifices for her […]

Valentines for Married People | OLD married people…

Ah, Valentine’s Day. The age-old (commercially created) holiday where lovers declare their undying commitment to each other through flowers, songs, chocolate, and overpriced greeting cards. When I was young and dating, Valentine’s day was something special. My then-boyfriends would try to impress me with poetry and a sexy evening. And being young and broke, that usually meant reading a poem over a shared bottle of cheap wine and then getting busy for hours. But what happens when your LAST boyfriend […]

Tips for Halloween When It’s Not Your Thing

I have never liked Halloween. I don’t know if it’s because we never really celebrated it with my family when I was little or because I don’t like spooky and scary things. But now that I have kids I hate it even more. Tips for Halloween are required since I’m not a “Halloween Person.” I hate the competition amongst parents on whose kids have the best costume or who has the best house decorations. Even more, I hate the sugar rush […]

Why Dads Matter | Involved Dads Make a Huge Difference

Several of the videos that have gone “viral” for MomCave have been themed around being a single mom, feeling like a single mom, dealing with an absent father, or making fun of (some!) dads. Out of the hundreds of videos and memes we’ve made over the years, somehow these were the ones that struck a chord. Though 90% of the comments on these videos are positive, the 10% that aren’t usually go something like, “You must hate men. Not all […]

Mother’s Day Sucks | When YOUR Mom is Gone

Mother’s Day sucks. There, I said it! I fully admit it. It shouldn’t. I’m the proud and lucky mom of two great kids, a girl, 10, and a boy, 4. They are my life, my joy, and I couldn’t imagine my world without them. But see, I belong to this club, the one that no one ever wants to be a part of. I’m a card-carrying member of the “my mother is dead so Mother’s Day sucks club.” There are […]

Mother’s Day Gifts That Won’t Break the Bank

In the 17 years I’ve been married, I’ve learned how to get what I want. Or at least a cheaper version of what I actually want. The key is giving my husband a very clear list, complete with where to find the item. He’s mentioned more than once that I have “champagne tastes on a beer budget.” But I have a talent for sniffing out the cheapest champagne… OR the fanciest beer. (I’m not sure this metaphor is working…) Here’s […]
