The Mommy Hat: Children’s Books We Love
I have a 14-month old critic in the house. She questions everything I do. And she has an opinion on everything I say. When I read a book to my little critic she tells me if she likes it by clapping her hands – or, if she hates it, by closing the book and pushing it out […]
The Bookworm Hat: Reading The Printed Word
I used to be a fast reader (I finished Lovely Bones in one night!). Now, time is a luxury. A luxury that I don’t get much of. So, here’s to tonight and to finding an hour to read the printed word! Instead of spending the average 30 minutes (or more) to social network. I’m heading upstairs, tucking myself into […]
The Mommy Hat: For Your Little Bookworm

The Mommy Hat: Naptime is the New Happy Hour
If I can’t judge a book by its cover, then can I judge it by its title? This book seems right up my ally. It’s all about managing life with a toddler in tow. I love its sister book, Chardonnay is not for Sippy Cups so I’m going to add this book to my Christmas list. . . I don’t have […]
The Self Hat: Mommy Quiz
Recently, I’ve been following a blog by the authors of, I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids. I haven’t read the book yet - but somewhere in between conference calls, play dates, diaper changes, grocery shopping, housekeeping and middle of the night feedings, I plan to. Anyway, on this blog I came across a quiz that […]
