When I was young, we used to visit relatives in Tijuana all the time. I liked visiting my relatives, but I wasn’t crazy about Tijuana. In the Tijuana of my youth, I could be taking a shower and all of a sudden the water would run out. I’m not talking about the hot water, I […]

Fragmented Fridays
Guess what? I am not perfect. Nope. And neither are my kids. For the most part I share the good, quirky, or humorous parts of my parenting experience, but today I’m coming out of the closet. Today, I am going to share a part of my life as a parent that I absolutely hate. That’s […]
A Dose of Reality
I had a baby about 2 months ago and I’ve been feeling pretty good about myself. I’ve lost a bunch of weight and I’ve started exercising regularly. I’m not where I’d like to be, but still I wasn’t feeling too shabby until my two year old served up a dose of reality. I have to […]
I Comment Therefore I Am
Once upon a time, not so very long ago, on this very same blog, I came up with a weekly feature called “I Comment Therefore I Am” (comma left out intentionally). The purpose of this feature was to write a post comprised of comments I’ve left on other blogs or comments that have been left […]
I Called the Wrong Number and Made Some Guy Talk to My Kid

Fragmented Fridays
Most of the time, I have no idea what day of the week it is. My kids are not in school yet, my husband doesn’t have a regular work schedule, and I don’t get enough sleep. Most days merge into sleepless nights and back again. For the most part it doesn’t matter if I know […]
My Birthday Wish
I’m turning 40 this year. 40 and I’m not freaking out at all. I freaked out at 30, which in retrospect seems so silly. At 30, I felt like time was ticking and I hadn’t accomplished anything. At 40, I look at my life and appreciate the experiences and relationships. I don’t measure success as […]
Problem Solved or No Problemo
So if I’m talking to someone and I tell them I have a blog and they actually care and want to know the url I tell them, UnknownMami.com, but they hear UnknownMommy.com. Then I have to be all like, “it’s Mami, not Mommy” and they’re all like, “What’s the difference, you are saying the same […]
