Mamacita says: Lady Gaga? I know who she is, but have no interest in hearing her sing or carry on or shake hands with the Queen whilst in full GagaGear.

Mamacita says: Women who had difficult labors probably hate me already right now, but I’ll go ahead and make it worse: I loved being pregnant. I felt GREAT.
Even when I was sitting still, doing nothing, I was still doing something wonderfully productive. I was euphoric. I felt very off-balance, but I’m so inclined that [...]

Mamacita says: My daughter was seven when she asked the question I’d been dreading for seven years: “Mommy, is there really a Santa Claus?”
However, thanks to Caroline Quiner Ingalls, I knew exactly how to answer her. And, this answer fully satisfied my little child, and me.
Laura and Mary’s Ma knew how to explain to her [...]

Mamacita says: She looks pretty good to be 32 years old and full of superglue, doesn’t she.
A few years ago, I thought I would try something new, so I put a twinkly-lights-covered star on top of my tree. It was beautiful, but after a few days, I took it down and hung it from [...]

Mamacita says: I was reading my dear online friend Judy’s blog tonight and stole this meme idea from her. Thank you, Judy. I haven’t done a meme for a while, mostly because I loathe them, but this one appealed to me so here goes: How I Named My Blog.

Mamacita says: Before I say anything else, I want to send a huge, grateful shout-out to Mocha Momma! You should all be reading her blog anyway, because she’s great, but add to all that, I’ve won a laptop from her blog contest! Oh, Momma, I can’t thank you enough! I’m going to find you [...]

Mamacita says:
Way over in Connecticut, one of Fairfield University’s most beloved professors of all time has died.
Those of you who are into the political scene may remember John Orman as the man who challenged Senator Joseph Lieberman for the 2006 Democratic Senate nomination. Others may remember John as the author of numerous books about [...]
