Jessica Holmes: Not-So-Funny Mummy by Erica Ehm
|
|
|
Jessica Holmes is best known for her hilarious, spot-on impressions of pop icons like Celine Dion and Liza Minelli. As a member of The Royal Canadian Air Farce, she's one of this country's elite comediennes. But when Jessica and I recently chatted for an hour in between her rehearsals for the new Ross Petty family musical Robin Hood, it was clear that her passion for funny has been tempered by motherhood. The irony of Jessica's obsession with her two kids is that just four years she had absolutely zero interest in children... Click for more... |

Dr. Trina Read: Mummy Sex Blog

Six Month Sex ChallengeIt's been six weeks since I had my newest son, Evan, and it's time to resume sexual relations. With my first son, trying to get sex back on track was, at times, a complete gong show. And that was with me making a concerted effort to have sex at least once a week. With that in mind, I've decided to make sex after this baby a project. For the next six months I will (attempt) to have sex with my husband at least once a week. But not just any old sex.

 Good Riddance Jon & Kate! I just finished watching the last episode of Jon & Kate + Eight and it's one hour of my life I will never, ever get back. This series finale proved this is a show that needed to end if there is any hope in hell of these kids living a normal life. And not because the show victimized them or objectified them, but because their parents can't see far enough past their own egos to see what they are doing to their kids.

This month's Featured Blog is Bored Mommy written by Maria Stanley in Kingston, Ontario where she writes about attempting to reclaim her body and her sanity while maintaining her sense of humour.
