We Need to Be Each Other’s Adultier Adult Sometimes

August 3, 2018 By Food Retro

I’ve got a confession. I don’t like the “anti-negativity” movement that I’m starting to see on social media an awful lot. I get it. I really do. There’s a lot of bad crap on the internet. I’ve lived in this space for over 20 years now. I know how it can be emotionally draining, and…

July 13, 2018 By Food Retro

It’s been a bit of a long haul from then to now, but I’m back, baby. A lot of stuff has happened.

How to Have an Easy Chill Birthday With Netflix! #StreamTeam #ad

September 14, 2017 By Food Retro

Kidlet has gotten just old enough the last two years to think that birthday parties are embarrassing. This is probably the fault of the spousal unit and I, who have gotten to the ripe-old age of “can’t be bothered to celebrate having to scroll one more line down searching for our birth year.” And it…

The Recipe for a Child at Play

April 4, 2017 By MomRetro

This past month, a local viral gremlin managed to set up residence in my home and provided me with three weeks of “unplanned” vacation time while I recovered from pneumonia.

There’s New Voltron Episodes! And He-Man! Thank Zeus.

January 31, 2017 By Food Retro

I can’t go anywhere on social media without hearing about Trump. People are sitting here worrying about resistance fatigue. Nah, man, I’m worried about Trump fatigue. Everything this guy touches is breaking news, to the point where I literally stick my head in the sand while I’m working, and every couple hours come up and…

The Merry Bagel Chase (Or, That Time I Baked Hockey Pucks)

January 13, 2017 By MomRetro

Holidays with family usually involve recounting embarrassing stories of each other. This past New Year’s Eve, one of my earliest baking attempts managed to make the “remember when….” list. Perhaps not quite as memorable as the Swedish Chef (from the Muppet Show) shooting holes into his bagels, was the story of the time I tried…

The 3%, the Other, and a Broken Mirror

December 6, 2016 By Food Retro

For years, I’ve been patiently waiting to bring my son into the world of SF literature and film that I love so deeply. We’ve been dancing around the edges of lore for a few months, bringing him into a love of robots with the Voltron reboot and the concept of aliens with Pacific Rim. But he wasn’t ready…

Why You Need a Girl’s Night, Even Alone, and Especially if You’re the Only Girl in Your Home

November 30, 2016 By Food Retro

I’m totally outmanned in my household (surprise!). It makes it hard to act like a girl (or care about acting like one) when you’re the only one who is required to pee sitting down. Boys don’t care about shoes and clothes. If you’ve got a tendency towards being a tomboy ANYWAY, the feminine behaviours generally…

Get in the Halloween Spirit with these Spooktacular Shows on Netflix #StreamTeam

October 28, 2016 By Food Retro

I’ve been really busy this month, and as a result we don’t feel quite as in the Halloween spirit as we usually do, but I’ve got big plans to rectify that this weekend. It’s time for some pumpkin carving, pumpkin seed roasting, and Netflix-watching family time. I’ve got no intention of sharing my bed with…
