Secret #1: Feed your kids what you want them to eat when they’re a grown up.
I have a confession: I possess the palate of a 4-year old. I know this about myself because my son and I order the same things in restaurants and we fight over the same foods at home. In fact, I’d [...]
Something about fall’s cooler temperatures really brings out the baker/homemaker in me. I’ve always loved to nest in colder weather, but the subtle smell of chimney smoke and the crispness in the air reminds me of the comforting odors of my childhood with scents of cinnamon, nuts & vanilla. Whenever one of these moods strikes, my [...]
When people talk about raising kids, they often wistfully remark on how “entertaining” children are. Before I had kids of my own, I used to translate ”entertaining” into funny - like silly, sitcom funny. Now that I have children I see the entertainment is so much more layered and complex with lots of yuck, yuck humor - only with much more [...]
Raw Drip is one woman's raw, wry, fresh, and cheeky take on parenting, relationships, life, and other important stuff. I started writing Raw Drip because my friends are scattered all over the place and as a working mother with two toddlers I have no time to talk to them on the phone, meet them for a cup of coffee - or bathe regularly. Instead, I sit my stinky solo self down at my computer and write about all the things I used to talk with them about - and then I share it all with you - my fan base, my readership, my loyal drips.
Some of you have asked about the site name, Raw Drip, what does it mean? The name was inspired by the freshly perked cup of coffee I was drinking when I decided to start writing. I guess people see the word "raw" and just assume that the name has something to do with porn. It doesn't. I also don't write about: raw meat storage, raw food dieting, photos of people in the raw, or an obscure Japanese band named Raw Drip.
So dudes, if you've inadvertently stumbled upon my site while surfing for porn, my apologies. Unfortunately for you, you've landed in a place that's all chick-chat, with occasional penis references thrown in just for fun. At Raw Drip, the truth is harsh. But if you're man enough to handle it, keep reading. If not, move it along...
There. Are we all clear now? No porn here.
Happy Reading!
