Movin’ On Up?

Tonya — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 18:52:44 +0000

It’s been so amazing here at adhocMOM but, sadly, we are moving on. Moving up. I can now be found at my new blog: Going To Mensa and on twitter: @Going2Mensa. I can also still be found at The Mouthy Housewives. Unlike Weezy though my move won’t come with an apartment in the sky. Anyway, [...]

‘Bout Time!

I’m very proud to be a New Yorker!

Decisions, Decisions….

Tonya — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 04:21:00 +0000

Recently, on FB, I read some inspirational little ditty about “being the sum of one’s experiences” and me, being the kind of gal who hates optimistic musings, I blocked that FB friend because, really, I’m more of a glass is half empty and filled with cyanide sort of person and I hate it when people [...]

Suburban Living 101: Or, Has Anyone Seen My Car?

Paula — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:00:00 +0000

It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost three months since we left Brooklyn. While we miss our friends, the restaurants, the coffee shops and the bars (even though we haven’t set foot in one in years), I’m pleased to report that there’s much to like about living in the suburbs. We eat dinner outside [...]

The Strange Case of Doing Nothin’

Tonya — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 10:01:54 +0000

I apologize for my flaky blogging lately. At first I thought it was just the on coming Summer that was dragging me down into some sort of strange pudding-like dimension where my body and my mind are always 10 steps behind where I know they should be. Then I thought maybe I’d woken up in [...]

Summer With The Grandparents Circa 2011

Paula — Thu, 02 Jun 2011 10:00:52 +0000

I wrote a post very much like this last summer. But I can’t help but think that June has changed so much that this one will turn out differently. My mom and step dad arrived last Saturday. Since it’s their first time seeing our new house we were very exited for their visit – June [...]

Things I Need Like A Hole In The Head

Tonya — Tue, 31 May 2011 03:00:31 +0000

Things around here at ad hoc MOM have been a little, well, ad hoc. As long as ad hoc stands for crazy and hectic and lots of wine consumption, which I’m almost positive is the exact definition of the word given in the latest Oxford Dictionary. While I try and make my life (read: my [...]

Short and Sweet: Clean Your Feet

Carrie — Fri, 27 May 2011 17:23:26 +0000

Ok, when I first saw this product on the shelf of my local pharmacy: …a number of things ran through my mind: 1. Are you serious? That’s totally pathetic! 2. Built in Pumice stone? Hmm… 3. Wait, secures to ANY tub or shower? 4. Clean feet? 5. No bending? 6. I want it. Think of [...]

Mom Without Routine: Brain Without Leash

Carrie — Mon, 23 May 2011 17:40:26 +0000

As readers may have noticed in the past few weeks, we at ad hoc MOM have taken a break from routine. For me, the break hasn’t just been from the blog–it’s been from all of my life’s regularly occurring activities. The month of May has been a crazy one for my family–a kid-less trip to [...]

We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming…

Tonya — Wed, 11 May 2011 19:22:28 +0000

Ad Hoc MOM is taking a brief break for about a week. Paula is busy mediating the separation between Arnold The Govenator and Maria Shriver, Carrie has non-stop dance rehearsals for her upcoming audition on Dancing with the Stars and Tonya is trying desperately to look interested as Paula Abdul yammers on incoherently while they [...]
