Eyes Rolling Award of the Week. Blah, blah, blah. You know, whenever I'm looking for a random essay written by some smarmy wannabe supermom to really rile me up, I go straight to babble.com.

"Do not stress. Just feed her. But make sure she is on a three-hour schedule." (from "Why first time moms lose their minds", featured below. I must admit, I'm a little obsessed with Xtranormal.com lately, thanks to something posted on the Eater Miami blog. So I searched for one about parenting and came up with this little gem:
Number One Photo Tip From Me, The Worst Photographer Ever. It's true, I am the worst photographer ever. If you've seen cute pictures that I've taken, that was probably a result of mass quantity snapping (one of my techniques) or due to the sheer super-photogenic qualities of the subject of the picture. So here's my number one photo tip to aid you in your holiday photos: Take Real Advice from Real Photographers. Lifehacker.com has been kind enough to assemble such advice for point-and-shoot cameras specifically.
Gotta Love Those Ubiquitous End-of-the-Year Lists. Like this one, from The New York Times "Motherlode" section: The Parenting Run Amok Awards.
