Hi! I'm Lindsay Ferrier. I'm a wife, a stepmom to two college girls and a mom to 4 and 7yo's. I'm deeply flawed, often insecure, at times defensive, snarky on Tuesdays, and I put my foot in my mouth on a regular basis. Let's be friends!

Sleepless in Wherever
February 21, 2012
Traveling alone, as you know, can be stressful—particularly when that travel involves navigating New York City. Alone. I went to New York recently with lots of things to do and lots places to be. One day, I covered the new health care law, interviewing experts for several hours in order to understand the Affordable Care Act well enough to explain it to CafeMom readers. (And that, incidentally, is why I wrote nothing...

Remembering Susan
February 7, 2012
Like pretty much every other mom blogger out there, I am deeply grieved today over the loss of "Toddler Planet" blogger Susan Niebur, otherwise known as WhyMommy. She died yesterday after a five year battle with inflammatory breast cancer. Susan was a reader of this blog almost from the beginning. She always left kind, thoughtful, intelligent comments, and over the years, she became someone whose friendship I trusted...

I Wore a Wine Glass Necklace
February 1, 2012
How could I forget to share the latest episode of "I'll Take That Dare" with you? This particular dare was another one of my favorites -- I wore a wine glass necklace at local hotspot Urban Flats on a Friday night, and while I was worried that I'd be scorned by the hipster clientele, everyone had a lot of fun with it. Check it out: There's a good back story to this episode, which I shared on The Stir: if you're...

The Lice Squad
January 30, 2012
As soon as I walked into my son's preschool classroom a few Fridays ago, I knew something was wrong. Both teachers had the kind of apprehensive look on their faces that generally precedes an overly detailed explanation of how Bruiser skinned his knee on the playground and would-I-please-sign-this-accident-report, or how he made the unfortunate choice of using his hands instead of his words after a kid spit on him....

A Week to Remember
January 23, 2012
Last week was a very busy week. First, I headed to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to moderate a CafeMom Coffee Break with (now former!) presidential candidate Rick Perry. He was, as you would expect looking at this photo, a very nice, affable guy. He also seemed tired. And down. And a little shaky. He alluded to dropping out of the race a few times during our interview, and I wasn't at all surprised when he did just...

I Wore a Forever Lazy in Public
January 13, 2012
It's time for the second installment of "I'll Take That Dare," and this episode is one of my favorites! In it, I wear a Forever Lazy out in one of Nashville's upscale shopping districts, with hilarious results. Check it out... Some behind-the-scenes information on this one... This was the first dare (of 12!) that we shot, so I was really nervous about whether I could pull it off. Luckily, it was much easier...

Because Little Things Mean A Lot
January 11, 2012
We've had a crazy couple of months here at the Ferrier house as the family has adjusted to my new job, but everyone now seems to be settling in nicely. Bruiser's crying when I leave him at preschool or in the YMCA nursery is now entirely fake, and something of an afterthought. His teachers all say that as soon as I'm out of the room, he drops the act entirely and runs off to play with his friends. Clearly, the kid knows...

How I Became an Adult
January 9, 2012
Shortly after I turned 18, I headed off to college at the University of Georgia in Athens. Life soon became one long, giddy string of parties, dates, coffeehouse study sessions, late night heart-to-hearts, concerts, and movies. I was having the time of my life, except for one thing... My parents kept calling. This was before cell phones, so the fact that I was never around to take their calls became an issue. A MAJOR...

I Took That Dare–See What Happened!
January 6, 2012
I could not be more excited to show this to you... The very first episode of "I'll Take That Dare!" I'll write more about it later, but first I'm off to a much needed Christmas gift massage, thanks to my wonderful husband. In the meantime, WHAT DO YOU THINK??? Oh... and if you want to help a girl out, will you pretty please hit the 'subscribe' button on CafeMom Studios' YouTube page? (You can find it right...
