Jennie Canzoneri

I'm a twenty-something wife to the geekiest redhead I know and a mom to a one-year-old son, Kyle, who proves every cheesy parenting cliche ever written to be true. I spend my days marketing books at a publishing house and my nights alternating between baking cupcakes I can't eat and watching really awful television (of the CW variety). Other than that, I like my margaritas strong and my mornings to start in the afternoon. They often don't, though, which explains the Diet Coke addiciton.

This article claims that new parents lose SIX MONTHS of sleep in the first two years of a kid's life. Now, I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I certainly believe it. I'm still tired from those first six months. -- Telegraph Diablo Cody, the awesome brainpower behind Juno, had a baby boy named Marcello. -- Celebrity Baby Blog I love these tips for raising a daughter, especially the tip to "pick your battles wisely."

It's hard being a new mom (or even an experienced mom to a new baby) and sometimes we do things we know we shouldn't, despite what all the experts say. But this is a safe place to share your secrets—we won't tell.

This Week's Secret:

I've been on three trips in the last three months -- two for work and one to visit a friend -- and each time I've been gone, I left my son with his father without a worry in the world about it.

My husband rarely worries or stresses or obsesses over things like I do when it comes to parenting. He doesn't worry when Kyle is sick, and he doesn't worry about when he hits milestones, and he really doesn't worry when I leave town and he has to solo parent.

Here are some sample rooms throughout the house, each using this new trendy color combination -- in case you've been toying with the idea of incorporating it into your own home. (Like I have!)
