Mommy Groups: The Good | The Bad | The Ugly

You guys. Here I go, I’m going to be terminated from every Facebook Mom Group after this post. Maybe some of my Facebook friends will drop me after this too. If you’re a mom, chances are you belong to some sort of Support Group on Facebook (Moms of Newborns, Toddler Moms, Breastfeeding Moms, etc). Do…

What I Really Want for Mother’s Day

As I sat in the living room, listening to my girls fight over a Mother’s Day gift they were working on in the next room over, I couldn’t help but feel like it was all for nothing. Here I was, not spending time with my children just so they could make sure I had a…

Mom Bod: I Can Live With That

10 years ago I hosted a spaghetti wrestling ‘event’ for my 21st birthday. Yeah, I was that girl… Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, Facebook has a fun little way of showing you your memories. Facebook has been showing me the photos from that memorable night. Do you know what I see when I look at…

I took a vacation the other night and it was beyond amazing. It was better than Disneyworld…there were no swarms of children. It was like being on a tropical island; I was so relaxed and there were So.Many.Colors. I was going to keep my new favorite getaway a secret, so I can continue to enjoy…

“He was mean to you? That DOESN’T mean he likes you”

Recently, I was witness to a scene that made me cringe. A couple of young males, whom had just heard a story about a boy picking on a girl, each responded very similarly: That means he likes her! My (insert relation) told me that when a boy is mean to a girl it means he…

The Non-Existence of Public Changing Tables

NEWSFLASH: Humans do not come out of the womb with the ability to use a toilet. Said humans must be changed each and every time they pee or poo. Oh, this isn’t news to you? I just wanted to make certain we are all on the same page because it seems as though many businesses…
