Seeing Red

    When I was pregnant the first time obvs there was no paying attention to symptoms or aches or pains. It just was. The only time there was a scare was similar to the scare this time & we went to the hospital. If I can brutally honest here… I was hoping I was [...]

Where have I been?

Where has she been & who I am? That’s a secret I will certainly tell. You know you love me. XOXO Gossip Girl. I know you all hate it when you come over here to get a little dose of funny or snark & you’re all like “where the hell is she?” Usually my excuse is [...]

What makes you a good mother?

via pinterest Last week doing my daily Facebook rounds I saw Mama Knows It All send out that they chose to have a baby so they are choosing to be a good mom. Nothing wrong with that at all. Motherhood is much like marriage. You chose every day how you are going to interact with [...]

O.P.P.{K} aka Other Peoples Precious Kids

  I have meant to blog for sometime now about being a parent who does not like kids, but every time I tried it seemed to bomb well before paragraph 2. But today as I sat out on the sunny bench at the playground being a parent who doesn’t like kids came back to me. [...]

Silver Lining Parenting

Honestly after about 5-6 minutes it started to stink a bit & the pot is left looking less than appealing. I’m sure [...]

via pinterest Some point during or after the holiday season with the big green tree & blinking lights there was a controversy brewing over at Mecca Mom aka Target over some breastfeeding Mom. My husband was the one who actually brought the thing to my attention & after reading it I thought Target acted unfairly [...]

This weeks #parentingfails {video edition}

I am not the best parent by any means. I could spend hours telling you how bad I failed just today alone. But sometimes I take pride in the fact that some parents are a little worse than I am. This weeks parenting fails: Rachel Crows parents get the parenting fail award this week because [...]

How motherhood in your 20s look.

    On my 21st birthday I was sitting on my sofa watching Sex & The City, eating Chipotle & nursing a baby. There was no dropping it like it was hot, no plastering my vagina all up on some window for everyone to see like Snookie, & the stumbling you saw at 2 in [...]
