Dear Moms

OMG- We're EXPECTING!!   Dear Moms, I have recently been stricken with "BABY FEVER!" I have been inundated with all of these adorable little smooshy faces on my News Feed on Facebook, my twitter timeline, my Instagram feed, AND my Snapchat! Goodness gracious! So, I began to not only CRAVE another little ball of drool; but wonder HOW and WHEN you all knew that you were pregnant! I personally, experienced NOTHING in the way of symptoms of pregnancy. I just missed a menstrual cycle- took a test and BOOM! Well, with the first one. The second was much more interesting. I actually felt MOVEMENT before I realized I may have been expecting! I mean REALLY? Lol I was under the impression that you didn't ovulate while you are nursing...which by the way is a complete and total LIE! Anywhozit, I was nursing my first born and still actively having unprotected intercourse with my then SO. Well, one evening after a particularly amorous encounter I rolled over onto my stoma...

I'm Back! Dear Moms,  Hey Ladies!! Those few of you that DO read my ramblings.... Lol (You guys/gals are the REAL MVPs!!) Any way, I am back to the blog- I have been so consumed with the #BathroomRedo , creating the DIY channel, and adulting (make sure you check out the first two videos on YouTube)...good grief! A padded room and a jacket that makes me hug myself don't sound too bad right about now! (Kidding, kidding, I just need the padded room- I can do cartwheels and jump around until I get sleepy.)  Going crazy is not the HALF of it around here! Back to school is the name of the game these days! Go on, be honest, how many of you were sipping White Zinfandel in a sports bottle, or coffee travel mug as you waited for the bus with them? Lol, do not be ashamed many moms share a "post bus pick up toast" and I am NOT mad at ya! With this change in our households, what is it that YOU feel I should address?  What would you like to see in a j...

DE-Clutter for (and DURING) the Summer! Dear Moms,  So, I may or may not have already conveyed that I have developed OCD in the years I have been a mommy...lol but, it has turned out to be something that's been more favorable in my life than not. I say that to say this: when school lets out, I begin to get into Organization Mode. That means, I remove all the winter clothes and pack and label them to be put away, and I rotate out the summer clothes. I also start purchasing school uniforms, backpacks, etc in JULY- that way, by the time school gets started again, I have missed the rush, and I am already done. We buy the last minute items, and the things the kids WANT- versus what they NEED. In the same vein, I take the summer vacation to get the house, the activities, etc all organized as well. I have the types of children that if they are not given stimulation throughout the day, they will self destruct and go off the rails! I have a very stringent schedule for their down...

Learning Things About HOW to Deal with Your Kids Dear Moms, Do you ever feel like you have been tasked with the job of PARENT- and you aren't equipped?! Or do you have those days where you feel like I just SUCK at this whole mom gig- I could have been a stripper?! (Lol okay, maybe not the whole stripper part- but, hey you've at least thought of another profession you would have much better suited for?) I know I have- and hell, I have lived MONTHS of feeling that way; not just single days! Recently- with the kids being out of the house I have taken the time to do more research into the who, what, and why of myself and my kids. It really began with some weird astrology interest and I went deeper to learning about the intricacies of the zodiac signs... traits, habits, myths vs. truths. Once I had delved into that, I was hungry for more! I wanted to know how my sign (Taurus) related to my children's respective signs and how they clash, and or meld. For the most part my ...

Random Thoughts I Have During the Day as a Mom +ScaryMommyTV   via Instagram Retrieved: May 21, 2016 Dear Moms, Some days are amazing as a mommy. Some days are stressful and some days are downright scary! But, have you ever had any thoughts about your children that are just downright inappropriate? Lol I personally have, and I figured I'd share some of them as they pertain to a particularly "meh," Mom day and the "Mommyisms" I HAVE to say in real life instead!  ***BE ADVISED THERE ARE SOME SWEARS*** 6:30 am: (Alarm goes off) Ugh, ok let's get moving . "Ugh, okay let's get moving." 7:00 am: (waking kids) Omg,why doesn't THIS one feel good today?! "Let me see if you have a fever, if not you're going to school." 7:22 am: Why the hell are they arguing over the damn TOILET?! "Yes, I know there is only one potty- but we have to share, okay?" 7:45 am: Fifteen fucking minutes before we hav...
