Mom's Timeout

Remember on your wedding day when you said your husband was your best friend? That might not be true after you have kids. New studies reveal that moms might actually need the support of their friendships with other women more than they need their hubby.  What do you think? I know I wouldn’t survive the […]

Who’s the better parent? Is it you or your husband? I’d like to say that I’m totally the better parent, but then there are times… like tonight when both kids wanted my husband to put them to bed instead of me. I wish I could be the one spending an hour wrestling with my son […]

Sometimes, it’s hilarious to hear the stereotypes. People can seriously be oblivious. I mean, let’s face it. If my husband didn’t cook, we’d probably all starve to death around here. Okay, so maybe that’s a little bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. Sure, I can cook. Sort of. He’s the one who’s […]

It’s rare that something catches my attention enough so to make me actually stop and read it in its entirety right then and there. More often than not, I just save things for later. And even then, sometimes I look at them and sometimes I don’t. October is National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and when […]

…At least according to this dad. Before my husband and I had kids, we totally had this parenting thing figured out! We were going to share all parenting duties. Just like before we got married, we were going to share all household duties. Well, guess who does the dishes, laundry, shopping, cooking, etc… You guessed […]

Don’t you wish you could do this? This young couple in their 20s are engaged; they’ll get married in a month. For some strange, but amazing reason, they’ve agreed to let makeup artists transform them to their future selves. What will they think of each other then? The idea is pretty mind-boggling. Seeing your spouse […]

We compiled this list of the top 7 stupid things dads say after baby arrives.  Topping the list are directly from a dad himself. Not even he can believe what he said when he looks back 🙂 I love the honesty this dad has about the ridiculous words that actually came out of his mouth […]

My son couldn’t have been more than a few weeks old when I left him alone here with his daddy for the first time. I needed to run to the store and let’s face it – it would’ve taken twice as long if I had taken him with me. As a brand-spankin’-new, first-time mom, I […]

Epic Fail, my dearest husband. Sometimes men just don’t get it, do they? I’m lucky in that I have a husband who’s more particular about the house than I am. He cooks. He cleans. He does laundry… And mostly importantly, he always cleans up after himself – okay, almost always, but I really can’t complain because he’s […]

Doesn’t hearing something like “Dad’s just babysitting” make you grit your teeth and bite your tongue? Does it rub you the wrong way? This is definitely one of my pet peeves. Hello! Dad isn’t ‘babysitting.’ He’s being a dad. These are his kids too! What’s up with this anyhow? Do people ever actually think before […]

Have you ever wondered what makes marriages last? You know, what keeps the bond between two people just as strong as the day they said I do? I’ve occasionally mentioned something along these lines to older friends or relatives and the responses I’ve gotten are, for the most part, very similar. It’s crazy to think that some people manage […]

My husband will never understand what it’s like to be me. He can’t wrap his brain around what it’s like to be a woman, a wife, a mother… just as I can’t really comprehend what it’s like to be him. Sometimes, in the heat of argument or while dishing it with my girls at the […]

Are you a bad wife? I like to think I’m pretty good at the whole wife thing, but we all have our strengths and weaknesses. If you pressed my husband to find out how I’m dropping the ball, he’d probably say something about me burning dinner last weekend or how I have a really hard […]

Over the weekend, I took a look around and realized that somehow things had gotten away from me. There were toys scattered all over the floor in both bedrooms, a few baskets of clean laundry that weren’t put away yet, and a stack of disorganized paperwork sitting on my desk. I looked down and saw […]

Okay, so I’m definitely not so sure that I’d be on board with the idea, but I could see it being entertaining. What about you? Would you let your husband dress you? I’m thinking that, as much as I love my husband, his fashion sense and mine would totally clash. We are worlds apart as […]

Why does it seem that wherever you look, someone’s putting down their husband? Why does it appear as though dads are always the butt of all our jokes? You know, because they’re clueless and all. Why wouldn’t they be? They’re men. It’s crazy to think that our male partners are capable of anything less than […]

You know how sometimes there are people who just rub you the wrong way. No matter how hard you try to like them, you just can’t. And then there are people who you get along with effortlessly. They just know you. They accept you – quirks and all. You don’t have to explain yourself because […]

One thing I learned as a new mom was that lack of sleep and I do not get along. As much as I loved life with a newborn (and even now with a toddler), some days I seriously napped off and on with the baby until 3 pm and I probably still would if I […]

Hollywood often paints husbands and dads as goofy couch potatoes who function more like extra children in the home setting. I think most moms can agree that, thankfully, that’s not really the case. We laugh at their mistakes and sometimes misguided “man” thoughts. We blame their faults on the pesky Y chromosome and joke about it […]

Are you in love with your husband? Instinctively, the answer is yes. Of course you are, you’re married aren’t you? But if we really think about it those nagging thoughts start to creep in. If you’ve been together for a long time, you know that love starts to change over time. It starts out like […]
