Mom's Timeout

Can this adorable family get any cuter?! You can always count on Mommy vlogger and makeup guru, Judy Travis, to capture the absolute sweetest and sometimes hilarious moments in her family’s life-but this one takes the cake! Adorable toddler, “Julianna Bear”, was having a sweet daddy-daughter dinner when she surprised Dad with the most stunning […]

I managed to put together my son’s entire nursery, more or less, by myself. I came home from work one day to find his dresser assembled, but other than that, it was all me. Ironically, his entire nursery was Ikea. I happen to rather like their furniture. No surprise, right? I remember being down on […]

I’ll bet this mom didn’t expect her version of Hallelujah to go viral, but it has. I’m not surprised, considering… This is probably the most amazing version of this song I’ve ever heard. The lyrics are definitely awesome. I’ll bet every mom can relate to them. This is one of those totally down-to-earth, not staged, […]

I remember spending the night with my little cousin all the time when I was a kid. We would play dress-up and do each other’s hair and nails. Growing up, we were the best of friends. Back then, I was totally naive to the real world and how dangerous it could be. Of course it […]

I noticed something along the lines of Logistical Overwhelm as soon as I went back to work after having my son. As if it wasn’t hard enough to get myself to work on time, I also added a second little human being that I had to get ready each morning. Needless to say, I’m not […]

Instead of the usual talent that we’re used to seeing in a pageant, Miss Colorado did something unique and different. Instead of singing and dancing, she talked about why she’s not just a nurse. This contestant tells an amazing story about her relationship with a patient and this video just goes to show that physical […]

I was really young when I was in kindergarten, as in barely 5 years old. For that matter, all through school, I was one of the youngest. I was one of the last to be allowed to wear makeup and one of last to be able to drive. The silver lining to being so young? I […]

Every now and again, I run across something that makes me stop and shake my head. Can people really be that nosy? That ignorant? That unapologetic? As far as I’m concerned, kids should, even in this day and age, learn to take care of themselves. Now, let’s take a step back for a minute. What I […]

Last night, my son didn’t sleep well at all. Probably a combination of having just gotten back from vacation and of course teething. Either way, it sucks. I picked him up from daycare this afternoon in hopes of having a nice, relaxing evening together. Not so much. From the time we walked in the door until the […]

Were you a little too excited for school to start? Were you itching to get out? Maybe, have a girl’s day? Let’s face it, we all need a break from time to time. What’s Up Moms has managed to do it again with this hilarious video. It’s too funny. These three moms break out of the […]

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 […]

I remember sitting at work one day joking around with another mom. We were talking about a satire piece I stumbled across that was poking fun at the whole working mom versus stay-at-home mom issue. You know, because it’s a catch-22 and you’re darned if you do and darned if you don’t. Not surprising, right? […]

Did you have any idea how much your life would change after you had kids? Did it even occur to you that things would never be the same? Were you prepared for your entire existence to get turned upside down in the blink of an eye? It’s totally crazy. Kids are crazy – crazy-wonderful, that […]

The kids are back in school and you know what that means, don’t you? Your days are spent chauffeuring your kids to and from school and sports, running around like a mad-woman trying to keep up with it all, and constantly telling everyone to hurry up – because, let’s face it – if it were […]

Parenting was a whole heckuva-lot easier before you had kids, wasn’t it? I remember all the crazy things I told my mom friends back then – how I’d have the most perfectly-behaved little one who never watched TV and always ate their vegetables. These days, the joke’s on me. Granted, we don’t watch much – […]

How much do you remember from when your kids were born? I can recount almost the entire day. From the moment I was admitted until the first time I held my son in my arms, it all still feels like it was just yesterday. I have so many memories that are vague and barely there, […]

Okay, I can totally relate to sometimes feeling like I can’t do anything right, especially since I now have a few too many balls in the air. Note to self: Don’t get yourself in too deep. You absolutely cannot have your cake and eat it too. I don’t care what anyone says. I had my son […]

Remember the “Let It Go” parody that went viral not too long ago. MyLifeSuckers just posted another video and managed to do it again. This time of Taylor Swift’s “Bad Blood.” I give this woman serious credit because she’s absolutely hilarious and her parody videos are amazing. The effects are crazy and you’re definitely not going to […]

It was just a few days ago that I posted a picture of the little guy on Facebook along with the caption, “I don’t know why I buy toys. Lol… Someone got his books from Amazon today. Harper Collins Treasury of Picture Book Classics, Noah’s Ark, and Wee Sing Nursery Rhymes and Lullabies. Oh, and […]

These days, bedtime is non-negotiable around here. For better or worse, the little guy starts getting tired around 7 PM, which means he’s almost always in bed by 8 PM. Thankfully, he’s pretty good about it. I usually put him in his crib and he’s out within a few minutes. Last week, though – last week […]
