Mom's Timeout

There’s nothing worse than a picky toddler. Trust me, I have the epitome of picky toddlers living under my roof. That’s a story for another day, though.

Every mom, at one point or another, wonders if she’s doing a good job. It’s inevitable. I remember hearing not too long ago that if you’re even questioning whether or not you’re a good mom, then you probably are. After all, we care more about our little ones than anything else. I mean, c’mon. There […]

It seems as though lately I spend a lot of time explaining to people that right now, I’m my toddler’s entire world, but that’ll change. In another year or two, he’ll want to go help daddy or spend the entire weekend with his grandparents. He’ll want freedom and independence. Right now, he’s going through something […]

Some might think I’m crazy for being so happy about having two kids under two, but trust me, I have very good reason for this feeling of joy. I mean, of course the obvious down point would be that I pretty much have to buy two of everything such as cribs, highchairs and twice as […]

Could this seriously be real? Well guess what..it is!! Parents from China wanted to purchase a shiny new iPhone as we know everybody already has or wants.

I remember being completely and totally in awe about the miracle of pregnancy. For the life of me, I couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that I was growing a baby. ME. I was totally responsible for another human life. I used to read my pregnancy tracker each and every week and marvel in what […]

Isn’t it hilarious to think back to those first few days of school… the Pinterest-worthy lunches we packed and the art projects that adorned every wall in our homes. We were totally on our “A-game” and ready to go each and every day. Those were the days, weren’t they? And then as we get closer […]

Being a mom is one of the hardest things most of us will ever do in our lives. It’s hard to fathom just how much it becomes a part of us. And unfortunately, sometimes our kids see us when we’re not exactly at our best. They see the good and the bad, the awesome as […]

I remember before I had my son, I had all these so-called fantasies about what being a mom would be like. Some have of course been right on target and others – well, far from it. You know, for whatever reason, I thought I’d still have all this spare time. These days, I forget I […]

My husband tells me all the time that I’m a little obsessive about certain things. We’re pretty much to the point where my husband and our parents purposely mess with me when they’re here. My dad turned the numbers upside down on the little guy’s calendar. My husband flips the blinds. I mean, it’s all […]

Boys will be boys, right? What exactly is wrong with people that they feel the need to be so darn sexist? My little guy is definitely precious, but I’m willing to bet a little girl would be too. Maybe someday, I’ll get to find out for myself. In the meantime, I guess I’ll just live […]

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “you can’t have your cake and eat it too.” It sucks. I thought I was going to have it all together. I thought I’d be able to work full-time, take care of my son, and still have a hobby. That was a joke. By a lot of people’s definition, […]
