If I had a dime for every vomit story I had with my three children, chances are I would be a lot more well off than I am now. Between the grocery store, our local diner,  multiple episodes in the car, and of course just in the comfort of our living room… there is a story for everyone!

But the other night when we had yet again, a vomit emergency in our house I realized something. No matter who tries to help your child when they are sick, whether it is a father, stranger, or even their grandfather. They only want one person.

Mommy.

Motherhood means:  Having a 40 pound, three year old fall asleep on you, in snow pants, when you are supposed to be putting dinner together.

Yesterday Ben wanted to play all day instead of taking a much needed nap. By the time 6pm rolled around he was out like a light, on top of me… rendering me completely useless. But I didn’t mind.

These moments are limited. Soon they will be a distant memory, and I will cherish every moment I can still get a snuggle from any of my kids.

I graduated high school 10 years ago. Holy shit. T-E-N Y-E-A-R-S!

Well, ten years in June, but either way, 10 years ago I was skating through my last couple months of my senior year with no worry in my mind about graduation, looking forward to the prom, and the freedom that my 18th birthday would bring me.

That picture right there is from my prom. That is my guidance councilor who helped me immensely through my high school career and became my biggest cheerleader once I became a home bound student (only attending the Aquaculture program) my last two years of high school. (more…)

Ready for a good laugh at one of the finer things in motherhood?  Good, because as embarrassing as it is – last night in my house was downright hysterical.

When you are a woman there are certain things you keep under your bathroom sink, or in your bathroom cabinet. Vagina cream typically is one of them. I always have monistat, tampons, pads, you know… all that shit no one ever wants to talk about in public. Because lets face it… sometimes we need it. (more…)

What matters the most in life?

Is it our children, money, fancy cars and nice things? Or is it the moments that shape us as people… families. The moments that truly make us who we are.

I admit I get caught up in the stress of motherhood, and I honestly think any mother who does not admit to being stressed out often is probably lying pretty bad. Motherhood isn’t easy, especially in the early years. But it is one of the most rewarding jobs we will have. (more…)

Since May of last year I have been writing daily on Baby’s First Year. It has been fun to document my daughters first year of life and really blog about something near and dear to my heart. But Monday I will be saying goodbye to Baby’s First Year.

It is bittersweet and I am having mixed feelings about it as a whole. So of course the only way I know how to get my feelings out… I will blog about it.

There have been so many positives of the past year, but now that Addie is getting older I feel like I am missing out on more and more. (more…)

We all come to a point in pregnancy that we go from being just pregnant to being a mom, and last night I think my friend Steph went through the transition.

Before we get started I have full permission from Steph to blog about this as well!  We all got a good laugh from it!

I think the conversations we have when we are pregnant or mothers take a transformation that normal people would never take seriously. Hell most people flinch when they even hear or say the word vagina. NOT US!  We throw it around like the word blazin’ back when I was in middle school. For Real. (more…)

There are two lessons I have learned this week courtesy of my oldest son.

1) Motherhood is emotional.
2) School requires way more paperwork than I am interested in filling out.

Monday morning I rolled out of bed, got my boys to school, got a coffee, and headed to our local elementary school to register my pre-schooler for kindergarten.  It is a good thing a friend of mine called me and asked about elementary school registration, or I would have totally missed it… Who would think they do it in JANUARY?  – Maybe I am just too new to this?

‘Tis the season for us Moms to really channel our inner sexy. Why? Because we are more than just Moms! Remember that time before we had kids? We were girlfriends, wives, lovers… something that we often let slip out of our hands under the stresses in our day to day lives. Nothing like dirty diapers, snot, spit up, and temper tantrums to make us feel sexy right?

Believe me, I know because I fell into that trap too. By the end of the day when the kids are in bed, I am in desperate need for a shower, and I just want to climb under the covers for three hours till the baby wakes up I don’t think about sex, or sex toys. Do you? That is where EdenFantasys comes in!

Moms! There is nothing wrong with talking about sex toys, or being intimate with your partner at all! It is perfectly natural!

If you aren’t into toys there is always all different kinds of lingerie to help you get your sexy back. I know sometimes putting on something pretty, and lacy helps me to feel like less of a frumpy mom and really get back to business like before the kids put a cramp into things.

There are some of us who don’t want to talk about but for those interested in checking out more of what EdenFantasys has to offer, they even have a blog called EdenCafe. Totally worth checking out!

Do you ever feel like you have fallen off the sexy bandwagon?
