Ever read Scary Mommy’s blog? I love good humor. I consider myself to be pretty funny actually. Most of the things I post tend to be a bit tongue-in-cheek. I always read, re-read and have my content edited in an effort to be as inoffensive as possible. I don’t shy away from stating how I […]
My Poop Stained Life: The Gifts That Keep On Giving
Perhaps this isn’t the most appropriate topic for the holiday season. I should be talking about the blessings and the joy and the gift of giving, but I’m a mom of 5 and though I do have much to be thankful for, I’ve got my poop stained life on the brain. You know how you have those moments of […]
Mommy Guilt
Do you suffer from ‘guilty mom syndrome’ also known as mommy guilt. I know you’ve heard of it. It’s that sick feeling in your stomach that you have somehow done wrong in the eyes of your child and it makes you want to cry. I know I get that feeling sometimes. How do you make […]
The Comparison Trap
Comparison is the thief of joy – Theodore Roosevelt So why then do we actively compare ourselves to the women around us? You know you do it, all women do. It’s the comparison trap! Recently I saw an article from People that reminded me of one I saw last year online maybe you saw it? […]
Mom Shaming is Overrated
Have you ever seen ‘that mom’ at the store and her kid(s) are having a melt down and you watch to see how she will react? Then you judge her on how she reacts? Yeah, I’ve been both the mom and the audience many times. I’ve gotten the ‘Girl, I feel your pain’ look and […]
Things You Can Say to a Pregnant Mom of Five
Ok, can I let you in on a little secret? #5 wasn’t planned. There, I said it. The reason I say this is because it’s the first and ONLY question people ask when they find out you are having #5. Now, I am not saying #5 isn’t wanted. I want this baby as much as […]
The Ugly Side of Parenting
I knew from a very young age that I wanted to be a mom. On my first date with my husband, I told him if I accomplished nothing else in life but being a mom, I’d be fine with that. And 12 years later I have done a fine job (if I do say so […]
The Preggo Workout (We’re not talking the Spaghetti sauce)
I’m sure after you read my Libido blog (if you haven’t, you now are completely intrigued and are contemplating clicking that link — I know how you think 😉 ) you probably thought, when’s Rebekah gonna announce she’s pregnant? Lol – Not anytime soon! But there must be something in the air, because about 9 women […]
I Forgot My Daughter On Christmas!
It’s true! This Christmas morning had me in tears and panic! How in the world did I let life become so sideways that I forgot my own sweet baby girl at Christmas? I would like to use the “Mom of 4 card” here but I don’t think I can pull that off. Don’t judge or […]
Working Out Together is Sexy
Once my husband and I had children, it became increasingly difficult for me to make it to the gym much less have that gym time together. As a couple without children, we could easily go spend an hour to an hour and a half in the gym together. It was fun and it was something […]
