Mom Nation

Dear Mom of many, I have two kids.  Two very excitable boys who run like wild banchees throughout any event that we attempt.  The tantrums are loud, the stares are glaring and the judgement cuts deep. How do you do it? Seriously?  Is there some secret e-book that comes to your email with the birth [...]

While chatting with @AccustomedChaos on twitter one night, I came to the conclusion that droopy boobs are my future.  I’m a 36C, very average busted woman.  Not too big, not too small.  And no where near as full as they use to be.  We chatted about how we both, always, wear a bra.  Yes, I [...]

I was never the girl who had a millions friends.  Not a social butterfly, or a member of any clique.  I was always just me, and whoever happened the like the particular me I was at that time of my life, was welcome to come along for the ride.  See, I’m not perfect.  Far from [...]

Ok, maybe not the world. But we’re gonna try. Let me back track here a few steps. Not too long ago I started MomNation to be a place where we (real women) can post about the real stories of life. From being a women, to a mother, to a professional. Real stories, not so sugar [...]

Today I came to your house, and brought you the gift I knew you wanted.  I knew, because I asked.  And you were not afraid to tell me.  I love that about you.  I love that we can have a relationship that when gift giving comes around, we don’t waste money on ‘stuff’, but we [...]

A few mornings ago, I saw chatter on twitter talking about some inappropriate material that was shown on Treehouse.  If you don’t already know, Treehouse is a TV station full of child friendly television, and is, for the most part, advertisement free. Though I didn’t see the clip that so many are talking about, it [...]

When I found out I was pregnant, I was exhilarated.  Thrilled to find out that this little life was growing inside of me.  I loved him from day one.  But with pregnancy comes changes.  And boy oh boy does a woman’s body go through a crazy metamorphosis in a short period of time. I started [...]

I heard the news yesterday on twitter.  All My Children and One Life To Live will no long be…they’ve been cancelled.  I think I may have shed a tear or two at the thought of not being able to turn on AMC at 2 pm.  I didn’t watch it daily, heck, I didn’t even watch [...]

I just sent my almost 6 year old to his room.  I can, at this moment hear him sobbing.  And it’s killing me inside but I have to punish him. He came home from school today, acting completely normal.  I was folding laundry when he told me that a kid kicked him in the head [...]
