Pop quiz time! Let’s be honest, who among us doesn’t battle that nasty question rattling about in our minds, “Am I doing this right?!” The thing is, motherhood is all about making choices. I love the concept of moms being the CEOs of the household. Because it’s so true, but mostly because it makes me […]
Have Courage and Be Kind
As with most things that are culturally-relevant, I’m a bit behind the game. As in, entire world-wide trends will come and go, and I’ll miss them. Or an earthquake will happen next door, and I won’t notice. This usually results in me hollering at my husband, “Why didn’t you tell me about this?!” He’s all, […]
My Thanksgiving Hero
My husband thinks it was his suave demeanor and boss guitar skills that sold me on him. He was a catch, for sure, but he’s entirely wrong. What sealed the deal for me? His grandma. Yup, you read that right. Upon meeting my husband’s grandmother, I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I […]
The Genius of The Martian
I love, love, love my book club partner, Carrie of Normal Level of Crazy. I feel so lucky to know her as a dear friend on this earth. She is a talented writer, so smart, funny and REAL. And this month, she’s got the whole book scoop covered! Read on, fellow readers! ************************************* Well, I need to start […]
For The Mommas Whose Hearts Hurt
Last week was a tad on the brutal side for me. You see, I had dedicatedly laid the ground work to rock my Mom of the Year title by volunteering to help with not one but BOTH of my kids’ class parties. Yup, silly things like work assignments, laundry piles, and Mommy’s sanity be darned! […]
Who’s Your Thanksgiving Hero?
Seeing people who selflessly love on other people grabs my heart. It’s like a solid sucker-punch to the gut, but in a really wonderful way. It’s the act of people serving and giving of themselves that gets me. This life can be such a hard place, and when someone sacrifices to make the road easier or better for another […]
Keep Those Messy Hands Clean and Style It Up With Huggies Clutch n’ Clean
I’ll readily admit I’m a product junkie. Sold-out, full-on, no joke. It’s serious, friends. I love finding cool new items that are really cool, make my life easier, or are a sweet combination of nifty and helpful. So when Huggies introduced the most adorable wipes clutch cases ever last year, my excitement was substantially squee-y. Functional meets […]
First Time Visiting Disney World? You CAN Do This!
You might want to sit down for this announcement, friends: we have never been to Disney World.* I know, I know. Seems shockingly impossible. My poor culturally-deprived children will be accepting any and all sympathy cards and extra Halloween candy as condolences–but only for the next few months because here’s the bigger announcement: we are going […]
The Surprise Element
At my very ripe old age of 36, I feel like there’s not much about my day-to-day that could surprise me. The laundry/dish-washing/yearning for ginormous quantities of coffee to power me through my day is a routine set pretty solidly in stone. Even the more exciting events, like driving the minivan into the garage door and […]
Trick-or-Treating with Autism
Guess what, readers? It’s Halloween time! I know, I know. I really do my best here at Mom of the Year to keep you up-to-date with breaking news-worthy happenings. In any case, if you didn’t know, Halloween is going down in 8 days. In my naively innocent, pre-kid days filled with fanciful things like being […]
