  • The First And The Last

    There’s something about your first born that will always hold a special place in your heart. You will never forget the moment you first looked into their eyes or their first steps.

  • Santa’s Ass In Relation To Cookie Consumption

    It happens. Every single year, it happens. Without fail thanks to Rudolf. Christmas. I have to admit that, as an adult, I tend to be a bit of a Scrooge. I’m not 100% why I’m horrible at buying people gifts bu I am. I tend to grump around behind my children’s backs, mumbling and grumbling.…

  • Princess Ninja

    When the ultrasound tech looked at me and told me I was having a boy I could have shit myself in excitement. One of my biggest fears when I first found out I was pregnant was that I would have a girl. Camping I know about. Getting dirty I know about. Superheroes I know about.…

  • The Memoirs of Mommy Undressed

    I have the pleasure, used very lightly, to be taking an American Literature class with a bunch of…um…interesting human beginnings, one of which reminds me of a little boyfriend I had when I was 18 and in my first semester of college. Let me elaborate, he fancies himself rebellious and mysterious yet well read. AKA…

I wasn’t able to travel the wonderful 5 and a half hours to attend said event but I still got an invitation…..and so…
