During pregnancy, nothing is quite as shocking as being woken up from a dead sleep by a strike of lightning (or a lightsaber) stabbing you in your vagina and your rectum at the same time. It’s like what I’d imagine a taser feeling like — but all up i…

As I’m sure you’ve seen, there is an adorable photo of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson “skin-to-skin” with his brand new baby girl, causing exploding ovaries everywhere. Most women know the benefits of skin-to-skin right after childbirth and all the amazin…

When I was a kid, Pippi Longstocking was my favorite movie. I especially loved the part where the kids cleaned the house by securing brushes to their feet and skating around the house — not gonna lie, I totally did that with dusters after watching th…

During my childbirth preparation class, in addition to the actual birth part, my instructor told the class about all the things we will be provided with on our “labor day.” She mentioned mesh panties, frozen pads, a squeeze bottle (for peeing), diape…

Hopefully you won't forget Mother's Day is on Sunday, May 13 this year, but if you do, thank God for Amazon Prime and it's free two-day (and sometimes even faster) shipping, am I right? Not only that, but Amazon Prime has a lot of thoughtful and sent…

Mother's Day will be here before you know it — Sunday, May 13 to be exact. And as usual, Target has anything and everything you could ever want or need, including Mother's Day gifts. While I'm sure the special mom in your life would be happy with a T…

Whether your mom wants to go by Memaw, Noni, Nana, traditional Grandma, or something completely off the wall, she hopes to be celebrated on Mother's Day this year, too. And it's double the fun for her, since she's someone's mom and also someone's gra…

Before becoming pregnant with our son, my husband and I curated a menagerie of fur babies. We currently have two fat cats and two dingy beagles living at what we lovingly refer to as the “funny farm." (You know, our house.) Before I got pregnant, we’…

Mother's Day is just around the corner, and I am so excited since this will be my very first Mother's Day. Even though our son won't be born until the end of May, my husband says he still wants to celebrate since I'm still a mom, even if he's on the …

Earth Day is coming up on April 22, and while it's a fantastic idea to do service projects around your community — like cleaning up parks — you could also brainstorm ideas of ways you can "go green" this year, and do fun projects with your kids to te…

For many moms, baby gear is essential for not only enriching her baby’s day and giving them something fun to do in addition to eating, sleeping, and pooping, but it allows moms to be able to set their baby down for one second. But baby gear can defin…

When I was growing up, before technology was everywhere and the internet was a thing (get off my lawn), learning how to ride a bike was a huge rite of passage. It was the only way to get around in my neighborhood, and once I perfected it, I would rid…

For me, the coolest part about being pregnant (other than feeling the kicks in my belly) is being able to physically see my baby. I was hooked from the very first ultrasound where I could see a tiny flashing “light” that was my baby’s heartbeat, and …

When my mom and dad found out my mom was pregnant, they were both in shock, as it was unplanned. In fact, my mom was at her gynecologist's office with my dad to ask about updating her birth control. However, nothing prepared them for the shock of whe…

Trying to conceive (TTC) isn’t always as simple as merely having sex when you feel like it. For some women, yes, it happens that quickly. For others, it may take a bit longer and they may be wondering what they can do to speed up the process or up th…

There are many schools of thought as to what the perfect condiments are on a hot dog, hamburger, or sandwich. Some people like them plain, while others like just mustard, some like just ketchup, and others like just mayonnaise. And some folks? They a…

First they’re sour, then they’re sweet — and now they’re ice cream. Sour Patch Kids ice cream is here, and I’m not sure the world is ready for this. Delish reported that “Instagrammer Junk Food Mom” spotted this strange treat at Walmart. The Sour Pat…

Both my husband and I wear glasses. And while some people think it’s irritatingly cute to see us together with matching specs, it kind of makes us worry about our son who is about to come into this world. I mainly need mine for reading and driving, b…

When I was a kid, there was nothing quite like waking up to the smell of ooey, gooey, deliciously sweet and cinnamon-y (that’s a word, right?) cinnamon rolls baking in the oven. My family was always a fan of the Pillsbury brand, and it was always a s…

As I’m nearing the end of my pregnancy, I was extremely glad to find out my particular hospital is “baby friendly” certified, which means they do everything they can to help you breastfeed your baby successfully, among other things. I’m planning to b…
