Welcome to The Mommy Diaries. Come as you are.

Let me be the first to welcome you to the inaugural edition of The Mommy Diaries. Every week in The Mommy Diaries, we will be discussing all things mommy. If it pertains to being a mother, it will be covered here.

Some future topics of conversation may include: sleep deprivation, "enlightening" stories about poop, how to cook 4 meals for 4 different people, why you bother to cook 4 meals for 4 different people when no one eats it anyway, how to clean pureed squash off of a textured ceiling, important occasions that require your "nice" sweats, loving your fabulous mommy body (it must be nice to be you) OR hating your flab-ulous mommy body (to each her own). All in all, you get to hear stories about my everyday not-so-glamorous life as a mommy that may make you feel better about your own not-so-glamorous life as a mommy. And along the way, I'll try to throw in some tips that make this mommy's life a little easier.

So kick back, relax... throw on your favorite ugly sweats and grab a late-night cup of Joe. This is The Mommy Diaries.
