What Veteran Moms Really Want to Say... ha!


Every time I read this one, I love it more.
Becoming a mother is like walking into a high school cafeteria. The cool moms, women who manage to get dressed and brush their teeth on a daily basis, sit at their own table. The moms who breast feed sit together, while...

  • Monica Steinmann Peterson The caillou one literally made me laugh out loud!!!!!
  • Heather Cefalia I love this...WHAT WOULD YOU ADD??
  • Cheli Mueller Hanley I would add, "parenting the way you want to parent is the right way for your child."
  • Heather Cefalia I would add : 1.you will/might cry for no reason, like ugly cry. like you might be at the pediatricians for a well check and completely lose it. it's embarrassing. but it happens, and who cares..except you, at the moment. ha! and it doesn't change after your first, I still cry at almost every appointment. do I need a shrink??? 2. you will/might need wine as early as noon on some days. As long as you don't have to drive anywhere, I'm not judging.  3. please don't project what you've found works with your ONE kid...I'm the oldest of 7, and if there's anything I've learned it's that every child is different...did anyone meet Gianna when she wouldn't talk to anyone??? There is no one formula. 4. LAUGH and loosen up...I"m the best mom when I remember this... I"m sure I have more...I SO need to get my blog going....
  • Heather Cefalia Cheli Mueller Hanley- love that...and so important...especially for first time moms...
  • Kathryn Richards I've done the cry at the doctors office! So embarrassing!!! I remember feeling so hopeless and like I had no clue what I was doing! And I love don't project what works with one kid! I only have one, and I give her the credit when something works.... Because who knows what may work with #2! (If there should be a #2)

I thought this was very sweet. My mom used to give me a letter every year for my birthday, saying specifically what she was proud of--I want to start doing that too.
The TalkAug232012 School is beginning. Many of you have written to ask me what our family “Back to School” traditions are. If I haven’t responded, it’s because I stared at those questions and thought: CRAP. I’m supposed to have Back to School traditions??? If any, I suppose our traditions are gett...

Trying for #2...tips for getting preg

Hello Ladies!!! I am so happy to be a part of this group... I have a 3 yr old spunky boy and am currently trying for number 2. We have been trying for about 4 -5 months and am wondering if it's time to get a kit to know when I ovulate...idk. Anyone else have any luck or issues? We didn't have any problem getting pregnant with the first baby, so don't think it's an infertility thing.
