MOM PROFILES • WHO ARE WE and WHAT IS THIS BLOG ALL ABOUT?


Yeah, I drink beer with lunch. So?
NAME: Kristin
AGE: 30
KIDS: Girl - Age 5/Boy - Age 3
OCCUPATION: Mom/Wife, duh. Oh, and I'm a photographer/graphic designer.
CURRENT MOM EXTREME: I've been putting chocolate frosting in the toilet after putting my son's bouncy horse on it to show him that even Rody goes poop on the potty. (Post coming.)
AUTOMATICALLY MAKES ME YELL: Having to repeat myself more than two times.
RECENT "AWW" MOMENT: My daughter asked me to guess how much she loved me. She answered "the last number". My son asked the same thing and answered "29!"
                                    
Laundry or ice cream? Mmm.....ice cream.
NAME: Alicia
AGE: 32
KIDS: Girl - Age 8/Boy - Age 3.
OCCUPATION: Wife, mom, the usual... nothing fancy... I do eyelash extensions for women though, so that's fancy I guess...
CURRENT MOM EXTREME: Trying to create a month long menu complete with frozen crockpot meal-in-a-bag so I won't have to cook so much, and hopefully not clean as much either.
AUTOMATICALLY MAKES ME YELL: A particular scream that sounds like someone is kidnapping them when I KNOW they're just playing
RECENT "AWWW" MOMENT: My little guy wanting me to hold him with the baby sling so I can work while I hold him. My daughter looking at a pic of her baby brother and saying to me "awwwww I miss him at that age!"

WHY DID WE START THIS BLOG?
This blog was started after we began texting each other on a daily basis the trials and tribulations of being a mom, wife and trying to remain sane. (Hey, all moms are aware of dreaded "Telephone Behavior". What did our moms do without texting? Just not talk to anyone, ever?) We started by texting each other pictures of our trashed kitchens as confessionals to make ourselves feel better. After a couple of months, we have a huge log of hilarious text conversations with photos and thought it was great fodder for a humorous mom blog. Original, right? Heh. Well, we are hoping it will develop into a place where other moms will find comfort in knowing they're not alone in their insanity because let's face it. We ARE those moms.
