@Mirimade Ruth and Audrey
Great Grandmothers name was Clara which we considered for our 10 month old before she was born.

I think when I became a mother I’m somehow superhuman now. I can get kicked in the ribs, take a head shot to the collarbone, slammed in my shins & my ankle bone nearly cracked from a hit from a walker & I keep on going. Before motherhood a paper cut woulda taken me out. #momlife

@InsecureHW Not good for the garden but I sure wish I had some cooler weather to look forward to. Today was a chilly 87 degrees Fahrenheit. Living in the swamp is muggy and hot pretty much 9 months out of 12. #southernsweat

Made a bowl of guacamole and then had to put little lady bug to bed. When I returned there was half of a teaspoon left.
Husband: Sorry I had no self restraint, but look on the bright side, you made a delicious dip that I can't wait to have again 😉#momlife #wifelife #DiplessChips

That quick moment you grab a can good and your child puts her mouth on the grocery basket. Then praying for the next 48-72 hours that sickness doesn't appear. #momlife #teething

If you like living in a never ending state of exhaustion, then having children might just be for you. #momlife #dadlife

Is it wrong that I'm trying to figure out how to rig a @Swiffer pad up to my 8 month old's walker? Learn to walk AND clean the floor!? I think I'm onto something, perhaps the VaRoomba #momlife #improvisedcleaning #keepingitclean

Being a parent is like being trapped in one of those breakout rooms. You can call as many times as you want for helpful hints, but the fact remains that even if you hit the emergency exit button you aren't getting out until you solve the puzzle of how the heck to raise these kids

Dear Dads everywhere,
I noticed that you’re able to close and lock the door when you use the bathroom.

What’s that like?

Sincerely,
Moms.

So I've written a children's book but I'm looking for an illustrator. In order to bring it to a reputable publisher I need the book to come alive through the illustrations. Anyone looking to collaborate? #momlife #booksforlittleones

After 3 hours of crying because she was tired, I put Baby Kakes in the car and drove around for 45 mins until she went to sleep. Now I'm sitting in the car in my driveway afraid to get out or the peacefulness will be invaded by screams once again! #survivingmotherhood

Is anyone else feeling as nostalgic as I am about Toys R Us closing? It's like someone forced us all to finally grow up! https://t.co/gBjyF0bsm5 #toysrus #closingtime

@LivnLifeLovnUs Beautiful story!

[A Southern Mama @ASouthernMama83]

Folding clothes and quietly humming a little tune. I stop and think to myself....what song is that? When I sing the lyrics aloud I realize it's the @pawpatrol theme song. #momlife #pawsforeffect

[A Southern Mama @ASouthernMama83]

@LivnLifeLovnUs Do you keep them private or public? If public, what forums do you use? Facebook, instagram or twitter? I'm trying to determine how to go about it but still protect my little one from the dark side of the Internet.

[A Southern Mama @ASouthernMama83]

Should we post our children's pictures on social media? Where do you stand? Pondering whether it's the right thing for my family. https://t.co/guDRm55jo2

Caution: Read ALL food labels! Baby Kakes has allergies to sweet potatoes & squash. Just fed her Gerber Macaroni and Cheese. After finishing, glanced back at the pack and it contains BOTH! #readbeforeyoufeed #badmomaward

Great blog! Some days feel like I'm on Survivor without any allies. For anyone that says staying at home with kiddos is easy, trade places for one week. They'll be singing a different tune. #momlife #juststeppedinspitup https://t.co/98uNjdLbCm

Can you relate? Read, "When You Love Your Kids But Not Parenting" from The Stay at Home Mom Survival Guide for a laugh or at least some sympathy! https://t.co/C1ErdH8FMN #SAHM #momlife
