Dear God...A Mommy's Prayer

2014-05-14T13:00:00.000-07:00

Dear God, I know that for years- even when I was a little girl I prayed for the day I would become a mother. You heard me and in Your infinite wisdom You knew it was something that I would NOT have been ready for in my 20's. That's why you didn't have me meet CJ until a few years ago. I LOVE being a mom about 92.8% of the time but it's that 7.2% I'd like to chat

Do Ugly Babies Exist?

2014-01-09T18:08:00.000-08:00

Now some of y'all are going to have some issues with this post, but I'm not here to people please, (well, not entirely.) I'm here to tell it like it is and to tell the truth- and hopefully give you a chuckle. As a mother of an almost toddler with a new one on the way I am smack dab in the middle of the baby storm. Part of this "Babynado", if you will, includes the much heated debate on

The Gospel According to Karith: What I Would Tell My Pre-Pregnant Self

2014-01-05T20:10:00.000-08:00

While being a mother has truly been the most awesome thing I have ever done in terms of love, time, energy and effort there are things I wish I would have known/done before I became one. I'm not mad, but feel like my friends who did this before me should have done a better job of warning me. Maybe they did, but like most impending moms I was just too excited/ scared/ nervous to listen, and my

New Year, New Baby!

2014-01-01T13:12:00.000-08:00

'Cause why the heck not?! Some people plan their kids so they're spaced out evenly over every couple of years. Those people have the luxury of time. So if you can do that- more power to ya! Just for the record, I planned this baby too. I planned for it not to be still inside of me in the sweltering summer heat. Fool me once Mother Nature shame on you...fool me twice...

A Whale Of A Time

2013-08-21T04:12:00.000-07:00

I think it's safe to say that a good portion of Americans use the word AWESOME- constantly. That word may have become mainstream in the 80's but unlike big hair, pop rocks and A Flock of Seagulls it has remained. (To be honest I think I only miss Pop Rocks). No question, "awesome" is WAY overused and let's be honest, rarely are the things that we call "awesome" truly

Let's Talk about SEX (after) Baby!!! Let's Talk about You and Me!

2013-07-28T00:31:00.003-07:00

Hah! Now that I've got your attention and put that Salt n' Pepa earworm in your head I can share with you a little something that most new parents are dealing with. SEX. Well, rather the lack there of. Not for lack of wanting it, but for lack of opportunity. Why?! Because of this new little amazing person who ironically got here because you enjoyed sex in the first place. *

A Dear Kate is WAAAAY Better Than A Dear John

2013-07-12T22:29:00.002-07:00

I like to think that I have A LOT in common with you. And by you, I mean my amazing audience of mommies, soon-to-be mommies and folks who accidentally wandered on to this site because you randomly Googled the word "panties." (I'm not judging) Fyi this is NOT me modeling Dear Kate's Starlet Collection, if it were the skin would be browner and thighs touching. I like to think our

The Chiuhuahua vs. The Child

2013-07-03T01:19:00.000-07:00

I knew that this day would come- rather I hoped it would come. Although I must admit I had mixed emotions about the day my REAL baby would take precedence over my dog baby. I didn't fully believe it was going to happen. I mean for almost four years this Chihuahua was my life. She went with me everywhere! She came to the studio of my morning radio show almost everyday, social

Wine is OUR Friend- Hence the Creation of MommyJuice Wines

2013-07-01T02:26:00.003-07:00

That's right! I said it- Wine is Our Friend. Just ask Hoda and Kathie Lee. I think it's been years since they've gotten through the 4th hour of the Today Show without getting half lit- God love'em. But there should be no shame in their game. As someone who's never been much of a drinker I have no issue with anyone else "getting their drink on" so long as it's responsible. However, when I do

It's a Miracle #2: Basil Oil Cured My Breastfeeding Blues

2013-06-22T02:12:00.001-07:00

MAJOR UPDATE: Hello to all of you amazing mothers who are struggling with your milk supply as I once was. I have to share this disclaimer because much of the information & photos that were formally on this blog have had to be removed. For example the specific essential oil I used- the brand and the link that you can use to purchase it- I can no longer share. This is based on a mandatory

Ahh! The Smell of... Arby's???

2013-06-19T06:00:00.000-07:00

Now before anyone gets excited or criticizes my choice of fast food. Let me just say here that this blog entry isn't about woofing down one of my favorite classic sandwiches from the very well-known and liked national chain whose logo I just realized is a giant hat. (You'd have thought I would have known that years ago- I just always thought it was a slightly retarded brown Grimace.)

It's A Miracle #1...How to Kill Fruit Flies (NATURALLY)

2013-06-17T23:05:00.000-07:00

I used to be one of those people who thought miracles were things only folks like Jesus Christ did and although I'm a HUGE fan- esp. of the water into wine one, I'll be honest I was a touch skeptical about some of them. I have a comedy mommy friend Jennifer Palumbo who echoes that sentiment beautifully. She has a great bit in her act detailing the level of her Catholicism where she

Have Kids? Will Travel!!!

A few weeks ago in NYC I was a guest on John Fugelsang'sTV show VIEWPOINT. If you're a follower of this blog then you know that I am now a bi-coastal MOMMY who is doing my best to keep up with my comedy, speaking and television career as well as being a full-time Mom. Since Baby Bean was born almost 7 months ago this kid has been to 8 of the 50 states in the U.S. and flown on about 20

You’ve heard of “party poopers” well in the beginning we were “poop party-ers.” See, you never fully appreciate the act until you’re the parent of a newborn and knowing that your baby is #1 at number two means you are at least doing part of the job right. Because what they leave in that little diaper means they’re getting all of nutrients and sustenance they need to grow into a mischievous

The Diaper Bag From Heaven

2013-04-11T10:36:00.000-07:00

Even though I'm bi-coastal, and every now and again I find myself on TV or radio I really pride myself on being down to earth and non-materialistic- which is quite a feat considering I'm bi-coastal, on radio/TV... and I grew up in Plano, Texas- where our unspoken motto is: It's not how you feel, but how you look. Your average neighborhood block in Plano, TX That said, I cannot help but gush

iPotty??? Ummm, How About iCan't.

2013-03-30T06:33:00.000-07:00

So this being a new mommy is wild stuff. I'm doing things I had no idea I was capable of like exercising unconditional patience during teething & sleep-fighting tantrums. I'm pulling out all the stops to breastfeed (See The Best Damn Lactation Cookies You'll Ever Eat.) I've also now been relegated from watching popular adult shows like Breaking Bad on Netflix to Sesame Street
