Life with Dudes Never Looked So Pretty
It’s amazing the impact that Netflix has had on our world. I honestly do not even remember what life was like before it? I mean seriously, how on earth did people chill?! And, for those of us that are parents, how did we shower and talk on the phone and like cook dinner?! I kid. I mean mostly. Of course my children can entertain themselves
Last night I went to bed with an aggressive, total jerk of a migraine. It was one of those days –hurried and destined to exhaust from the onset. Up too early, rushing, but still late, waiting in places I had no time to wait, more rushing, last minute planning, work deadlines, kid issues, first days at new things, and to top it all off it
I haven’t been pregnant for a long time. I joined Team Motherhood over 16 years ago and my youngest is 10 years old for crying out loud. In the land of baby making that is ages ago. Long enough to forget that waking up every hour to meet someone’s needs while they scream at you is not fun or cute. Long enough to have lost
I’m going to say something that is probably gonna get the gender police all riled up, but raising boys is hard. Keep your earrings on, and note, I did not say raising boys was harder than raising girls. I am not a boy mom who is about to tell you that.

I didn’t have much adulting under my belt when I became a mom so it’s no wonder I made some parenting mistakes along the way. Dude 1 was born just a few months after my 23rd birthday, a year after I graduated college, before DudeDad and I even thought about getting married. Despite my inexperience, I had all of the ideas about what kind of
I’ve been struggling lately with giving you guys interesting things to read. Not because I don’t have ideas, I have plenty of ideas. It’s time I’m struggling with. Lately, I just don’t have time to focus my ideas to create engaging stuff people actually want to read. Just work, and kids stuff, and more work, and more kid stuff, and cookies. Some evil children came
Being a mom is probably the single most life changing thing to have occurred to me in, um, like, for always. I can’t think of another life event that changed my person so dramatically to this point. Perhaps that makes me fortunate, maybe it makes me boring, I can’t be certain. What I know for sure is that it makes me, me. Part of me
When Dude 3 came home in kindergarten lamenting is life without an Elf on the Shelf, I realistically, for the first time in life, thought about homeschooling. Stupid school and stupid school kids with their influence and pressure to conform and junk. We aren’t lemmings! I DO WHAT I WANT! THE MAN DOESN’T OWN ME! I went to Target the next day and dropped forty
You guys know how we feel about movie nights. It’s sort of our jam over here at DudeMom. Christmas Eve day we will fiiiinally be able to check out the new Star Wars (yes, waiting is torturous, but we promised we’d see it as a family, so yeah). We have tickets for an early afternoon show and we could not be more excited! The cool
