Money, it’s like hot and cold. It brings out the best and the worst. It makes you happy and sad. But hey lets all be honest here it sure makes everything a lot better and easier.
Being a mom of two a new home owner and not to mention a little high maintenance myself money can a lot of the time be an issue. It doesn’t matter if you have it or not. It’s how you do and do not spend it.
After sitting down with hubby and looking over my credit card all is could say is WOW!!! Neimans, bloomies, Saks, target, and about a million orders of sushi and cabs. I was shocked!!! But of course reassured hubby that most of those were gifts (sure)!
Spending is like being high as hell. You take home those new shoes, wear them to dinner, and enjoy them all over town, but a month later when you get that bill your stomach turns. Just as it is when coming down from your drug of choice and you want to throw up.
Yes, I love nice things, but what this mom loves more is having a good time. Give me some cash and I would rather spend it on memories with and WITHOUT the kids. Cabs, drinks, dinners, and friends are what I spend my money on. Get some cocktails in me and I become the next millionaire.
So how do fix this dirty habit? Not completely sure, but I am working on it.
Until Next Time,

Spice it up!!
Priorities when it comes to my life and many young moms are very important. You have to be organized, plan ahead, schedule everything and you MUST know how to multi-task. And as a young mom with two children under the age of 2 you better believe
SEX is one of those priorities.
When you are married and have children your life becomes chaos. You start tasks and don’t finish all of them. You make plans and have to change them and after a long day of spit up and diapers sex can be one of the last things on your mind. BUT YOU MUST DO IT!!!
To me sex is the key to a good relationship and hey who doesn’t feel good after a nice romper? If you don’t make time to do it then you’re missing out. That’s if your partner doesn’t suck.
If your spouse or partner is like mine you can’t get away with not doing it. And I LOVE it!! No matter what I look like, how much formula is on me, or even if I haven’t had the chance to shower that day- he is ready to ravish! How could I say no to a man that makes me feel so good when I look so shitty?
So ladies take charge of your home and it’s time to become a whore in the bedroom. Learn to be creative in making time for a nice afternoon sexcapade. It doesn’t matter how you do it as long as you get the job done. You always make time to sweep, fold clothes, and take care of everything around the house, so therefore make time for an afternoon orgasm. Believe me you’ll be whistling Dixie while scrubbing those dishes!!!

What a New Year
Happy new year!!! Hope you all did something fun to ring in 2010!!!
It’s been a month since I have slept through the night, sat down for a relaxed meal at home, had a clean shirt on for more than five seconds, and I just haven’t stopped running. My eyes are blood shot from the lack of sleep and the constant dryness of a freezing winter. After not sleeping I’m in the shower at 6am before hubby goes to work. I go from picking up one child to the other. I change one and I change the other. I sit with my son as he eats breakfast while I try to soothe my little girl who is trying to get a burp out. If I sit down for more than a minute it’s to go to the bathroom and I’m lucky if I get to do that at all. Wow has my life changed!!!
A week after I gave birth we closed on a house. Two weeks after that we moved in. Between all of that my mom and sister moved. And on top of everything I did this with two babies under the age of 18 months. It’s been wild but, I have lots of help, an UNBELIEVABLE husband, and the BEST family ever!!!
The term work hard play hard is pretty much my theme for the new year. In between taking care of my children, unpacking, cleaning, and running a household you better believe this mom has made time to go out. Dinners, holiday parties, and even a Widespread Panic show have been some of my extra circular activities. I’m learning to do it all and then take care of a newborn while the toddler is pulling at my leg. I’ve managed the art of mixing cocktails in the evening and pancake batter in the morning. I throw out beer cans and diapers.
Trying to juggle all of this can get VERY overwhelming. I’m a mom, wife, daughter, sister, and friend. And while I try to fill those roles to the best of my ability it can be tough. I’m human so of course I have the occasional breakdown. But when I look around and think all hell is gonna break loose I remember how thankful I am for everything around me. Life is too good and because of that I pinch myself.
2010 bring it on!!! You’ve started off challenging, but already given me the MOST beautiful family, house, wild nights on the town, and so many wonderful things to look forward to. After 2009 I am pretty confident this year is gonna ROCK!!!

Poor Tiger
I don’t condone cheating. Never have and never will. But are people really that shocked about Tiger Woods and his adultery??? I mean come on.
The guy is a billionaire (not millionaire), a celebrity, and always on the road. To be honest what woman doesn’t find money sexy??? And what man doesn’t use it as a source of power??? It’s a simple equation. Woman throws herself at man and man sees he can get some REAL easily. After it happens once he goes back for more and more.
Yes the guy is a family man and yes he may love his wife, but so what. That thing between his legs has its own mind and all it takes is a few good looking women, some bottles of Kristal and its ready to go. For the average billionaire this scenario happens all the time.
Maybe Tiger has a sex addiction or maybe he’s just a bastard who doesn’t give a shit. Who knows? But whoever is shocked about his affairs I think is plain stupid. The guy is a celebrity who has the world at his hands and can have anything at anytime he wants.
I’m not saying that all men of his stature cheat. What I am saying is that people should not be shocked and should become more realistic.

My Baby Girl is Here!!!!
Yesterday was awesome!!! My baby girl arrived at 2:29 pm looking perfect, beautiful, and healthy!!! Just as with my son, this was one of the best days of my life
Only 7 /12 hours of labor, an AWESOME pain IV, and an epidural this baby was ready to go!!! The nurse called in the doc and prepared the room for delivery. After ONE push, which was suppose to be for practice, TWO deep breaths and THREE minutes later I got that baby out!!!! It was unbelievable. My son was 3 pushes 15 minutes, and this time wasn’t even half of that. I may have not been the best student, but I deserve an A+ in getting pregnant, making babies, and giving birth! Needless to say, I had a couple glasses of wine in my hand as soon that baby was cleaned up followed by some champagne.
My little girl is stunning. She has beautiful features, skin, and the thickest black hair ever!!! I couldn’t believe someone of my light coloring could pop something out like that. Genetics are amazing.
Baby girl you have got some HUGE shoes to fill being named after your grandpa Larry. You must be super fun, wild, a bit dangerous, LOVE to party, socialize like CRAZY, be optimistic, generous, and smile, smile, smile. Also you must love to be with your family, be EXTREMELY popular, never be lazy, be hardworking, athletic, treat people with an unbelievable sense of kindness, and always remember your friends are family. Oh and how could I forget, you MUST have a heart of gold. You think you can handle all that little girl? I bet you can!!!

Cocktails Not Mocktails!!!
This past week my friends threw me the most perfect baby shower/birthday party!!! But as I think about it what’s perfect for me is not perfect for everyone else. The way I like it may not be the way my friend does.
It was at a hotel bar. Instead of baby bottles they gave me liquor bottles. Instead of clothes they gave me condoms. Instead of baby rhymes I got cocktail books. And instead of the typical food and mocktails this shower was strictly champagne and drinks!!! What could be better for party mom?? Maybe drinking the champagne and then bringing the bar back to my hotel suite for an after party. But hey, give me a few weeks and I can make it happen!
I guess I’m not the type of girl who likes showers. To me whether it’s a baby shower or wedding shower they both kind of suck. I mean they are super cute and most I go to are super beautiful and the food is always the best, but who wants to sit there and watch someone open baby clothes or pots and pans and play those stupid games. NOT ME!!!! But remember I love celebrations for anyone and especially my friends and family. I love throwing people parties of all kind, but dainty showers and tea parties bore me to death!!!
EVEN THOUGH THESE TYPES OF PARTIES ARE NOT MY CUP OF TEA I AM STILL THERE HAVING A GREAT TIME AND CELEBRATING THE OCCASION.
At any kind of party I truly feel that it’s not only about the person of the hour. It’s about everyone!! Even if your friends are throwing a party in your honor you should never forget what’s going on with them. The party was in my honor, but in my eyes it’s another reason to celebrate my friends who just had babies, my friends that are pregnant, the upcoming nuptials of my sister, and all the wonderful friendship and love in the room. Not to mention it’s the holidays!!!! It’s like the rule that you can’t wear white to a wedding. GIVE ME A BREAK!! You think no one is gonna know who the bride is if someone else is wearing the same color dress?
To me life is not as much fun if you make it all about you. The more to celebrate the better!!! So what if it’s your engagement party. Don’t forget about your friend there that just had a baby or that just got married too!
I thank my girls tons for making my night so fun and special. But I also thank each of them for their lives which offer so much for me to celebrate and look forward too!!! We wouldn’t have so much to talk and smile about it weren’t for all of us!!
Until Next Time,

Tis the Season!!!!
I was at Whole Foods yesterday and it really hit me that the season has begun!! I love this time of year. I walked around sampling every holiday recipe that they were giving out. I love all the glitz, glamour, and food that make me realize the season has begun.
Most people get irritated around this time of year. The mall traffic, Christmas carols, decorations, and over joyfulness gets annoying to them. But not me. Once Halloween begins I am SOOOOO happy. Fall is here. The weather is changing and it puts the biggest smile on my face. I love it when the time changes and you feel like it’s 7, but it’s only 6. It makes me want to curl up on the couch with the TV, hubby, and a nice scotch. Most people hate this time change. But of course not me and as you can tell from my blog, I am not like everyone else. When the Christmas music starts playing on the radio I turn it up so loud and sing my brains out. Lastly, my favorite thing about this time of the year is all the parties. Everyone is out and about celebrating. Restaurants, bars, and venues are filled with people drinking and toasting.
I used to wonder why I go to this extreme level of excitement this time of year and I realized it’s because of my family. We always make everything into a celebration. Whether my sister got a new car or it was just a pretty Sunday night we always toast and celebrate. Why not do it like this. Life is too short not to celebrate every minute you can.
So take my advice, readers. Enjoy the holiday season. Be happy, thankful, and celebrate with everything around you. Don’t get irritated over the nonstop jingle bell rock on the radio. Just go with it. Between the economic crises and life’s everyday obstacles, you are only going to enjoy this time of the year if you let yourself. Also in four weeks and counting I will be there celebrating with you. A new born in one arm, a one year old in the other, the music on, and a straw stuck to my lips sucking down some of my favorite scotch.
Until Next Time,
Party Mom
