It's not the size of the ring it's the size of the man

Being engaged is what every girl looks forward to. When, where, how and most importantly the ring!!! You want a certain cut, shape, and of course SIZE. All women hint to their man what kind of ring they want. And sometimes push. I know many instances where I did it and so did many girls that I know.

I may not be the most mature mom -- though I’m definitely the wildest! -- but I have learned over the years that size doesn’t mean shit. It’s whether or not you got the right man. In my opinion, women should have it all – that means the right man and the huge rock. If you have that, then way to go!!!

I’ve met plenty of girls that get engaged and get the ring of their dreams. And I absolutely could not be happier for them. But in some cases, when you get down to the nitty gritty, their man doesn’t always let them do the fun things that this party mom gets to do.

Now, take me for example. While some people might not be blown away by my engagement ring, to me it’s simple and gorgeous. But my man is perfect and wonderful!! Believe me, he shines bigger then any fucking ring. Let’s be honest: I do love nice things, and I do end up getting almost everything I want. But at the end of the day, my man is the big rock that I love to show off.

So take my advice ladies. When you’re out researching and looking for that perfect ring you want do the same when shopping for that perfect man. Will he support you? Will he love you? Will he go out and have fun with you? Will he give you an amazing life full of happiness and security? And will he sparkle forever???

As said before it’s the size of the man not the ring so I would definitely check out that manly package before you commit to it. If it’s tiny then life may get a bit boring!!

Viva Las Vegas

Vegas Baby!!! It’s the spot and my BEAUTIFUL, DYMANIC, baby sister got married there and it was off the F---ING hook!!! 2 babies, 2 nannies, hubby, and I jetted off there a few weeks ago to celebrate! The crowd started to arrive on Wednesday and that began a LONG, DRUNK, gambling weekend of DEBAUHERY.

Over the next 5 days we did it all!!! An amazing rehearsal dinner with 200 hundreds guests. Pool time with cabanas, shots of Patron, cocktail after cocktail, and tons of laughter with friends.

The I do’s began Saturday around 7pm. Sister looked GORGEUOUS and her smile was GLOWING. I had tears in my eyes while watching my dads best friend walk her down the aisle, but could not be prouder to see him walk in dads footsteps. The rest of the night consisted of intense partying, drunk dancing, a surprise visit from Elvis and many other parties behind closed doors. I had the time of my life!!!

You’d think that Saturday was our last night in Vegas, but hey try Sunday. We spent the day relaxing, packing, and enjoyed a DELICOUS dinner with wine and dirty martinis. And to end that last night we stopped by the crap table and put money on the hard eight for my dad. People say it’s the worst bet, but to me it was the best one we made all weekend. If it weren’t for him none of us would have been in Vegas that weekend and if it weren’t for him my sister would not have had such a fabulous wedding. So with that said I felt as if we won!!!

You’d also think this party mom would be over sin city, but hell no! I went back for more in less than 2 weeks for a bachelorette party. I landed and did it all over again minus the kids, nannies, hubby, and wedding. Pool time, bar time, and it could not have been more fun and more disgusting. The laughs were insane and the smiles were shinning. And when I walked in the door on Sunday night I was hoping for maybe a little shut eye or a nice cold shower to get rid of the sweats, but I wished wrong. I was home for less than 5 minutes and jumped back in the car to take my precious little baby girl to the doctor. She had a fever of 104 and completely lethargic. Three hours later and a shot of antibiotics my baby was feeling MUCH better and so was I.

So remember readers live life like a rockstar. Party hard, be a hell raiser, live each day to the fullest, and never miss out on an opportunity to celebrate. People will only talk if you do!!

Until next time,
Party Mom

Only The Good Die Young

It’s been a year since my father has died. He was the BEST!! You couldn’t say a bad word about my dad. He had the greatest smile which was contagious. His death was unexpected tragic and to me unexplained. It’s taken me almost a year to start feeling normal again. And from that I mean new a kind of normal

Now a year later bad luck struck again to my family’s immediate group of friends. Another man, father, husband, brother, son, friend, and an UNBELIEVABLE person was taken away again. It was so sudden and so quick that we were in shock. It felt exactly like when my father passed.

Both of these men were linked now more than ever. They had children who grew up together, wives that were friends, and they each had the BEST dispositions EVER. These men were the life of the party, most loving, and shared the same group of friends. Oh and both could pound the hell out of some vodka.

Since the passing of these 2 men I ask why. Why would the best go first? Why do the good die young? Maybe angels were needed in heaven because if you ask anyone that’s what both of these men are. They were the strongest, biggest protectors of their families, and loved by all. Always the first to step up to the plate for anything or anyone. Not to mention always the first and quickest to pick up the check, and always to lend a helping hand. To me that’s what angels do.

From these passings I think we all should learn to live everyday to the fullest. Now that doesn’t mean going out and buying every pair of Chanel shoes or every Prada wallet. It means to take pride in yourself, always do your best, and always try to get the most out of life. You never know what life will throw at you. But when it's our time you want to be remembered as these men were. Even though they both passed way before their time, they each did so much, touched so many people, and it’s as if they lived until 120.

Until Next Time,
Party Mom

Some Things Never Change

As mentioned in previous entries one of my favorite things to do is go away with my girls. We do nothing, but party our brains out and laugh CONSTANTLY!!!
A couple weeks ago I celebrated my sisters bachelorette party in Chicago and it ROCKED!!!

As usual this crowd did it up. The liquor was flowing and the high was strong. The amount of room service was outrageous and the noise complaints added up. A hummer limo and best friends. What could be better? ABSOLUTLY NOTHING!!!

As I looked around over the weekend its funny how things have changed. half of us are married and have kids. We all have jobs of some sort and partying hard two nights in a row is definitely something that most of us had not done in a while. And that even goes for this party mama!

BUT WE DID IT!! And nothing really has changed us. We still laid in bed all day laughing and acting like 2 year olds. We still managed to order more room service that we could afford and we were still our obnoxious selves. I loved every minute of it.

I wish and hope that every girl has friends like me who no matter what make time for weekends of fun. And while half of us went home to our husbands and children we always look forward to the next time. And might I add that after having no sleep, being hungover as hell, and feeling like I could throw up everywhere this mama jumped on an early morning flight to get back to her screaming babies and husband. Leaving just enough time to shower off the smell of liquor, clean the house, mop the floors, fold laundry, double check the diaper bags, and return back to the airport that night to fly 14 hours overseas WITH the kids. I thought there was no way I could do it, but I did and it was worth every drink!

Until Next Time,

Must Be the Money

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!!!

Until Next Time,
Party Mom

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!!!

Until Next Time,
Party Mom
