Podcasts are not just for us Parents: 10 podcasts your kids will LOVE

February 13, 2020 by thiscoolmom Leave a Comment

Silence is not my friend. I must have something to listen to at all times. Music will always be my first love, and talk radio comes in at a close second. I grew up listening to local sports talk and Howard Stern. I still listen to Howard daily (please don't hate). My time with music and Howard has been cut short lately, due to my unhealthy obsession with podcasts. True Crime ... Read More

Dear Son: We have been excitedly counting down for the last few weeks, and today is the day. You are officially a ten year old. Double digits. Before you were born, your dad and I thought we were living our best lives; going out with friends, staying up late, sleeping in, and honestly who knows what else. I remember times where I would be so bored because “there was nothing ... Read More

Summer Bucket List

May 23, 2018 by thiscoolmom Leave a Comment

As a working mom, my feelings on summer are mixed.  I love it for many reasons:  we don't have to worry about school stuff (i.e. picking out clothes, packing lunches, forms, homework), we get to go to the beach, the weather is fab and it is the season of Rosé.  Moving on to why I do not like the summer: my kids and teacher husband are home and have flex schedules while I am in ...

Thanks for visiting my blog, which is a work in progress. I'm a (cool) mom & wife with a full time job, trying to balance it all. My interests include Pinot Grigio, Netflix, blogging, fashion, the treadmill & reading celeb gossip when I am not busy packing lunches & wiping butts. Cheers!
