I like to think of myself as a "cool mom", but as I am now 40 I am not so sure of that anymore....

You Know You’re a Working Mom When…

June 30, 2015 by thiscoolmom 1 Comment

You think Kraft Easy Mac is one of the best inventions in the modern world. Mornings are auto-pilot and by the time you actually get to work you have no idea what just happened. Your cubicle or office is the only place you can sit in peace. Going to the bathroom at work is something to look forward to because it's a fact that you can pee without tiny eyes watching! Your ...

Working Momma Rant

June 11, 2015 by thiscoolmom 2 Comments

The career of stay at home mom is one that I am not qualified for.  Although I love my kids dearly, after a few days home with them my patience is pretty much non-existent.  While some people think SAHM's have the life, I know that it is one of the hardest jobs in the world.  The amount of times I hear "Mommy!" from 5 pm-9pm is unreal, and I could not imagine hearing it all day ...

The Lost Years

A good friend of mine once told me that when her kids were little, she referred to that period of her life as "the lost years." I, right at this moment, am living through the prime of this special time. Our lives are crazy. The hubs and I both work full-time he works some extra jobs as well. We are blessed to have my in-laws watch the kids so we do not have the burden of ... Read More

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!
