Being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, or ADD (my doctor says that all ADD is actually Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, or ADHD to a certain extent) has saved me in a lot of ways, not saved my life, but…

It's inevitable that all children will lose their baby teeth. It's a sign of becoming a "big kid", a rite of passage. At summer camps and recess, children are often comparing what the Tooth Fairy left for them (I know I…

Guest post from Blaggie Plaggie: Babblings of a Mommy Doctor I asked her why she wasn't using any birth control. "Well, I don't think I can get pregnant." I asked her why she thought she was infertile at the ri…

We hope all you Momaroos have had a great week and are gearing up for a fun summer weekend! To get the weekend started with a little bit of fun, we wanted to share this cute video of dancing twins with you all. Look a…

My wonderful daughter I decided to attempt to feed her as I was eating dinner. Of course something happened where I ended up turning my back for a minute. The results from my lack of attention were not pretty.

There are moms who can do crafts and wind up with girly fairy wands, and there are moms who like me, simply can't. These moms have superpowers or something because I am seriously lacking in all departments of fun and co…

I'm 18 weeks pregnant right now and dying to know the sex of my baby! I can't wait to find out so my husband and I can narrow down our list of baby names, and so we can share the news with our eager-to-shop family and f…

Yesterday McDonald's announced that they were making some changes to their Happy Meal offerings to take effect in September.

A children's clothing and swimsuit company is supposed to have a website and catalog that appeals to children and parents, right? Both are tools to get the child interested, and to get the parent to approve and make a p…

My friend posted this on Facebook: "does not like it when stay-at-home moms call themselves full-time mothers. Apparently, because I have a job outside the home, I'm only considered a mother part-time. I was a SAHM for…

I really have no idea what to do, so I figure what better way to find out than to ask a bunch of mothers and expecting mothers. Last week I received a text message from a friend of mine. In that text she told me that sh…

When I found out I was pregnant, one of the major issues I would think about was child care. I was working at a day care, and I didn't want to quit my job, but at the same time, I didn't want to let someone else raise…

Somebody posted a set of "10 Commandments", a set of rules for the non-pregnant on how to treat the pregnant. Some of the things on the list apply, while others are kind of lame. I'll be making a few of my own edits her…

We prepare for natural disasters and economical collapses, but what prepares us for our worst mom fears? How can we prepare ourselves mentally and emotionally for kidnappings? We can spray the house for spiders and cock…

We currently have a Vera Bradley Diaper bag and a Columbia diaper bag. Well, these diaper bags drive me up a wall! Any recommendations for a new diaper bag? These are my requirements:

My 10-year-old daughter has entered puberty. She's whiny, emotional and a general hot mess on more than just your average occasion. She gets grumpy when I wake her up before she is ready to get up. But let's be honest,…

As of Pi Day, March 14, I was on the fast track to having a baby. My husband and I had only been married for eight months, but we accepted the miracle of life that God had provided for us. He told his army buddies and I…

Last weekend I moved house and jobs. Part of being a live-in au pair means living with the family and so when I lost my au pair job due to the recession, it meant that I'd also lost a place to live. Luckily, I had such…

Hi Momaroos! Have a post you'd like to share with the Momaroo community? Or seen a good post lately? You can submit posts here. We're looking for all kinds of posts: Questions you have on pregnancy, child rearing,…

This is a guest post from Mamatrue. Every time I make pasta salad, I feel stumped about what to put in it. I try to remember pasta salads I’ve liked in the past and what they actually had in them. So I decided to…

I suppose I should start off a few weeks ahead, since Orion gave me signs he was coming then. On June 29th (32 weeks), I was having contractions bad enough that I couldn't walk so I went into OB triage. They checked my…

I'm coming out of the closet and revealing to the world that I absolutely can't get enough of Radio Disney. It is some of the most upbeat and fun music I've heard in a long time. Plus? I seriously embarrass my kids when…

This picture makes my heart melt. She's growing into such a beautiful little person. She looks nothing like the baby that I saw just a few months ago. She's not the only one who has changed drastically though. I'm not t…

I live in South Carolina, where it's humid and sticky. I have a child clinging onto me, she's hot. We're both miserable! These are some things I have found recently that I ADORE. 1. Not Your Mother's Clean Freak Refreshi…

Last time I blogged, I was saying how I kept thinking I was pregnant. I did finally get over it (to some degree). Now we have a house and nothing is stopping us from having a baby, except my slow thyroid. I went to t…

I want to introduce you to my oldest son, B. My son is a newly dairy-free and developmentally delayed handsome little boy. He makes my world go round in a crazy, dizzy, chaotic way. You see, when he turned 12 months old…

It seems when I was a kid that spanking your child was the norm. I was born in 1982 and parenting has changed a good deal since then. When I was old enough to read I remember my parents having articles about appropriate…

I went to a Postpartum Emotional Adjustment Support Group this past week. Would you believe that it was standing room only? I echo the sentiments of the mom sitting next to me: "Are all of you here because of postpartum…

Of course you do. My choice to use disposable diapers is wrong. My choice to vaccinate is wrong. My choice to use formula is wrong. Everything I do is wrong, wrong, wrong. Why is that? Why is it that what one family d…

So, my mother kept my children while my husband and I unpacked for a full day, and she was bringing them up to the new house that day. I got a phone call that day that made my heart absolutely stop. Side note: My mom…

This is a guest post from OneSheTwoShe. It's been a crazy weekend. I think I've cried probably 20 times in the past 2 days. Blah. It all started yesterday morning, when I watched The Biggest Loser, that I recorded. D…

I don't know how to approach this subject sensitively, but I'll do my best. Marijuana has been on the news a lot lately, especially because it has become legal in some areas of our country. Although it is not yet legal…

This is a guest post from OneSheTwoShe. Image by The U.S. Army My kids have putting so much time and energy into making their marshmallow guns for the Fourth of July booth. But, it's still important to me that they…
