“Be Mine”
Happy day after Valentine’s Day MAMAs! Cupid has a moving target when lovers become mothers…our hearts are full…it’s just that our heads are spinning. Which reminds us of a spin cycle, which reminds us of overflowing laundry…so guys, “you gotta give a little, to get a little.” That’s the key to a busy MAMA’s heart.We asked MAMAs what you really want for Valentine’s Day and you responded by “Redefining Romance.” So,if you need to make Valentine’s easy for your favorite fella, you can spell it out for him…R-O-M-A-N-C-E!Click to find out what our flirty mnemonic means, what our CELEBRITY MAMAS want for Valentine’s and what the Chicago Tribune had to say about you!
MAMAs – we hope you get lots of homemade Valentine’s, some help around the house…and hot sex! (-: Happy Valentine’s Day.
Change begins at home™…and it starts with YOU!

Happy New Year MAMAs!
Nothing like a new year to put the past behind and look to the future. Most of us look forward to the fresh start that comes at the stroke of midnight – a brand new year full of possibilities. So much promise wrapped up in one MOMent.
As moms, we know it is really about all the delicious little MOMents throughout the year. We always have a lot on our plates, so maybe “don’t bite off more than we can chew” should be our party line this year? In 2011, set realistic expectations.
Let’s give ourselves a break from outlandish resolutions and just keep it real and do what we can do – throw out the granny panties, count left-overs as making dinner, don’t scream at the kids every day. Let’s cut ourselves some slack this year and just resolve to do the best we can for our families and ourselves.
In our weekly opinion poll, more than half of you said you wanted to be the best mom and “the best you that you can”…that’s a lot. So, let that be enough MAMAS.
Starting fresh is something we all can revel in at midnight (yes – if you are on the West Coast, New York New Years counts!)…so, share a toast with family & friends to ring in the new year and remember to take it day by day!
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy 2012!
Change begins at home™…and it starts with Opinionated MAMAs!

“Expect the unexpected”
MAMAs are never without our special, seemingly bottomless “backpack” (designer or not) loaded with everything from retainers to undies, sippy cups to snacks.
But, even we can get thrown for a loop, especially when Mother Nature decides to exert her power. We know we can’t fool that MAMA, especially when she is all whipped up!?! So, the lesson learned is that we need to prepare our families for hurricanes, tsunami, fire, flood, tornado, quake…whatever the “zone” we live in requires. Are you prepared?
MAMA’s are good at taking care of the little emergencies, but let’s not forget to prepare for the big ones, too! Be safe MAMAS!!!
Change begins at home.™

Happy Friday MAMAs!Our kids are back to school after spending the summer with our undivided attention (sorta). Just when it seems like we’re gonna get a MOMent to ourselves…boom…election time! Now it’s the politicians clamoring for our attention and our vote.When our KID-Os want us, they whine, stand on their head, hop on one foot, make lots of noise, throw spit wads and generally act up…they pull out all of the stops! We see the same behavior in our politicians – doing whatever they need to do to get our attention. It might be entertaining for a MOMent, but if we give politicians the attention they want for all the outrageous things they say and do, they will continue giving us non-sense. Let’s reward the politicos that tell the truth and are willing to work to solve the problems our country and our families face.Just like with our kids, we should not reinforce bad behavior - we need to reward the good behavior. In our great democracy, our vote is our voice – make sure yours is heard MAMAS!
