You know your a mom if.....

*you've ever crawled under a crib at 2 a.m. searching for a pacifier like your life depended on it.

*you find yourself singing Old MacDonald in the car...alone!

*you have more children than dollars in your purse.

* baby wipes are more valuable than money at any given time of day in any given location.

*everything you ever need is on the floor of your car.

*your “me time” usually consists of daddy watching the baby for 30 minutes while you clean up the kitchen.

*you tell other adults that you will be right back because you need to "go pee-pee in the potty."

* getting up at 7 is sleeping in.

* You can talk on the phone, pack a lunch & breast feed all once.

*you can smell a stinky diaper from 3 rooms away

*You are too busy to realize you have to pee.....until you sneeze

My name is....

I just want to mention how GREAT these name labels are, especially for kids in daycare or school! I stumbled upon them one day when I was trying to figure out how I was gonna make sure what I sent to daycare came home. You can design them yourself and they have the most precious designs for a very reasonable price. Did I mention they are dishwasher safe! LOVE IT! They HAD to have been invented by a mom.

How does that much poop fit into such a small baby!

After too many "poop- explosions" you have to learn the hard way that saving a dollar on diapers by buying any store brand may not always be beneficial to you. Sometimes saving a buck is not worth all THAT! However after trying every diaper on the market and trying to pinch those pennies I have found, through experience, that Target brand diapers aren't really all that bad, and they come in such a cute fun polka dotted pattern. And while we are on the subject, Target wipes are amazing, they are strong and in my opinion, the softest wipes out there. You get 264 wipes which is 3 refill packs for $4.00. That's less then half the price of any competitors, and they are SO MUCH BETTER, not to mention the fact that they are also great for removing makeup, not that I know from experience or anything. Now I know some of you out there are name brand divas and have to have the "best" most expensive thing to wipe their baby's poop, but lets be real here. Most of us non first time moms will use just about anything, paper towels, Kleenex, a sock, a piece of junk-mail on our car floorboard. Owning stock in Pampers does not make you a better mom.

Rants from Mommyland

Hi, My name is Meghan and I live in mommy land. I am a mother to two precious girly girls Laylah (4) and Amaryn(11months). On top of that full time job I also have 2 other jobs which include, being a wife, (sorry honey) but it is a JOB, and being a scrub nurse in surgery 3 days a week for 12hrs a day. My life is busy and I don't have a lot of time for trial and error so when I find something I like/LOVE , I can't help but rant about it. Through 2 kids I have learned more then I thought my brain had the capacity to hold. Which contrary to what my dear husband might tell you is a HUGE amount with the HUGE brain that I have. ;) But I have strong opinions on certain things and whether you want to hear them or not, I am starting a blog about them. A lot of these things I will blog about are things I wish someone would have told me, especially with my first child, and the more I learn the more i'll blog to try and save some mom the trouble, money, and headache I've had to go through to find the things that actually work!
