Diamonds and Dirty Diapers

What is this and Why do I care? You ask

The purpose of this blog is by no means to give advice to others as if I know it all. I am like all other moms figuring it out day by day while attempting to look like I know what I’m doing. I realized that I would have to get creative and figure out how to get things done. Examples of some of these things we moms unknowingly have to figure out are listed below:

Attempting to look well rested (I heart concealer)

Using your mouth, elbows, hips and knees as if they were hands (extra hands should be a product at Babies r us)

Trying to fit everything into a stroller basket that is too small

Trying to not let the stroller tip over when removing your baby (because my diaper bag is always heavier than the baby)

Strategically planning all outings around naptime..or pay the price

Finding all the elevators in the world

Making anything into a changing table and trying to make sure nobody is looking ( so far I've used my lap, my car, benches and more that I just don't even want to say)

Cleaning all the grossest bodily fluids off of your hands with dignity

Multitask like it’s an Olympic Sport (I can breastfeed a newborn, while feeding a toddler, doing the laundry and the dishes at the same time and take a sip of Diet Coke every now and then)

Suppressing all negative emotions until naptime

And more. The point is we are all at some moment experiencing similar things. I will try to focus on three main things while blogging (although most of my family has ADHD and I tend to go off on tangents) Divas, Diapers and Dollars.

Divas will focus on us the moms! Finally huh? And yes we still have the right to be divas
Diapers will address all things baby and toddler
Dollars will focus on saving money and being resourceful as well as product reviews
You can search any of these three topics and more to find what you are looking for.
