Monday’s Mother’s Day Gift Idea From MommyWarriors

May

2013

It’s not often that get excited over a new item for my kitchen but, I’m REALLY stoked about my new GreenPan frying pan! Even though cooking is not high on my list of things I enjoy, as a mom, I’m kind of forced to hang out in the kitchen and make meals. Believe me, I’m not one to spend hours in the kitchen whipping up extravagant meals for my family. I do use my frying pan often since my kids are happy with the typical fried eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese, and chicken cutlets, I’m a pretty simplistic cook huh! I’m ...

Hoax or No Hoax?

May

2013

Scary when it hits home. Hmmm, my daughter got the text about this yesterday and then my son saw it on Twitter. When it’s your kids school in question and friends in local police departments THINK it’s a hoax, as a mom, do you send your kids to school? If you think this stuff won’t happen where you live, think again! View more videos at: http://nbclosangeles.com. MommyWarriors.com

Are Today’s Teens Materialistic?

May

2013

When I was a kid, I worked my butt off doing chores around the house and spent my weekends at a minimum wage job. I cut the grass, shoveled snow, painted the deck, cleaned the pool, you name it, whatever had to be done around the house, it was the job of the kids. My dad only showed us one time how to do something and then we were on our own to figure it out. As a young teenager I knew how to change the oil in the tractor, re-shingle a roof, tile a bathroom and even sheetrock and spackle. ...

The Battle Over the Hot Water in the Shower

May

2013

If I have to hear my kids battle it out one more morning over who’s using up all the hot water in the shower, I’m going to explode. Everyday it’s the same thing, it’s a race to see who’s getting up first and getting in the shower for the hot water. In our house, the saying if you snooze you lose is SO appropriate. It’s getting so bad that my kids stay in the shower even longer than they need to just to piss each other off. When I’m downstairs in the kitchen, it’s like an all out war upstairs. ...

My Other Two Babies!

Apr

2013

With the weather in SoCal getting warmer by the day, my doggies are having a hard time adjusting to the change. The other day I took them for a walk later than I normally do and it was quite hot. Needless to say they were not happy campers. As we came up a hill, their tongues were dragging and they ran to a shady spot. At this point, they laid down and looked at me as if to say, “we’re done.” I waited a little bit to give them a rest and then tried to pull their leashes but they ...

Mom’s Email Is In Overload From All Those iTunes Purchases!

Apr

2013

The other day I received an email from Yahoo that my account was close to suspension because my account was over the limit. I’ve never heard of such a thing and I’m sure the email was fake as they wanted me to verify my email account information so, I just deleted it. It did prompt me though to take a look at the amount of email that was in my inbox, as well as, what I’ve dumped into folders over the years. For the next hour I scrolled through all the crap that I have in my account and ended ...

Judith Hannan’s memoir, Motherhood Exaggerated, is an emotional journey of mother and daughter that chronicles a family’s battle with childhood cancer.

In Motherhood Exaggerated, Hannan gives a first hand account of how their family of five deals with Ewing’s sarcoma in an honest account of how it affected their everyday lives. Hannan never whitewashes the truth about this ...

The Hollister Gift Card, Not So Cool

Apr

2013

So Hollister, you may be the cool clothing destination for teenagers, but you have me, and a bunch of other moms, a bit perturbed. Teenage girls like to pick out their own clothes, since moms these days have ‘no clue’ when it comes to the latest styles, so the perfect birthday gift for these tween and teenage girls are gift cards to their favorite stores. One of the stores high on a 15 year old girl’s list is, of course, Hollister. Now I believe Hollister needs to re-think a bit of their marketing. Here’s a conversation between a mom and the ...
