Investigative Mommy Blogger

A website created by Kelby Carr, owner of Type A Mom, Foodie Mama and so many others, has recently started up Investigative Mommy Blogger.  Knowing that mommy bloggers are capable of real journalism.  In the true nature of Hunter S Thompson and the pioneering of gonzo journalism, Kelby has evolved blogging into the modern age of where print journalism is headed.

As a field contributor for the first investigation, I would like you to check out the site and the hard core report on Shopping Cart Safety.

A household with twins is not only an active household, but a household that has all the plates spinning and all the toilets clogged and all the hairs turning gray from system overload. Yet, it is also a house filled with twice the amount of love, hugs, kisses and memories to add to the scrapbook.  Throw in a toddler to the twin mix and you can never want for anything more.  Welcome to my motherhood!

Site Motto and Reason for Being:

I'm a woman, wife, mother, feminist, domestic goddess of all things important to me. I used to be a woman that identified with being a child that was abused. I disassociated with my mother and all things mother. Then I wanted to become one. Then I had to reinvent what that word meant to me. That is what my journey and my blog is about. Reinventing Motherhood so that it applies to me. Then I realized I'm not alone. We are many. We are strong. We are all reinventing motherhood!

Blunt, Honest, Awkward, Natural and Uncomfortable:
Parenting Reinvented for the Modern Mother

Having a 3 year old, almost a year old set of twins, a husband, a nutritious food plan, homework, pre-school with my toddler, developmental teaching with my babies, wife time, domestic goddess time and lastly me time is a lessen in controlled chaos.  Learn how to control the chaos in your household full of crumbs, stains and to be smooshed peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in your sofa.  Learn from my mistakes, learn from my lessens, most of all learn how to reinvent motherhood for yourself.  Stop measuring your own mothering skills up against other mothers, your mother, your favorite aunt, or whom every else you are measuring yourself up to. The guilt of motherhood comes from feeling inferior to others. Let go of that. Accept that we are all not perfect. Accept that there is always room for improvement and accept that we all will make mistakes and as long as were all doing the best that we can with what we have available to us and we use each mistake as a lessen to teach and role model how you dealt with it, for your children, we are all reinventing motherhood.Reinvent motherhood for yourself and people who judge you or are criticizing you are either jealous or control freaks. Smile and nod. Then turn away and keep on mothering to the best of your ability.  Unless you are abusing your child, putting them in danger in anyway or not putting their best interest first, then you are being the best mother you can be.  You are Reinventing Motherhood!

I'm Working My Blog Off Here...

Well, these days I describe myself as a mom to three individually unique boys.  One is a three year old, with a personality that fills  a room and my other two are as of right now ten month old boys.  Both of my twins are as different as night and day.  I'm pretty sure I have the only twins that can't stand each other.  Since in utero they have been fighting. One beats up the other and the other cries, then gets revenge later, all while smiling at me.  As if to say "look mom, see I can stand up for myself."  They all keep me very busy and on my toes.  Still I make time to type my blog off, submit articles on the world wide web, take my kids on outings, clean my house and cook nutritious meals.  How?  Well, that's where my blog comes in.  Each of my blogs is a glimpse into my crazy, chaotic, unbelievable challenging life.  So read with a cup of coffee, read over breakfast, print and read on the run.  Let's just get one thing clear though.  I am honest, blunt and not your average mom.  I don't listen to Radio Disney and we don't talk in side language, like "golly gee" or "awww shucks."  We do however, live in real time and live our lives with love and to the best of our abilities. So sit back and relax, while I walk you through my crazy life, as I work my blog off.
