This S#%& Is Bananas! B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!

When your day consists of cleaning up other people's vomit, chasing away monsters, making up songs about diapers, talking with your husband about the consistency of poop and praying your daycare doesn't notice the little cough - all while wearing two sports bras because you're STILL drying up - there's no better way to sum it up than "this S#%& is bananas...B-A-N-A-N-A-S!" We know the song reference is a little old, but as a mom, do you really have time to stay up on the latest music, let alone fashion, movies and books (all of you who know Heidi knows she was NEVER up on fashion, but I digress). We originally thought about writing a book on mommyhood during our maternity leaves, but that turned into writing a few paragraphs in three months because our little angels demanded a bit more time than we bargained for. Does anyone really have the idealic maternity leave of sitting next to the pool, reading a book while the baby sleeps peacefully?

Anyway, the book has turned into a blog. If you're looking for the mushy blog about how we treasure every moment of our kids' lives (even though we do), you probably shouldn't subscribe here. This blog will be dedicated to real (and hilarious), everyday stories of being a mom.

We are great friends who work together. Heidi has three kids - Owen, 7; Austin, 5; and Jaycee (finally, a girl!) who was born in October. Melissa is a first-time mom to Cambria, born in June. If we were sisters, Heidi would be described as the athletic one and Melissa as the smart one. We will both write individually, so look for Heidi's posts in gray and Melissa's posts in blue.
