On August 25, My Mommy Manual and KMOV are hosting A Mom is Born. This is a virtual baby shower with a cause! Using the transition into motherhood as a platform, A Mom is Born will raise funds for the Missouri chapter of The March of Dimes while also celebrating new life. This is only […]

I promise I’ll have actual content up again next week. We leave bright and early for Mobile, Alabama for my cousin Whitney’s wedding. My sweet little cousin – she’s gonna be a bride. She lived with our family for a year when she was five – I was thirteen. She was my real life baby doll […]

Lemonade for Haiti
“Mom! Can I clean the bathroom?” “Uh…sure,” I reply, trying to keep my jaw from dropping to the floor. “Will you pay me a dollar?” Ah yes. The catch. “Why should I pay you a dollar?” I ask. “The bathroom is dirty because you made it dirty. Don’t you think you should clean it up for […]
