Attack of the Redneck Mommy

As a chick trying to get by strictly on her looks, I have had to make some adjustments as time passes and gravity pulls. I now use sarcasm to fool the masses. I'm just now figuring out why my fondness for Kraft dinner and my penchant for potty talk doesn't make me a candidate for mother of the year.

Plain Jane Mom

My life in California with Mr. Plain and our sons Mike, Robbie, and Chip. We adopted our first child, Mike, after almost 5 years of trying to get and stay pregnant. Two days before we adopted him, we found out I was pregnant with the embryo who would later be known as Robbie. Mike and Robbie are only 8 months apart! 2 years later I got pregnant with Chip, and the rest is (very messy, smelly, and loud) history. Yes, it's true, we have 3 boys who are less than 3 years apart.

The Natural Mommy

I'm a mother of two, two and under. I'm a wife to a perpetual student. (Seriously, just graduate already - I mean, "I support you, honey.") I'm a child to the only Father who can claim to be Perfect, and I study under Him daily in hopes of learning from the Best. I believe in breastfeeding, cloth-diapering, co-sleeping, baby-wearing, and attachment parenting. Compared to the bottle-feeding, Pampers-wearing, crib-sleeping, day-caring world around me, I thought maybe that qualified me as a Natural Mommy.
