Teach Me How to Mommy

Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Schumer are not moms.  F it - we love them anyways. We love them for so many reasons, but mainly because they are two girls we wish we were or at least wish we could rub up against. Funny, talented, beautiful and oh so likable.  How did you get that way?   Until we find a mom we like just as much as you, you will remain our permanent crushes.  See you at the Golden Globes next year (perhaps Lucy can stay up that late to see you being you). Here's to girls' night on a work night.  It's worth eating a whole bag of popcorn and saying "screw it" to extra sleep, grading or cleaning.  

Auntie Erin Introduction: Auntie Erin took the second night of a long weekend when Mommy and Daddy had to leave Colin for the first time overnight  She not only jumped at the chance, she did so with open arms... and all while she KNEW full well that Colin was a less than perfect sleeper!  Talk about Auntie dedication. :)   We love our Auntie Erin <3 -Amy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A Moo and a Cheers! by: Erin Hayes Bubbles makes me a very happy Colin! Just like Amy and Colleen I am a teacher. My special needs students ask many questions throughout the day, but my favorite one is “How is baby Colin?” They have a genuine interest in the new things he is doing. They really enjoy looking at all of his pictures on one of the cabinets in the classroom.

Auntie Sara Introduction:  Let's just say this...

I’m going to be an aunt! It was a crazy thought and I was, to put it mildly, VERY excited.  After what seemed like an eternity, the day...

Welcome to Auntie Week! This week we are dedicating all of our posts to Aunties!  We love our Auntie’s the most, Most, MOST.   Aunties are special creatures sent to earth to spoil their nieces and nephews with extra love and treats.  Auntie’s kiss boo boos and teach you about Disney World. Auntie’s house is where you have your first sleepover, and eat pancakes as soon as you wake up.  Auntie’s sneak you the extra cookie, and Auntie’s teach you how to navigate Westfarms Mall like the boss lady that you know you are (or was that just my Auntie?)… Auntie’s only have one name, like Cher, Madonna, & Adele.  Auntie’s are your AuntieMommy.  :o) I myself am not an actual Auntie, but I like to consider myself a “fauntie”.  This is a term used lovingly in our family and literally just means “fake auntie”.  It was a silly way to describe the bond between Colin and his much older cousins, and it just sort of stuck.  It can also relate to non...
