by L.K. Whitney I’m exhausted, girls.    Really, I think I’ve passed the brink.  Here I find myself zooming full speed ahead, well beyond my comfort zone.  This new life, this concept of “motherhood” and “the matriarch” and “the wife” –oh, it’s all so… overwhelming.  All that...

What do you need in order to have a fun St Patty’s Day playdate? Shamrocks, pots of gold, lots of green and some little Leprechauns, of course! Since everyone seems to gather in the kitchen, let’s start with food. This can be as easy or as involved as you want it to be. For a simple plan,...

Our first get-together was a huge success! We wanted to thank all the lovely ladies who were able to join us. We ate some delicious queso while we got $3 margaritas and $1.50 Coronas! The tacos were divine, with the catfish taco being the favorite. We mixed, we mingled, we even made a few facebook...

Angie - This week I was forced into my “New Thing” and I was/am not pleased. When I learned that Target was no longer carrying my brand of hairspray, I was forced to venture into trying something new. I don’t like trying new things when something is working for me and I love them. So...

Sushi is delicious. Birmingham has its fair share of delicious sushi restaurants. We at BirminghamMommy love it and we want to share the fun with our kids. The only problem is that most kids aren’t really comfortable with seaweed and tuna. So when we see a problem, we find a solution! We got to...

As a Birmingham Mom I feel incredibly fortunate to have not one, not two, but count em’ 3 incredibly awesome medical facilities in close contact to me. Four if you want to count Children’s Hospital, but as far as being near a facility that can fix anything that ails you, Birmingham has everything...

Times have changed and both parents don’t always come home at 4pm everyday.  For a lot of today’s families, one parent boards a plane while the other stays home and holds the fort down.   It is hard on everyone involved, and it takes a lot to keep from feeling sorry for yourself.  I have...

by Amber Bordelon I’m fairly certain that my children aren’t the only ones who have too. much. stuff. When we bought our house as a newly married couple, it seemed spacious and comfortable. Fast forward 5 years and 2 sons later, and I’m being buried alive by onesies and toy trains....
