I Won't Blog About 'Mom Stuff' When I'm a Mom


I read some blogs over the weekend on my Bloglovin' iPhone app. I was pretty excited when a day later there was an update so my blogs are all sorted by group now like they are online. Anyway, to get on topic, I read something on a blog that stuck with me. Annoyed me, I suppose. 

It was a post regarding 'things I'll never blog about', and this young, childless female said she'd never blog about 'Mom stuff', even when she had a kid. Really?

A child is the biggest, craziest, most important thing that will probably ever happen to you. That little baby can't do a thing without you, and all of a sudden you can't do a thing without them. It's a major life change. Your life revolves mostly around that little person, whether you want it to or not. 

I didn't think I'd turn into a mom blogger. But I turned into a mom

How can you not blog about 'Mom stuff' ie: YOUR CHILD. That's like saying your kid won't be important enough to talk about. 

So enjoy continuing to blog about your parties, friends, and weekends away when you have kids. Although I doubt you'll be doing much of any of that stuff. 

It's hard to have cute, child-less stories for your blog when you're life revolves around poop and spit up. 

Just saying.

Discriminating Contest Rules

I am subscribed to Redbook, although I'm not saying this as advertisement. I was flipping through the issue I just got in the mail and came across the giveaways. I was bored, so I said 'what the hell', and decided to head over to the website to enter. I found one I wanted to enter, and looked at the rules. And here they are: 


Seriously? So if you're Canadian, you need to answer a skill-testing question, but if you're American, you're good to go? Is that how that works? 

I can't figure out if they're trying to piss me off because I'm Canadian, or if they're implying that one or the other isn't smart enough to win their giveaway. Are Canadians so dumb that they need to prove their skills, or are Americans so dumb that they just don't have to answer?

Seriously, why do I need to answer a question only if I'm Canadian?
