What
is MOM all about?
First
off, MOM
is not a parenting
magazine.
Let's get that straight.
We won't tell you
how to breastfeed
your kids, what
milestone little
Johnny should be
at, or why volunteering
at schools is super
fun!
No.
You know why?
Because we're
not parenting experts
and we don't claim
to be. What
works for us may
not work for you.
What
MOM does offer
is a
fun, edgy, breaking-the-stereotype
insight of
what a "MOM"
really is.
MOMs
are not all cut
from the same cloth.
We don't
all bake cookies
or tidy our houses
wearing a smile
and an apron. We
don't all make fabulous
cuisine for our
families at every
meal and we're not
always on the Parent
Committee at school.
In
our minds, a MOM
is someone who
uses
"Mommy words"
in front of the
kids (read that
to mean we
swear
like a trucker),
we drink
wine, we
make mistakes,
we serve Kraft Dinner
when we're rushed
and disorganized,
we don't always
take time for ourselves
(even though we
should), and we
definitely don't
take ourselves seriously.
We
are the MOMs who
don't
always play nice
with the other MOMs,
we laugh
at inappropriate
jokes
(which means we
loved Superbad
and Harold &
Kumar: Escape from
Guantanamo Bay)
and laundry is a
four-letter word.
We're
not going to pretend
we're June Cleaver.
Although our families
are always a top
priority, we know
that by putting
ourselves at the
top of our to-do
list is the best
thing we can do
for our families
and our careers!
Because
a HEALTHY, HAPPY
WOMAN is a HEALTHY,
HAPPY MOM.
Don't
worry about putting
on your "Mommy
face" with
us. Feel
free to be yourself,
your TRUE, AUTHENTIC
self.
We won't judge
your cellulite,
your PMS pimples
or your ponytail.
We
won't tell you to
lose 30 pounds before
you're allowed to
feel good about
yourself.
You
don't have to
smile pretty
when you're having
a bad day. And you
don't have to
worry about minding
your P's and Qs
around us!
You
are pretty damn
amazing JUST the
way you are!
Enjoy
us for what we are
because we are just
being ourselves!!
