Happy New Year!
Thank you for an amazing 2014! It was a crazy year for me. The kind of year that dreams are made of. The kind of year I never expected to have at this point in my life (or really ever). It was honestly all so unexpected and surreal that I’m still processing it.
I had so much fun making all of my crazy mom videos, so thank you for watching! And thank you for reading my blog and hanging out with me on Facebook. It’s been awesome. We’ve created a really unique, supportive community that I am grateful to be a part of. Thank you all for being so cool to me and to one another.
In other news, my parodies made a few “Best of 2014” lists I wanted to share with you. I’m so blown away to be honored in this way.

I also had a few posts go viral this year—the first one sparked quite a debate with “mummy to 2” who posted 45 times in an hour one night! I think she might have been hitting the mommy juice a little too hard, LOL. Here were my top posts for 2014:

Some of them made me laugh. A couple of them I had to turn off within seconds because I could just tell I wasn’t going to be to smiling. I like yours the most. Not sucking up or anything. You really put a lot of effort into your videos and they hit home each time. I have to go and get coffee now. I’ve been up since 3am and I don’t even have kids in the house.
LOL – thanks Nicole! Happy New Year!!!
Thanks for keeping me laughing about days gone by! My boys are now 16 and 11, and it is truly amazing how fast the time has gone by. I’ve loved reading your blog, watching your videos, and thinking of those days not so long ago when I wondered if I was the only mom who sometimes really didn’t enjoy every moment with her kids. Happy New Years to you and yours!
Thank you for being here, CarolB! It’s so nice to get the perspective from the “survivors” who have made it to the other side! xo
You manage to be deep and funny at the same time which is a hard balance. Love your blog. Hope 2015 is a great year.
Aw, that’s a hell of a compliment. Thank you! I blame my tortured childhood 😉
