Would you rather…?
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Tis The Season
Once again, we couldn’t resist a friendly game of “Would you Rather…” to kick off the holiday weekend. Last year we slugged a glass of Jones soda in Holiday Green Bean Casserole flavor — this year we are riding in a sleigh full of toys with the cast of Modern Family. Pick your favorites and [...]
Daddy’s letter to Santa
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Tis The Season
Dear Santa,
How’s it going at The North Pole? Participated in any flash mobs this year? Based on the increased number of Christmas specials on TBS, I’d have to think you have royalty checks overflowing your workshop. Hope the reindeer don’t eat them.
Anywho, it’s my pleasure to write you today and ask that you do, in [...]
The Season of Innocence
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Tis The Season
If I had to show you innocence, I would show you smocking on a dress. A cup of milk. Frost on a jack-o-lantern. A dandelion in a plastic cup. Sidewalk art made with chalk. The way a baby’s lips move while he sleeps. A toddler hanging an ornament on a Christmas tree.
I think of innocence [...]
Elf on the Shelf, The New “Supernanny”
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Tis The Season
As I said on my Facebook page, “Let the 2 a.m. ‘holy-crap-I-forgot-to-move-the-damn-elf’ crisis’ begin.”
We all know, December is one of the most laborious times of year. We dust off our SuperMom capes and quickly transform into the “get up at 4 a.m. deal finder, Clark W. Grizwold decorator, fruitcake-buying obsessive grocery shopper, wonder-twins-activate gift wrapper” kind [...]

Important public service announcement coming your way from the Big Kahoona here at SoMo. And it happens to have something to do with that little social media site called Facebook. You may have heard of it.
Anyway, are you ready?
Naughty Betty. Must “Like”.
I’m a complex woman, folks.
And WHY would you do that, my cynical friends?
WELL, BECAUUUSSSEEEE [...]

If the Easter Bunny could talk, he might say …
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Tis The Season
In my experience, the Easter Bunny has always been a quiet character, however, I’m certain that if he could converse with moms across America, his comments to us would go something like this:
1. You can thank me later for NOT hiding an egg inside your “secret” drawer by the bed.
2. Carrots vs. cookies. I’m thinking [...]
Merry Christmas

We want to wish you all a Merry Christmas from the moms at Southern MOMentum. We hope you all can find a little time between picking up wrapping paper and carving “the roast beast” to kick back with your favorite Christmas sweater, pour yourself a festive cocktail and take note of the wonders of the [...]
Top 10 Things To Do With Fruitcake (Besides eat it)
Posted by Stephanie | Filed under Tis The Season
Why is it that there is always someone that STILL brings a fruitcake to Christmas dinner? (And is it a coincidence that they are usually over 75?)
