Real Moms are Everywhere

I briefly considered going with a touchy feely approach, but ultimately decided that I'd go with irreverent and inappropriate as I think that we are all Real Moms and to say otherwise is un-momlike.

Real Moms don't hide the knives.
Real Moms keep the whiskey handy.
Real Moms believe in protein rich diets.
Real Moms let their kids fend for themselves.
Real Moms offer entertainment for Thanksgiving guests.
Real Moms find more time for family by eliminating silverware.
Real Moms take a European, stand while you eat approach to meals.
Real Moms make fun of themselves in the interest of making other moms smile.





Posted for the Real Mom Truths contest. The winner will receive this amazing 4G iPod Nano and Chocolate gift set, plus a link to their post on True Mom Confessions on Mother's Day.

The rules: Complete the statement "Real moms ..." along with an original photo.

You always make me laugh.

(And if I had an e-mail address for you, I would have written you to tell you what a surprising and lovely comment you left for me today -- too generous, you.)

That is so freaking FUNNY! You're a shoo-in to win. This photo reminds of a picture my mom took of me when I was a baby. I was sitting on my dads lap while he let me stick my face all over this huge honking drumstick of meat. Although thinking back, that may have been the first ripple in my quest for vegetarianism. :)

That picture is awesome, in so many ways. Love the babe eating turkey with abandon, love the woman standing by, glass resplendent with vino! Now that's a family I want to have Thanksgiving dinner with!

Real moms can pull off "Breakfast for Dinner"! with a straight face when they tell the kids they get a special treat that night.
