Mommy of a Monster

Brutally honest and a whole lot of fun, Natalie is the creator of Mommy of a Monster and Twins. Her blog is a great place to go when you need a little mommy pick-me-up, a glass of wine or even a Brazilian Butt Lift. When she's not chasing her three monsters, ahem, kids around the house, Natalie is penning her hilarious and heartfelt posts or hiding in the closet and drinking wine. Wait, did we say that out loud? We meant juice. Anyway, if you've ever feel alone in a Monster Mommy Moment when you overreact, scream at your kids or have some otherwise awful mom fail, pop on over to Mommy of a Monster where you can read the confessions of tons of other good moms just having a bad day like you.
