Guest Post - The OMG Mom!

I met Mandy via our Weddingbee blogging days. Her ability to cut the BS and be completely open are some of my favorite things about her. She has, seriously, one of the most beautiful little girls and it's been fun to watch her grow up on her blog. I was lucky enough to meet them both last November when we went to Vegas for my 30th birthday - I wish I was closer to hang out with them more often.

Hi, I'm Mandy. You might know me as that girl who peed her pants in the grocery store or maybe as the girl that got drunk at 9 months pregnant!

I had a STOOOOPID pregnancy. And then I wrote about how to pee after you have that baby because really---nobody told me about the squirt bottle you must spray your vag with so it doesnt burn off. Nobody told you either? Well, I wrote about it on my blog.

And then my dad started reading the blog, so I tried to post about how awesome a wife and mother I was (instead of stories about my ginatown)...because I think I still want him to be proud of me. And then I got hated on for feeding her a Lean Cuisine and for many of the dumb posts I write that made me sound like an oppressed wife....so I had to put an end to that.

Then, last year I got a divorce! Yayz. And I didnt go back to work. Still havent.

So, since I have no idea what to write about these days...I post pictures of my outfits and pretend that nothing is wrong!

Things I like include (in no particular order): Paul McCartney, not talking about feelings, my hair, Tory Burch, Target, Pinterest, leggings as pants, vacumming and Starbucks.

Things I love- My kid. She is my life.

I started blogging because I had ZERO friends when I moved to Las Vegas (from Orlando!), and I needed a place to get some feedback on the wedding I was planning. I blogged for WeddingBee, then about 3 months before the wedding, I found out I was preggo. I wish I had kept a pregnancy blog, but sadly, I did not. I started blogging again as a way to vent and talk smack and write down the funny things that happened to me after I had a baby. Also, I was the first of my friends to have a baby anyways, and so I had nobody to talk to. I was (in my eyes) overweight (I gained almost 70 pounds with my daughter!), and I felt like I was going through everything completely alone. And alone, in the middle of the night, when you've had no sleep, is not a fun place to stay. So, the blog started.

And for some strange reason, I am still blogging today because I CANNOT QUIT THIS BITCH.

Some other things about me- I dont have a Facebook account, I barely tweet, I used to spend lots of money at Janie & Jack but don't anymore because I have no money after my divorce, I am a terrible cook but I do it anyways, I have a college degree and I also went to grad school but I am clearly not doing anything with them except paying back student loans, and....I love, love, LOVE my daughter. And my friends. And my dad.

I also think that I invented those toothbrushes with the toothpaste dispenser on the stick, but nobody believes me. Hey, my mom thinks she invented pull-ups and will tell anyone who will listen about the letter she wrote to Luvs Diapers in the 1970's explaining, in great detail, how the pull-up diapers need to be designed...so maybe it runs in the family. We is cray.
