7 Young Moms To Follow On Twitter

I find myself on Twitter quite a bit but in truth, it can get a little noisy. Like, too many people in the same room, having different conversations about different topics. I feel like I never "know" anyone on there and it's hard for me to just jump in on a conversation already in progress. But when it comes to the seven ladies below, their tweets are always a breath of fresh air. They're just … [Continue reading...]

Spotlight: Lisa Aguilar

I wish I could be as confident and self-assured as our Spotlight mom. Lisa contacted me last week, asking to be in the Spotlight and who am I to say no to someone so sure of her own strength? I checked out her blog, Confessions of a young mother, and fell in love. She's so honest when it comes to the realities of motherhood and by giving us a peek into her world, she makes us all feel a little … [Continue reading...]

In good company: Dominique Rambert

One of the reasons I love Twitter is that I can meet cool moms like Dominique without much effort. Our paths just cross, and I find myself chuckling behind my keyboard because they are so funny and make me feel so much better about the latest issue I'm having with my kids. Dominique is my buddy because, like me, she's trying to make this writing and motherhood thing mix in a way that leaves her … [Continue reading...]

the reason I didn’t name this blog “20something mama”

I put a lot of thought into what I could name this blog. At first, I wanted to call it 20somethingmama.com. 'Cause that's what I am. But I vetoed that because one day I won't be a 20something mom anymore. I'll be a 30something mom. Then a 40something mom. I'll be a - gasp! - veteran. I'll know what I'm doing. (Won't that day hurry up and come?) But I will forever be a "young mom." Not … [Continue reading...]

Where the cool kids hang out…

How many of you have a Facebook account? *looks around at all the raised hands* How many of you are fans of the Young Mommy Life on Facebook? *a few hands raise* Now, ladies, can we talk? Sure we can. I don't blog for the heck of it. I don't do anything for the heck of it. I blog because I wanted to change things. I wanted to change the way younger moms were viewed in society. I … [Continue reading...]
