About Me

 

Six Pack Mom is a parenting blog that details the amusing anecdotes of daily life with a large family.

The goal: to tell you about the insane shenanigans that I face daily so you can leave here feeling much better about your own life. Parenting is one of the most challenging endeavors we can take on, & there’s a sense of comfort & comradery when we can bond over our triumphs, tribulations, and FLAT-OUT FAILS.

___________________________________________

Six Pack Mom’s life plan was to travel the world as a single, mad professor with too many cats, too many books, and no kids.

Definitely no kids.

God has a sense of humor, however; because Six Pack Mom’s life plan changed- she’s now married to (the love of her life) The Captain, and spends every waking moment with her six (Six. SIX!) loud and lovable kids, unless she’s hiding in the bathroom from them- which is where her only reading time occurs in the form of kids’ notes slid under the door.

She limits her travel to the local Stop & Shop, or any drive-thru serving caffeine. 

There are two cats who fight almost as much as the kids.

 


She may maintain the facade of a mature, responsible suburban housewife & mother, but deep down, Six Pack Mom is an overgrown teenager who still loves: 

Ghostbusters, New York, books, Trivial Pursuit, cats, Superman, Rocky, faking accents in public, pizza, Star Wars, comfy jeans and T shirts, sports, backpack camping, teaching, laughter, Nine Inch Nails, celebrity gossip, coffee, tacos, air-guitaring, inside jokes with age-old friends, the ’86 Mets, babies (obviously), & pranking those she loves most.


In short, a helluva lot of good stuff to write about. Welcome.

Me: “Wow, I LOVE the way the neighbors trimmed their hedges; we should try that!”

13y.o *long pause*: “Being an adult sounds so sad sometimes.”

Adulthood is 40% stressing about bills, 30% complaining about how tired you are, 20% not wanting to go to work to pay said bills, & 10% having a sore back or neck at all times.

And it 100% blows.
