Ella 4 1/2, Zack 2 1/2 and Olivia 4 Weeks
I am so happy everyone is loving the Mom Snob Confessions. I will be bringing them on a weekly basis now so if you would like to nominate someone I should feature, please email me.
Jori was our Tot Snob editor when we first launched. She made Tot Snob what is is today and I owe her everything. Her responsibilities to her tots and family were always her #1 priority so she had to leave us =( Her mother in law is Florence Shapiro, a Texas state senator, so you can imagine she has a lot on her plate.
What can you not live without, no matter what it cost, you will sell your left arm for it if you have to?
Having a newborn, right now I can’t live with my night nurse Heidi! I’d sell my diamonds and mortgage my house for her. She comes every other night, so I still get my nighttime bonding in…call me crazy but with 2 toddlers sometimes that is the only Olivia and Mommy time we get. Heidi is fabulous. The nights that she comes my husband and I rest easy knowing our daughter is in good hands. When Olivia gets a little older, she will help us train her to sleep through the night without a pacifier or swaddle – two things our kids have come to love. If you’re in the Dallas area and interested in using a night nurse, I highly recommend Heidi!
What indulgence do you do that is just for you?
First, I exercise which helps me to clear my head. Then, to really unwind I head to the spa for a massage or facial. Nothing does wonders like a little pampering!
What special training or skill di you wish your husband has?
Breastfeeding?!!
What is the worst dinner you’ve ever served?
I am so embarrassed to have this written…Kid Cuisine frozen dinners. Could someone please invent nutritious ready made meals for when you’re in a pinch?
Confession Time. What have you done to cut corners, save time, save sanity, just had no time or because you were simply lazy?
Two things. First, because my son is attached to one particular sippy cup (he has to drink his milk out of it or someone’s going to have to pay!), I sometimes take them out of the dishwasher full of dirty dishes, rinse them, and call them clean just to avoid a meltdown. Also, I pretended not to smell a very stinky diaper while I finished shopping at a department store.
