I have some hot mama friends. No kidding. I mean, all of my friends are beautiful, some just know how to pull themselves together despite the constant loving tugs (notice how I didn’t say “demands”?) of motherhood.

My newest girlfriend Holly is a tall, smoking hot blonde who does a full face of makeup everyday. The reason I admire her is because she knows what she needs to do in order to feel like a woman and does it. She doesn’t look overdone, she looks like her gorgeous self. My other bff, Emily, has the most polished look everytime I see her. She was blessed with one of the best combos around: dark hair and blue eyes and works it.

I think we owe it to ourselves as women to take care of the outer as well as the inner. It’s possible to be a good person responsible citizen and yummy mummy.

Last weekend I went to my favorite boutiques, Oasis Child in Laguna Beach. I treated myself to a delicious, warm, long sleeved sweater by OmGirl that doubles as a sweater dress when paired with knee-high boots. I wore it as such to a wine tasting last night and felt amazing. When I got home I was so comfortable in the outfit that I just pulled off my boots, put on a nice big pair of comfy socks and finished the night cuddling with my hubby while watching Grey’s Anatomy.

OmGirl is yoga-inspired line by southern California mom, Meghan Fielding. The line blends “urban chic and West Coast sensibility.” Everything is comfortable, beautiful, and perfect for the mom who wants to look and feel good.

Let’s face it. Changing diapers and running errands is just easier when you feel like a million bucks.

It’s 6 AM. You and your husband find yourselves in that magical moment in time when you’re both feeling up for a little something special. Ten minues into the rev up…you hear it…

“Mama!” The tired cry of a child.

Do you:

A: Ignore the calls of your little libido killer

or

B: Throw on a robe faster than your husband can say “nipple confusion” and make your baby a nice sippy cup of milk

I’ll post the best ones

I’ve heard that some people schedule sex. I’ve also heard that some people wash their walls. I’m not sure what freaks me out more.

Maybe it’s because I consider what goes in my momAgenda “obligations,” but writing “get down and dirty with my spouse, Oct 23rd” in my planner just freaks me out. Sex should be a priority in every marriage because it’s an important mode of communication (and fun). I know some women out there show how important it is by planning it and while I’m positive that their better halves appreciate knowing that it’s a FOR SURE, but I can’t just can’t get on that train.Doesn’t having sex on the first and third Wednesday of every leap year take away some of the nice surprise? If you’re having trouble getting into a regular sexy time way of life, consider this instead of a schedule: why not just assume you’re goign to have sex everyday and let the off days be the “surprise.” It sounds silly, but I try to remain in available mode as often as humanly possible (showered, feeling good about myself, not overwhelmed) most days so that sex is even possible.

And if alcohol helps you get there, so be it. It’s not a dry spell if it’s been 2 months. That’s a marriage in crisis.

Plan if you must, I’ll think you’re weird but at least you’re hitting the sheets. If you’re planning averse like I am, consider making your lifestyle sexual in the way that you take care of yourself enough to even consider taking off your clothes for something other than a shower.

Until next time…keep it sexy,

It’s hard enough for moms to feel like jumping out of their jeans. Don’t let these three libido killers ruin what could be a very naughty evening.

1. Watching Law & Order Special Victim’s Unit before bed.

Hearing a heart wrenching story about a five-year old’s brutal demise is not going to help you feel all tingly “down there.” Plus, 99% of the perps (yes, I said perps) are men and I don’t know about you, but I  always dislike my husband a little bit for no reason at all when the show is over. Don’t even watch the first 2 minutes to see where they discover the body, change the channel or go straight to bed.

2. Skipping your AM shower

Ok. No one wants to take it all off when they smell like a cross between Cheetos and Similac. Take a shower in the morning because you’re not going to get to it later.

3. Kids. Too late! Just kidding.

3. Snacks. Think before you sip, or eat. Not only will this tip help you shed pounds, it will also help with your dry spell. Eating a large piece of chocolate cake before bed will not make you feel sexy. Not feeling sexy will prevent you from having sex. Therefore, skipping the 540 calorie post-bed snack is a good thing. You’ll get into your jeans AND out of them much easier (ha!) Watch what you sip too. One glass of wine will loosen you up, two will make you silly, three and zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……..

Have a fun Friday night!

Going from mom to responsive sexual partner isn’t a 10 second ordeal. For women, the brain is the biggest sexual organ meaning we have to plan and put significant effort into being sexual available. After the kids get into grandma’s car or go to sleep, here are five easy ways to transition into someone your husband isn’t afraid might bite his head off should he get any ideas.

5. Take a shower with a special body wash. The scent will melt away the day’s stresses

4. Change your clothes. Slip into something other than a huge t-shirt or sweatpants.

3. Touch up your makeup. This sounds crazy, right? Who puts makeup on at night? Looking into the mirror and seeming a ragamuffin does not make you feel hot. This isn’t for your husband, it’s for you. A little eyeliner and lip gloss works wonders.

2. Light a candle…or two. Candlelight is almost magical in it’s effect to transform a room full of unfolded laundry into a love den

1. About that laundry…put it in the living room. It’s hard to feel relaxed in a pigsty. Make sure your bedroom is a clean, relaxing environment. That means no bills, newspapers, or clutter!

Good luck
