I often say that staying in the “Sex and the Sippy” mindset is not an 8pm-10pm operation. Have you heard the phrase, “foreplay starts in morning?” In order to feel like sexy time is at all an option after chasing kids and doing endless loads of laundry you’re going to have to put some effort in mammas.
One thing I love to do is send my husband romantic e-cards. What better way to make sure that I’m constantly on his mind? He knows you’re his wife, why not be his girlfriend sometimes? When the flirting stays in tact, sex lives stay protected and fresh.

Some of them are edgier than others, choose wisely. Some workplaces have monitoring software and *gasp* don’t send anything that he’d have to explain if a co-worker saw his screen. Think cute, romantic, and playful.
One of the reasons Sex and the Sippy exists is because there are way too many people not having sex who should be. There are organizations and religious groups everywhere trying to stop teens from having sex because we know how emotionally and physically disastrous for teens to get down, but what about moms and dads who are practicing unnecessary abstinence?
With the divorce rates as high as they are, regular nookie is more important than ever. Mom, if you still think cleaning the kitchen is more important than hitting the sheets, here are some sad stats from Dr. Phil.com

You’ve seen the new KY commercials, right? The new yours+mine lube makes some hefty promises. Looks like lube to me, but then again, I haven’t tried it. This review on Associated Content is supposed to be shining, but it still didn’t make me want to go out and break a $20.

Today Sex and the Sippy spoke with Miyoko Fujimori, the author of The Housewife’s Guide to Practical Striptease. When this mom of two isn’t appearing on the Dish Network/Oxygen six nights a week or showing Denise Richards some pole moves on E!’s It’s Complicated, she’s helping moms everywhere remember that they’re more than just spit up wipers, chauffeurs, and playground referees.
“The Housewife’s Guide to Practical Striptease isn’t about nudity or writhing around, it’s about communicating and connecting…helping women jump back on the monkey bars.” -Miyoko
If you haven’t read The Housewife’s Guide to Practical Striptease go out and get it. Today. Right now. Seriously. This easy-read shows that striptease for the everyday mom isn’t about expensive outfits or being someone you’re not, it’s about remembering that moms are women too and being comfortable with one’s femininity. Motherhood has a way of banishing the “sexy” out of moms. Miyoko explains, in words and terms that anyone can understand, that learning a sexy dance for your husband is something fun, special and totally doable.
Keeping your sensuality in tact isn’t something that you work on from 8-10pm. Miyoko explained how moms can make keeping their feminine side in tact a daily mission.
“Even when you’re just walking around…throw your shoulders back, instead of caving in, push your breasts out and stride…When you’re stressed out, instead of reaching for that cookie to make you feel better, brush your hand against your thigh and up your hair, remind yourself that you’re beautiful and loved.”
Feeling like a ragged mom with no time for yourself can be a thing of the past. Miyoko, who is also the Creative Director of Party Gals, has created a resource that even the shyest mom can pull easy ways to end any dry streaks and bring new life to your marriage.

Last week I found myself cleaning poop off of the floor. We’re in the home stretch of potty training and sometimes things get messy. It’s days like these that make feeling like a hot mom an uphill battle. Even after showering and changing out of my battle clothes, it’s hard not to feel like Raggedy Ann.
I remind myself that I’m not a human wastebasket by keeping my stock of “something more comfortable” current.
It’s time to update the sexy drawer! When shopping you don’t have to go for the porn star look (unless you’re into that, no judging). I’ll show you how to go from Unmanageable to Totally Mom-Able.
Unmanageable: Fredericks of Hollywood Cami and Tap Pant Set ($9.99)
There are a lot of problems with this look. First of all, if the shorts don’t fit a model well, they’ll do even less for a normal woman. Second, that top is not only dry clean only (who needs another errand and do you really want to be seen dropping that off?), it’s going to look like a kite after two months. Third, let’s be kind to mommies who are still working off their pregnancy tummies. This is just not nice.
Totally Mom-Able: Fredericks of Hollywood Georgette Babydoll ($9.99)
How cute is this babydoll? It’s polyester and nylon so you can wash it yourself in a just a few minutes. Don’t hang on the line to dry unless you want your neighbors talking. The color pictures is under $10. The cut is so flattering to moms: flaunts what the baby gave us up top and hides what the baby gave us around the middle. Super cute!
