I'm a 39-year-old working mom to two girls trying to stay sane and away from the Barbie PopTarts. I'm also a writer and editor with more than 17 years of experience. BlondeMomBlog is a top Google search result for "mom blog" and I'm kind of proud of that ya'll.

Obviously Moms Were Not Part of the Focus Group

I saw this cereal at Dollar Tree today. For real, ya’ll!

Oh Dollar Tree, how I love thee and your untold treasures and blog fodder that await me. I went looking for goody bags for Miss C’s upcoming birthday party, and found muffin tops.


 


Muffin top, or dunlap as Oprah calls it, will forever have a different meaning to me now that I’m a mother (and one who has had two c-sections and who experiences a flab-alanche every time she sits down thank you very much). Wearing a bathing suit nearly every day for the past week will do that to you.


p.s. Apparently (and why am I not surprised), someone has launched an online Muffin Top Museum.

    LOL! yes, great minds think alike. I placed a link to here. I didn’t know you too had C-sections :)

    Thanks for that Muffin Huntin’ link. I added that there too :)

    Your mom is skinnier than my mom so if I don’t watch out my muffin top will be way bigger than yours. It’s in our genes.

    Flab-alanche! I love it! Ever since my darn pregnancy and c-section…and love for cupcakes, I look fine standing up, but as soon as I sit down – flab-alanche.

    I may have to steal that one.

    Lisa:

    I had a fabulous flat stomach in 1997 right before hubby and I got married.

    It’s in there somewhere…I just KNOW IT!

    I can’t think “muffin-top” any other way either. But I try very hard to not think of this word ever, especially when I look in the mirror. Wow, they actually made a product called muffin-tops. Wouldn’t want stock in that company.

    Oh that was funny.

    As a mom with 2 c-sections, I too have serious muffin-top action which I like to keep hidden beneath my shirt (at least I try to camouflage it).

    I would not buy those muffin tops! Too much of a reminder!

    I’m gonna steal “flab-alanche” from you. Oh that’s a good one!

    oh wow. That is just so wrong.
