About Me
Hi.
Welcome.
Hope you brought me a latte.
My name is Maria.
I’m bored a lot. Not bored of the children of course, because that would be so very wrong. Just bored – it can’t all be rainbows people. And though, I may have run screaming from the family building a few times, it happens less often now. Because the children are faster than I am, and catch me. Every. Single. Time.
Being a Stay-At-Home Mom requires much patience, an obscene amount of caffeine and the ability to hide in closets. Thankfully, I have all three.
And yes, I am married. If you kindly look above, I do believe you can see approximately a tenth of his face in our lovingly cropped engagement photo. I’m sweet like that.
The children totally look like me, as you can see.
They’re real troopers. Well, one of them is anyway.
Finally, let me introduce you to my imaginary boyfriend, Colin Firth.
A delight in every sense, and an example all men should follow. Hoping that a year of whispering, “I am Colin” in my husband’s ear, while he’s sleeping, will eventually pay off.
WELCOME! Have a donut.

Hello, Just wanting to say i am a new found fan of the blog!

Thanks Autumn! Welcome!!
Love your site! Lol… fellow migraine sufferer eh? Let me know if you have them under control- I have had quite a run but have found a couple things that help… both holistically and medicinally. I have 4 kids and migraines are way too in my way! Check out my blog- I am new and would love your support!

Hi sort of “bumped” onto your blog tonight – Was looking up tuna recipes and ended up here. I’m not a mom, my choice. I do give all moms, almost moms and grandmoms “5 gold stars” for all of the work you do for your kids and family. Please take care of yourselves.

Just came across your blog from my sister! Love love love it! I agree being a STHM can be boring and hard. I’m a nanny, so, not exactly the same, but close!
Absolutely love your blog! Just started Weight Watchers too, so I’ll keep up with your progress, and looking for humor and realistic motivation! Thanks a bunch, I needed your 100 things, quite hilarious! Great idea to actually work on myself!
haha, i have to say this blog is pretty awesome!
Love your blog! I’m bored too
Hey,
I was skimming through the internet to find something on the new points plus by weight watchers. Enjoyed reading your posts. I am as equally bored as you are and being on mat leave, does wonders to your social life. I hope WW has been good to you. I am doing the old version. It worked the last time I did it and so I hope to have the same success — key word hope! Keep posting, love reading your posts!
Hi Maria!
I’m a stanley too! I get a kick kick out of your writing. I’m new to this SAHM gig.it’s a trip

Maria – your blog cracks me up. Thanks for not making me bored! You rock! (and so does Colin Firth!)
Found my way here via twitter, thought there’d be Starbucks. I’ll be back soon with enough for all of us.
Absolutely love your blog! I was wondering would you be interested in sharing your articles with other like-minded parent bloggers? If yes, please email me at info@atomicreach.com with Parents in the subject line.
Thanks,
Anne
Hi Maria,
I’ve been looking all over your website for your email address; I’d love to get in contact with you about our company and the books we publish. We’re big fans and would love to be connected!
Thanks,

Just came acroos your blog and was laughing out loud at the BEST Bunny Story Ever! I lived in Greece for many years and just saw that happening.So great. Thanks for taking me away from my boredom of work and making me laugh this evening.
Back off of Colin Firth lady. He’s mine! Love the owls.
Love your blog… I am a colin firth fan too…
Hello! I found your site on the UrbanMoms site and I wanted to pop by to say HI!
I recently started a blog at http://www.momsandmunchkins.ca/ with mom & baby group play date ideas plus moms night out event ideas.
Love your About Me page – very funny!
Makes me soooooo happy to hear you say you are bored. I’m a stay at home mom for the first time ever. I’m 33 and have an 11 year old from a previous marriage and now have and 11 week old baby and a 19 week old puppy…..yep you can call me an idiot for trying to do both…I curse myself out everyday!!! Anyway, my new husband (well not so new, coming up on 2 years) has a great job that allows me to stay home. I’M BORED!!! I miss socializing, I’m sick of laundry and dishes!!! Don’t get me wrong, I am happy I get the opportunity to stay home but it’s nice to hear someone else feels the same way!! Love your website!
okay, this made me laugh and my name is also Maria. You remind me of my friend Steph, which is also my sister’s name. This means we’re obviously kindred spirits. But this is funny, I found you on Twitter and I’m so glad I did. Thanks for the laughs and the entertainment and the honesty. March on.
OH MY GOSH! This blog absolutely made my day. I am a stay at home mom who is also bored and you are hilarious.
Thanks Nicole!!
Great blog!
Come and check out my page:)
Cheers!
I’m a dad and not bored. I may have been a few years ago, but now that he’s a teenager I’m mostly terrified.
Oh that’s how you add a comment here. I see a form and I automatically fill it out. Disregard prior communication. Nice blog though! Haha.
Got the dreaded mommy I’m bored from the kids today. I went out on a hunt for sites for solutions and ideas. Landed here. Like your approach maybe it’s just the time of year. Thanks Maria.
Lovely blog so glad I found you.
Thanks so much Claire!
Maria,
I’m so glad I found your blog cause now I have something to read this weekend that’s funny and inspiring. The ‘About Me” alone is brilliant … can’t wait to read rest of it.
Thanks Nydia!
I’m mad about Colin Firth. Loved him in “Girl With a Pearl Earring”.
Cheers.
