It’s Sunday night, the kids are snoring softly in their beds, your husband has ditched you to watch some football game you couldn’t care less about, and you find yourself mindlessly staring at the TV. It’s a good 15 minutes before you realize you’re watching Bubble Guppies…alone…and you’re singing all the songs. Enough is enough, Mamma! You need a little NickMom in your life! Better yet, grab a few of your favorite Mommy friends, your comfiest yoga pants, and a few cocktails because at 10:00 EST, Nick Jr switches over to NickMom and it is #MotherFunny.
I called up my gal pals to invite them over and told them to come in comfy pants (because let’s be honest, pants with buttons and zippers are really going against my “brand”), and be ready to relax and laugh because I would take care of everything. That is a bit of a lie, NickMom was actually helping me.
They even gave me this handy tote to use while I shopped with two kids at the liquor store–Don’t you judge me!
At first I just planned on throwing some of the kids’ Halloween candy at my friends and pouring a few glasses of red from the opened bottle on my counter, but my gal pals deserve something a little more fancy than that, and it would be nice to dust off some of the snazzy party wear I got as wedding shower gifts a million moons ago, right?
The drink recipes that NickMom gave me were AMAZING, easy to make, and looked pretty—much like me.
1 oz Pomegranate Liqueur
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Pink Grapefruit Juice
Lemon Wedge
Coarse Sugar for Rimming
6 oz Pineapple Run
6 oz Coconut Run
1 cup Fruit Punch
1 cup Crushed Ice
6 oz Orange Rum
Now it’s a party and we are ready to get our laugh on. Perfect timing for Instant Mom! One of NickMom’s newest shows stars the adorable Tia Mowry-Hardrict. She plays former party girl Stephanie who recently married an older man with three kids, and BOOM she becomes an Instant Mom! She struggles to find the balance between being friends with the kids and being a responsible parent; however, she makes it all #MotherFunny! Check your local listings because you can catch reruns of this funny show every night!
What #MotherFunny night would be complete without a few games? No we aren’t playing Candy Land for the 394 time that day. We are sharing those dirty little secrets that you only tell your mom friends (and I guess all of my readers too).
Now it’s your turn! Give me your best answers, and be sure to come back and read the other #MotherFunny answers!
Oh wait, I do have one more question. Who do I speak to at NickMom about doing the dishes from last night and taking care of my kids because Mamma had a little too much to drink last night.? No, for real, who is coming over?
What a cute post! Looks like ya’ll had a blast!! 🙂
My dog eats stink bugs, so gross! Not sure what my kids have eaten, they are older now so harder to remember those things. Funny post 🙂

sounds like a fun MNO, I love MNO – us moms so need them! Love the theme of your gathering!
Sounds like a good time! I don’t have any kids, just pets but my one cat always tries to eat the other cats puke/hairballs. I told him santa paws was watching and he was on the naughty list : – P
This sounds like a great time! The grosses thing my kid ever ate? Dog poop. I kid you not.
STOOOPPPPPP ITTT!!!!! You are too much! Hysterical… making this work day run smoothly! Oh and I too just recently told my son the park was closed as we were driving by and he was sadly looking out at all the fun he could be having if only it wasn’t “CLOSED.” hahaa!!! I have been meaning to check out NickMom! Now I most certainly will! Those drinks look fabulous… I’ll be making those as well!!! Thanks for sharing! ~Leah~
Of course the drinks caught my eye, they look fantastic. I don’t know that my kids ever ate anything gross. I’m sure it happened I just can’t remember!
I confess it: My youngest two have BOTH eaten POOP. Their own poop. DELISH! The middle child ate her own breastmilk poop at 5 months old, so that’s a little less disgusting than the fact that my 2.5 year old got butt mud on his hand last week and promptly shoved his hand in his mouth. AWESOME. It was immediately followed up by vomit. Don’t blame him. They also drink their bathwater after peeing in it. On a nightly basis. My kids are awesome.
I tell them lies every day. Like “oops, Mommy forgot to pay the cable bill!” and “It’s time for bed! It’s 9 o’clock and WAY past your bedtime!” at 7pm. I’m awesome like that.
LOVE the drinks and the little sticker holding the straw on. <3 #client
