"Avoiding the Mom haircut"

I just saw a headline on Yahoo that said "Avoiding the Mom haircut". What is this??? I've heard "Mom jeans" are bad. I know "Mom-mobiles" are bad. Is there anything good about being a Mom? Or should I just hang my head in shame everytime I leave my house?

It's ridiculous that popular culture is making motherhood into something to be embarrassed about. I for one am proud to be a Mom. I love my kids and I believe I am doing my part to contribute to a healthy society for the future by staying at home to raise my children.

I wear Mom jeans. They have a mid-rise that hits just below my belly button. Do you know why? Because they are made to fit my Mom body! And they look WAY better on me then if I were to squeeze into some low cut, tight thigh, juniors jeans!

I have Mom hair too! I wear it in a bob. Not long. Not short. Why is that? Because it is easy to style and doesn't get in my way when I'm busily carrying my young children, cooking for my family, or running errands.

And I drive a small SUV. Maybe it's not a full on Mom-mobile, but guess what? I want a Mini-van! Yep, I'm not ashamed. I want a vehicle that seats my family of 4 and still has room to pop in an extra carseat incase I have another Mommy friend who wants to hitch a ride home from the zoo. A mini-van is clearly the most comfortable option for the busy Mom on the go.

Does all this Mom stuff make me less sexy? Mabye in the eyes of the club-hopping, trend setters in their twenties, but that sure doesn't matter to me. I care if my husband finds me sexy and he does! Does all this Mom stuff make me stand out in public as being the woman who is saddled with 2 kids? Doubtful! I'm quite sure people figure that out by the baby on my back and the toddler holding my hand!

I am a Mom. I am proud. This is an important phase of my life and I am not ashamed to flaunt my Mom-ness!
