Paint it Black

What baby merchandise mogul was it that "invented" baby colors, anyway? Why is it that we dress and decorate our baby's bedrooms in lovely pale hues that are destined to become stained and ruined? Babies actually prefer bright colors, and newborns are stimulated by mostly black and red, so why is it that I am spending butt loads of money on stain removers to keep my baby's whites white? Today I washed the seat cover of my daughters highchair, ergo baby, floor blanket to the rainforest gym, seat cover to her swing, seat cover to her jumperoo, sun visor of her stroller, and a load of clothing containing the two outfits that fell victim today to fruit and poop. I spent most of my day treating stains while I am wearing dirty cloths since I have nothing clean to wear because I am so backed up with the laundry as I am having to constantly push another load of baby clothes through the wash!
If it was all black my life would be so much simpler.

Hi. My name is Cash, and I'm a stinky mom.

I am an ex-model/actress/singer from New York City turned Texan homeopathic practitioner/premed student of osteopathic medicine.

On September 27, 2010, I finally joined the ranks of motherhood.

I’ve wanted to be a Mom for a long time, and quite honestly, it’s the best thing I’ve ever/will ever do. I just had no idea that with this prestigious title comes bouts of temporary amnesia, sleep deprivation, an untidy house, unintentional eating disorders, embarrassing stained clothing, and general bad personal hygiene. My precious 29 month old Quilla and her sweet three month old baby sister Zarielle, keep me so busy that I rarely shower on a regular basis anymore! And let me tell you- I NEED to shower! Between all the pee, poopie, leaky breasts, and regurgitated breast milk being spewed on me constantly, I should shower hourly! I am a walking biohazard.
Ok- that’s a slight over-exaggeration.

I wouldn’t trade being a Stinky Mom for all the tea in China. I fall in love with my girls over and over again every day with every coo, laugh, smile & tear. These lovely little monsters are the greatest loves of my life.

Hi. My name is Jaq, and I’m a stinky mom.

I am a Graphic Artist and sometimes photographer working as an in-house Art Director for a sport clothing and supply company. I'm also a graduate student working on my MFA in Graphic Design and Illustration. I have a too-cool 10 year old son, Christian, who brings me giant bouts of laughter on a daily basis and a gorgeous 1-year-old daughter, Charlotte, who never fails too keep me on my toes with her adventurous and independent spirit. Needless to say, I'm overwhelmed, stressed, stretched too thin and yes...a bit stinky at times!
