The Mom Version of In

Since I have become a mom I have had to leave fashion behind. I try to keep up with some trends but it is hard when you no longer have a disposable income or disposable time. I don't have the time to shower let alone dry and iron my hair (which takes at least 45 minutes btw). There are so many "in" things that I would like to have or try but instead I have the mom version of "in".

In:
Posh Spice angled hair cut
Mom Version:
ponytail

In:
Louis Vuitton Monogram Vernis Roxbury Drive purse
Mom Version:
Waterproof diaper bag

In:
Prius
Mom Version:
Generic minivan with french fries ground into carpet

In:
La Perla
Mom Version:
Any bra that can list your boobs back to where they should be

In:
smudged eyeliner
Mom version:
under eye circles

In:
Big designer sunglasses
Mom Version:
Anything that covers up the fact you just left the house with no makeup

In:
Staying up all night partying
Mom Version:
Staying up all night with a sick baby

In:
A size smaller than what you already are
Mom Version:
Anything less than what you weighed when you were pregnant, is a small victory!

  3. God, if this is in; then I surely are the most popular girl in town. I always wanted to be in the in crowd, just didn't think it would take sick baby poop to get me there.

  4. I have about 4 pair of big sunglesses around the house, car, purse. It doesn't matter that my kids are older, they still wake at night on occasion.

  5. I think I at least qualify for 3/4 of what you have listed here so I guess that puts me in very good company.

  11. Well if we can call it "Daddy-In" since I am a dad...what about:

    In - very low cut facial hair
    Daddy in - uneven 3 day growth (shaving just does not make the priority list)

    In - Being able to properly do Yoga poses
    Daddy In - Being able to see feet while standing

    In - Hanging out at a bar, shooting pool with buddies
    Dady In - Standing at edge of pool paying lifeguard.
