3. Stop complaining about back to school shopping by OneFunnyMother

You know that old Staples commercial where the dad is dancing through the store gleefully tossing school supplies into the cart while his kids sullenly drag their feet behind him as “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year” plays in the background? Dena Blizzard of OneFunnyMother is here to not-so-gently remind you that at back-to-school time, we all need to be that dad and load up the cart with double what’s on the teacher’s supply list. Why?

7. Company is coming by Chris Flemming

Flemming channels every mom when a visit from family or friends is imminent. Puff and fluff those pillows, people!

This mommy YouTube video demonstrates why.
