I was supposed to announce the winner of "Best Shirtless Smash" today but at the moment it is tied between Edward and Keeley. SO. I'm gonna put the two of them up for a tiebreaker vote on the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage this afternoon. Probably around 3pm. Winner gets a Colossal Cupcake ($42) from Crumbs Bake Shop and a guaranteed spot in "Best Overall Smash" on December 9th.
Secondly, congrats to April Peris who is the winner of an $18 Crumbs gift card. Try not to smear your free baked goods all over your face.
I'll be giving out another Colossal Cupcake today for "Messiest Smash", but first I've got some things to discuss.

MOMMY SHORTS: THE SHOW
This week I debuted the first episode of my YouTube show. You can read all about how I'm trying to get over the whole camera-shy thing here.
Well.
The reviews are in and you guys all had super kind stuff to say like:
"I don't hate it!" — Kande
"My two-year-old liked it." — Greta
"Totally not awkward." — Alyssa
"I can't actually watch the video but I'm sure it's amazing!" — Emily
Thank you to everyone who commented, critiqued and subscribed. Also, it appears that you all want hair tips. This means in addition to making another video, I will have to clean my bathroom so I am comfortable filming there. Awesome.
If you haven't seen my show yet, you can check it out here. If you like it, please subscribe because I'm not sure if I'll post every episode on the blog. (Plus, seeing that subscription number tick up is my new favorite thing.)

FIRST WORLD PROBLEMS: MOMMY EDITION
Earlier this week, Rants from Mommyland asked me to judge their First World Problems: Mommy Edition. (I even listed ten of my own.)
Well, they ended up with 500 ENTRIES (read them all here and here) of which I had to narrow down to TEN.
Not an easy task, my friends.
Not to mention, I had things to do yesterday like complain that my fresh sushi wasn't delivered straight to my doorstep as quickly as I would have liked.
Life is so HARD.
Check out the top ten "First World Problems" over at Rants today.

COLOSSAL CAKE SMASH SMACKDOWN: ROUND 2
Next up, we've got Round Two of the Cake Smash Smackdown sponsored by Crumbs Bake Shop. This round we're doing MESSIEST. I will try my best to think of a caption for each one besides "If I stare too hard, I might puke." Seriously, that almost happened with Aiden's picture below.
Remember to vote for your favorite at the bottom!
And the "MESSIEST SMASH" NOMINEES are…
Cheech in "I Swear, Strawberry Shortcake Was Already Dead When I Got Here"
Marian in "Queso Cake"
Sage in "Can You Hang This Up On the Fridge When I'm Finished?"
Jenna in "It Was All Fun & Games Until Mom Turned On The Fire Hose"
Kendal in "If This Were A Box of Crakerjacks, I'd Have Found the Fake Tattoo By Now"
Aiden in "And Then We Burned the High Chair"
Eva in "Everybody back! She's Gonna BLOW!!!!!!"
Raina in "When Potty Training Goes Awry"
Genaro in "There IS a God!"
Winner gets an obscenely delicious Colossal Cupcake ($42) from Crumbs delivered to their door and will be up for "Best Overall Smash" and an $100 Crumbs Gift Card on December 9th.
You can still enter cake smash pictures by posting them on the wall of the Mommy Shorts Facebook Fanpage. And if you've got a kid in the Cake Smash Album, please tag your photo because it is the easiest way for me to notify you if your kid makes it in.
Alright. That's it.
Have a good weekend!
— Mommy Shorts
Note to self: Do not give babies chocolate cake. It looks too much like um, something else.
Yes, hair tips PLEASE.
Loved the show. Totally subscribed to that shit now.
I wish I were more laid-back about messes. The Messy Mashes look like so much fun! (On someone else’s kid.) My poor kids will never get to do this sort of fun while they’re under my roof.
Love the entries!
The look on Eddie’s face is priceless. He looks like a drunken frat boy, telling his friends he will be fine as he stumbles out of a bar to puke- again.
I’m curious why, when I tried to click the “rants from mommyland” link, it came up as blocked on my work computer and listed as “porn”. Hmm.
those pics are hilarious. also, as nicely as this can be said, i think you could have a pretty nice entry pool for ungliest high chair.
“shit”- wish I’d had your quote yesterday to add to the review list!
Party is pretty much over afterward, right? I mean you have to pick the kid up out the high chair not doubt ruinging any and all clothing on you or near you and THEN you have to drag them kicking and screaming to a the nearest TUB.
Totally. I think I saw his lookalike curled up the sidewalk this morning outside of Coyote Ugly.
I guess you’ll have to ask them. Maybe a side business I don’t know about?
OMG. You are SO RIGHT. One after the other!
(No offense, people)
Or hose – depending on the time of year.
And why is my name suddenly coming up as my URL? I’m having such identity issues! I’m more than my blog – yes, I am. ~ Kristin
You should definitely check in with Kat over at Mama’s Losin’ It for tips on how to make a YouTube hair tutorial. Her side buns tutorial changed my LIFE. In case you aren’t familiar: http://www.mamakatslosinit.com/?s=hair+bun+tutorial
So glad my raving review of the Mommy Shorts Show made it in. I probably have a future as a film critic.
That video is awesome. I will take a lesson.
My comment sounds kind of snarky, so for the record was snark-free and merely a reference to the original post’s CAPS sentence “if you hate it, it will only be for a short time … ” or something like that. 🙂
Sorry that is not the direct quote, but my iPad does not allow me to easily cut and paste (… wait for it … and cue, Kate G. crying).
Consider this full approval to use the quote in future show whoring.
PS/ Have you considered that Mazzy is most probably some kind of genuis? Her diction? Scary good.
OMG I totally went there for a real hair tip…so bummed yet also amused!
So did I! I didn’t realize it was a joke until I was about halfway through.
