I am the author of The Mommyologist, a blog where I laugh at how life has changed since my son entered the picture. My words have been quoted in The New York Times, CNN.com, and a few TV programs have even dared to put me on camera. Before becoming a full-time writer for The Stir, I dished out celeb gossip for Babble and wrote for CBS CT. I currently reside in the boonies, but long for the city, the coast, or a combination of both.

Apparently she wants to make sure her new little family isn't apart for one single second, because Kim Kardashian is taking her baby on tour with Kanye West instead of sitting at home alone and adjusting to life as a mom all by her lonesome self.

Yep, according to TMZ, Kim plans on packing up her 3-month-old baby to travel around with Kanye on a bus. She's reportedly even gone so far as to request cribs and soundproof hotel rooms at every stop along the way.

Yeah, so there's really no polite way to put this, so I'll just come right out and say it. There's poop in public pools. Did you hear me? Every time you take the kids to a public pool -- odds are good they're swimming around with feces in the water.

Excuse me for a second -- I just threw up in my mouth a little bit.

Last summer, researchers from the CDC found E. coli bacteria in 58 percent of the pools they tested. Yep, you guessed it, E. coli comes from the human gut -- and poop.

And the poop that's found in pools doesn't necessarily come from someone pooping in the pool.

Wow. As of today -- I think I've officially heard it all. Especially after reading the story about a mom who entered her unborn baby in a beauty competition.

Yes -- a mom from the U.K. has apparently decided the baby she's seven months pregnant with just might be the world's next Honey Boo Boo -- so she's getting her started on the pageant circuit before she's even born.

Are you believing this?

Whoa! Have you seen this photo of Christina Aguilera's bangin' body in a sexy black outfit? Um, has she lost a ton of weight, or has she lost a ton of weight?!? Most people can't pull off wearing a bra as a top -- but Christina made it happen.

She shared the photo on Facebook, which was taken while she was shooting a music video with Alejandro Fernandez. And as a mom who has had her own ups and downs with weight over the years -- it's highly obvious what kind of reaction Christina was hoping to get out of people with this particular photo.

Commuters who were waiting to catch the SEPTA at a train station in West Philadelphia witnessed a terrifying sight yesterday when they saw a baby stroller fall onto the tracks after rolling off the platform.

Yep -- this really happened. A mom was waiting for the train with her baby strapped into a jogging stroller, when she somehow became distracted -- and it slowly rolled right to the edge and toppled over onto the tracks.

And what the mom did after realizing what happened really shouldn't surprise any parent.
