So the basic premise here is that Moms like sex just as much as the next gal.*
*Except when they’re too busy.

And there’s the rub. (Or lack thereof.) Because Moms’re always too busy now aren’t they? Which is why Babeland’s Sexy Mama Bloggers (in honor of Mother’s Day) have been asked to tackle this question: When […]

Babeland, the family-friendly (or at least not-at-all creepy) sex store on Seattle’s Capitol Hill, is coordinating Sexy Mama Bloggers throughout the month of May. Why? Because what better way to celebrate Mother’s Day than to celebrate the thing that got most moms in this position in the first place? (If you’re scratching your head and […]

It used to be that my girlfriends and I talked about the stuff that really mattered in life: sex, love, relationships, sex, anything-NPR, sex, where-to-get-cute-clothes-cheap, relationships, love, and sex. Nowadays, it seems like the most titillating part of the convo has been mislaid (so to speak) in favor of a new hot topic: Kids. In […]
