I can’t quite remember my TV-life before Dora and Bubble Guppies, but I’m certain it didn’t involve those cuties. Don’t get me wrong, those shows are preeeettaaaaay awesome and I am SO! happy they are there. Truly. How else would a stay-at-home-working-mom work? Nickelodeon is a lifesaver. Besides, my kids are also learning Spanish – their third language! They are practically GENIUSES! (insert sarcasm somewhere around here…)
I recently made a deal with them. Our deal involved Chocolate “Christmas Trees” (yes, I am baking for the Holidays – I am getting recipes ready for the blog), Monster Cupcakes and a night spent on my bed. In return I was going to get a Girl’s Night In with my friends to watch our new mommy-show Instant Mom. Sounds like a great deal, right?
Have you seen the show?! It’s hilarious!
Tia Mowry-Hardrict, who plays Stephanie, the Instant Mom, was a party girl before marrying an older man with 3 kids. Suddenly, she’s a Mom of three, expected to be a responsible parent and a true confidante to her new step kids. It’s fun watching her find out what being a mom is all about. I kinda find myself in her. I am a mom of 2, but still not sure that I have this mom-thing down. Most likely I don’t, but I’ll fake it until I make it. 😉
For this particular night, I had invited a couple of my friends and my Mom to join me for a night of wine, chocolate cookies, cheetos and NickMom! Believe me, those 4 things go together like bread and buttah! We had a blast!! But, there was one little hiccup. Just as soon as my girl, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, popped on the screen in her new show Instant Mom, my little one woke up! Argh! Not fair!! I love Tia! I used to watch her on Sister Sister all the time!
I ended up watching her new show with baby in one hand and remote control in the other. There I am, in the dark.
That’s the last time I make a deal with a 16-month old.
The rest of my party people got to enjoy a tray of desserts, snacks and a bottle of wine…
Guess what I did after they left? I poured myself a glass of wine and polished off the leftovers. Ha!
Since discovering all the #MotherFunny happenings on Nick Jr., and that after 10:00 pm (EST) Nick Jr. turns into NickMom, this Mom gets to tune in and enjoy all the “after hours” shows, sans kids, and a glass of wine. Or two. Oh, who’s counting!
If you are looking for a new program to enjoy, tune into NickMom after 10:00 (EST) each night on Nick Jr. to get your #MotherFunny on! Also, NickMom airs new episodes of Instant Mom every Sunday on Nick Jr. at 10:00 pm EST. and reruns can be viewed every night.

Those treats look absolutely DELICIOUS! Isn’t it crazy how sometimes our kids have different plans than us, and try as we might, we cannot negotiate with terrorists? And holy crap – Boozy Mascarpone filling? Send some my way! NOM NOM NOM

Wow you have beautiful daughters, but so different:)
Yes, they are very different! 🙂 That little blondie looks like my husband’s grandmother. Everyone asks me if she really is ours… 🙂
Love Instant Mom, my granddaughter asked me to watch it with her. I’ll have to add the wine next time.
I saw you getting ready for this party on instagram and have already commented but must comment on your pictures of your daughters-SO CUTE and they have really grown!
I hear ya on waking up, mine is 17 months next week and she has been randomly waking up at night too-ugh!
I don’t have cable but I was at my parents house this past weekend and we were watching Dora,etc. I was intrigued when NickMom came on, I love Tia and Tamara Mowry and how they are moms too!
The food looks yummy and fun! I need to organize a Mom night in 🙂
Stumbling by and love this post – what an awesome girls night 🙂
I have yet to catch Instant mom – but am curious – what’s that chocolate roll cake in the top photo?
Hi Shashi!! It is one of my Holiday favorites that I will be sharing real soon! YAY! 😉 It’s a chocolate roll filled with a boozy mascarpone filling… SO GOOD! 🙂
