You will see no shortage of jorts (that's right jean shorts) one of the scariest displays still somehow making its way to Walmarts, Sam's Clubs, Nascar races, and music festivals around the country.

In celebration of Mother's Day, here's my story on becoming a mom: When my husband and I decided to have a baby it wasn’t that we were 100% prepared, it was just that all of a sudden being a mom did not seem so scary anymore. As we began our pregnancy adventure we learned so many things.
