Advice for Mom-To-Be Snooki

Congratulations on your little bundle of joy, Snooki!

I know there are a lot of jokes going around about how your due date coincides with the Mayans’ prediction of the end of the world, but don’t let that get you down, girlfriend.

But because of the children, many of my goals have become a little less dedicated to trying to look svelte and instead just trying to get through the day.

Shave. At least my shins.

Stop wearing hot pants and Lucite heels to PTO meetings.

No matter how busy I am or how little food there is in the house, I resolve never to serve Lunchables for dinner again. As adorable as my five-year-old’s daily announcement – “Remember when we had Lunchables for dinner? That was the best day ever!” – was this past year, it hardly provides the ambition one needs to cook a dinner from scratch.
