What's in a Name?

Here is post #1!  I decided to create a blog to share my struggles and successes of being a millennial mom.  Something for the typical mom, twenty-something or twenty-something mom to relate to.  Everyday I come across happenstances that make me wonder about how I'm scoring in this whole "real life" thing and I'm sure others are too.

Then began my search for a name that suited my sarcastic, outspoken, non-traditional way of figuring out this parenting thing all while figuring out what I want to be when I grow up.  I was searching for something that was related to being a parent, but young, fun and slightly sassy.  I quickly found that any domain that includes the word "sassy" is taken.  Then I discovered my new found hate for domain squatters. That being said I envy their career choice. The basic "mom names" are all taken. As is anything with the word "millennial". So I started creating words... Mommified? Momtastic? All the nopes.

Here are a few of my initial ideas:

Sassy Sweetie-pie
"Sweetie-pie" is what my 4 year old daughter calls me when she's trying to butter me up. That being said it reminds me off that bad middle school hotmail address we all had. Oh, the MSN Messenger days...

Mom Next Door
Porn...Sooo much porn! Really bad, creepy porn!

Just J.
Taken. Anger building...

P's Mom
I seriously contemplated this although it lacked my stubborn, sarcastic side. 

Then I got frustrated:

Fucking Blog
Taken.

Your Fucking Mom
More porn.

Finally, I sat down with my lap top, painted my toenails (after a bedtime experience I thought would never end) and grabbed a beer.

Voila! OMG! Here it is in all its' glory! While Booze & Brats may initially come off as trashy, I feel it reflects my life.

Everything in this blog will be related to the challenges that come with having a family, a career and trying to still have some of the experiences that my peers are having. So enjoy my dirty laundry, laugh at my spilled milk, grab a drink and cheers to everything life may hurl at me all delivered by mini humans!

Thanks for reading!
