Happy first day of April to all of my Mom Sexy ladies out there!
(I promise that this post is 100% real and not an April Fool’s joke)!
I cannot even begin to tell you how overwhelmed I was with all of the positive and empowering comments you left me on my original Mom Sexy post. I never thought that shaking my tush and wiggling my hips would inspire so many people to jump on the Mom Sexy bandwagon with me, but I couldn’t be happier that it did!
We may not look exactly the way we did when we were 20 years old, but you know what? It doesn’t MATTER because our life experiences have made us who we are today. I think that moms are a lot like wine. And not only do we get BETTER with age, we also get SEXIER. Because as confident, strong women, we are not just sexy on the OUTSIDE…we are sexy on the INSIDE too. We have EARNED OUR SEXY. And I think that we deserve a little time in the spotlight. I think that we deserve to be given a little credit for being the sexy mamas that we are. And that is why I’m starting a movement to officially BRING MOM SEXY BACK!
Starting today, The Mommyologist will now have a featured “Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month!” If you scroll down, you will notice this new spot on my left sidebar, and you will see the button for my April Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month, Shell from Things I Can’t Say. More on her in a minute…but first, let me give you the rundown of how this is going to work.
On the last Monday of each month, I will write a “Mom Sexy” post. Each month’s post will be different from the last, and in each one I will write about something that made me feel Mom Sexy, or what I did to bring “Mom Sexy” back that month, etc. I will also ask a question at the end of each post pertaining to “Mom Sexy” in some way. If you would like to participate, you can answer the question by either writing your own “Mom Sexy” post and linking it up (there will be a McLinky), or you can also just answer the question in the comment field on my post. This gives everyone a chance to participate even if you don’t have time to write your own post. The McLinky and comments will be open through that Friday, and then I will read over all of the answers and choose someone to be my featured Mom Sexy Blogger for the next month. Each winner will be announced on the first day of each month and will have their button displayed on my sidebar for the entire month until the next winner is chosen.
Ok, here we go!! My first official Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month is:
Shell, from Things I Can’t Say!
Now, you all probably already know that Shell and I actually met in real life and even shared a hotel room at Bloggy Boot Camp in Baltimore! We’d been blog friends for quite some time, and we got to be even better friends after spending some time together in person. I think that you know that you have a true friend when they look out for you and try and help you out whenever they can because they honestly want to see you succeed. This is what my girl Shell did for me last week.
After reading my “Mom Sexy” post last Friday, Shell sent me a message and told me that she thought “Mom Sexy” would make a great Meme and that people would have fun participating in it.
The thought of turning it into a Meme hadn’t even crossed my mind before she mentioned it! I couldn’t believe what a great idea it was.
After brainstorming things over the weekend, I decided that I couldn’t possibly keep up with another weekly Meme, but I knew that I still wanted to do something fun with “Mom Sexy.” And that’s how I ended up with the concept of having a Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month…so here we are!
Congrats to Shell for being my winner for April…and a HUGE thank you to her again for the inspiration! You can check out her Mom Sexy post here.
Want to be the featured Mom Sexy Blogger of the Month for May? I will be posting reminders as we get closer, but mark your calendar for Monday, April 26th for your chance to participate and be the May winner! I can’t wait to see who else is BRINGING MOM SEXY BACK!

I love this meme!! Great choice on having Shell as your first feature she is awesome.
I will definitely be participating. Love it!
Love it!!! We definitely need the encouragement to feel Mom Sexy!!!!
You already know I love this one, so thanks to you and Shell for making it happen. I posted about how I brought Mom Sexy back earlier this week. Looking forward to participating in the future!
How fun! We can all use that reminder every so often. Once a month is just perfect
I think this sounds like fun- good idea! Looking forward to participating!
How exciting!!!!!! So happy to be a part of this. Let’s bring mom sexy back
Shell rocks! This sounds like a fun new thing!
I will be looking forward to April 26th to participate! I found you through Shell’s blog and my cousin who did your What the Heck? Wednesday meme yesterday for the first time.
I’m following you now.
How exciting! I would LOVE to get my Mom Sexy back…but I think it’s in the wash. I just can’t manage to get it together enough to get a shower every day, let alone feel SEXY. Great meme. =)
What a great idea, looking forward to participating ;D
I love this! Can’t wait to join in.
I think this is such a great idea to really give moms a chance to feel like they actually CAN be sexy again! I know I need the help!
This is awesome!
Congrats Shell!! You rock
This is a great idea. Love Shell!
This is a fabulous idea! I know I have my days when I don’t feel sexy at all. Then my husband compliments me and my attitude changes. This will help keep that sexy vibe going. I’m following now from Shell’s blog.
Genius! Great idea, girl! And who better to start with than Shell?!
Very cool. Congrats to Shell!!
Great Idea! Do any of us “Dad”s qualify? lol…
Very cool.. at my age I could use some sexy back for sure.
Well done Shell… love her blog
This is great!! I think a lot of us need that little bit of extra “mom sexy” inspiration, especially when we discover the day has flown past us and will are still in our “whatever was for lunch that day” stained sweat pants. You rock.
Love it, Love it, Love it! AND, this first Mom Sexy post is coincidentally on the first day of my new eating and exercising plan!
I am going to shake my booty to night for my first day of getting my sexy back!
Love it!
I can’t believe I’ve just discovered your blog. What a fun place to visit! Really looking forward to the sexy mom monthly posts. I need some guidance in this area. Extreme guidance.
I’ll be sure to join your twitter site so that you do not get lost in blogland,
Take care,
Dana
Wonderful idea! Cant wait to participate
Sexy Mom is such a fabulous idea! Love it!
What a great idea. And this is going to help me with my self esteem issues. Congrats Shell.
I think this was meant to be an inspiration to me. My hubby and I have been talking about how I hate my post-baby body but he thinks I look better than ever. I need something to help me shift the way I see myself, so participating in this and seeing what all of the other hot mamas say will give me some encouragement.
I’m glad you and your readers are here to inspire me!
Yay! I’m so glad that you decided to do this! It’s just what we need as moms!
Such a wonderful idea!!! I think it’s empowering and entertaining!! So fun to hear other women’s stories!!! LOVE IT!!
Hi stopping by from Shell’s blog! This is such a fabulous idea! I’ve been working on bringing sexy back for a few months now, when I feel good I oooze good ya know. This is fun!
I am also a new follower!
Way to go Shell!! xoxo
FABULOUS idea for a meme! And I have to share with you that after I returned from BBC in Baltimore and was ranting and raving about all the fabulous people I met and their wonderful blogs and the great speakers, and on and on…my eldest son’t (FABULOUS)girlfriend was inspired to start a blog, and her first post was inspired by your last pre-Baltimore post (ya know, the bra?). So there’s a new blogger in the world thanks to you. And I promise to stop using the word FABULOUS so much as soon as I can find a another word that conveys my enthusiam adequately.
Great idea…..Love it…After a hard week, spending a relaxing hour of blog hopping.
So glad I stopped by your blog. Happy Easter

I am all for bringing the Sexy back. I got my sexy back lasy year and even wore a bikini at the beach. Not sure what happened after that so I am on my way back to sexy, I hope!
Sounds like so much fun!!!
♥ it! This is totally awesome! I definitely will be brining the sexy! {huge hugs}
Oh what fun! I can’t wait to read about all of the lovely ladies you will feature! I will be also starting a monthly meme…soon….in the works
Love this idea!!! I think you’ve started a revolution!! Sexy moms everywhere are raising their voices. I hope to be featured as sexy mom blogger. What an inspiration!!
What a great idea!! I’m so getting back on the saddle come Monday! I’m planning on spinning off these chubs once and for all.
Anyway since I’ll be MIA this weekend from the blog world spending time with family,
Happy Easter to you and yours!! Catch u back here Monday
Oh this sounds like sooooo much fun!! I cannot wait!
You know, you could even get a sponsor for this meme – just email me I have some ideas a brewing!! It is totally up to you, but let’s chat
I was sitting here in my hotel room, (we are visiting family) and it late I should be sleeping. Everyone else is. But I really wanted something fun to read, something with sustenance, something to make me laugh and feel good all at the same time. THANK YOU for being there! I adore your writing! I only hope I can be as dedicated to quality WRITING as you are. I seem to lose my focus as I try to make money with my blog. Writing is my true passion and so is reading. I big fat puffy heart this blog
Great, super-dee-duper idea!
Awesome, girl! I LOVE that you are focusing on moms still being hot! It is so, so wrong that too many women ignore this about themselves…and that so many women think it is WRONG to be hot and a mother! Yes, being a mother is THE most important job in the world, and it is my first job, but it sure isn’t my ONLY job!
(Sorry I’m commenting late…I was out of town for the weekend and–gasp–left my laptop behind.)
OH OH OH I can’t wait til the end of April..what a fun thing to do. I need to read the original post too….rock on sexy mums!!!
I Love it! Not sure about others but for me you bring “Mom Sexy” back has inspired me to remember what it was like before house, kids, work, business, dog, cat etc… I think we get caught up in our day to day lives that we forget what we USED to be like and think at times that the way were is over and done with but you know what?! We need to feel good for ourselves whether it’s doing Zumba, running or getting our hair done (which is what I did a few weeks back and BOY did it feel good). So THANK YOU and have a blast shaking it at Zumba!

This is awesome and just what I need right now. I just left the doctor’s office, where they had the nerve to mention the “M” word to me. Feeling old but ready to embrace my sexy. I may need a little push along the way, but I’ll get there.
I couldn’t wait! I had to post my Mom Sexy blog early! In fact, I decitated a new page to it:
http://www.christopherdecker.net/p/mom-sexy.html
I’m sure I’ll respond to your post on the 26th, but you’ve got me motivated in a way that hasn’t happened for a long long while! Thank you!
Love it!! Great idea!! I am looking for more and more inspirations and motivation to get me to lose my last 10 pounds of the “Marriage 20″ (I didn’t participate in the Freshman 15, but I sure did hit the Marriage 20 and the Baby 50…).
I love this idea and I look forward to participating on the 26th
can not wait to stop by april 26th! this is such an awesome idea and something i try to remember every day – just because i’m a mom doesn’t mean i’m not sexy!
I love this! Thanks for the heads up. I will be here on Monday morning to link up. Us moms need to unite, we still have the sexy within us somewhere.
