I'm always amazed how kids say the darndest things to parents. In this case - my 4-year old decided to take out her frustrations with us (mom and dad) but instead of telling us directly how she felt, she whipped out the Doodle Pad and went with a more passive aggressive approach.

I love that my girls get to see my parents quite often. And I love it even more that my parents are always up for hosting the gals for a few nights. I'm telling ya, it's like a win-win. The girls get great bonding time with their grandparents and the hubby and I get to reconnect. But what I can't stand is the 48-hour "grandparent detox" period I have to endure when my daughters return. It just plain sucks! Take a look. [» CLICK HERE TO WATCH VIDEO]

I honestly wish I had purchased a Svan or Anka high chair when I was in the market for one a few years ago. I ended up buying one of those plastic ones that's a pain to keep clean and a total eyesore. These blend in well in a household, they're great for small spaces and can be used well after babyhood!

So what is "LizzieBtv" and why should you care? Well, I'm LizzieB - a former tv news anchor and reporter who spent 15-plus years working days, nights, early mornings, holidays and weekends to bring viewers the news of the day.
For a good long time, I thrived on reporting breaking news and anchoring from the set. The daily dose of heart pumping adrenaline was addictive. But several years ago I took a fabulous life detour. I got married, had a baby, quit my tv news job and ended up with a nasty dose of postpartum depression. (It's real Tom, just ask Brooke!)
In the blink of an eye, I went from a career woman dressed in snazzy suits with very big hair and camera ready makeup to a crazy lady who was constantly harried, unprepared and disheveled. I won't lie, I was a new mom and I was a mess.
Fortunately, my love for reporting kicked in and I delved into researching all things mom-related.
Look, I'm no expert. I'm a real mom, wife, friend and daughter trying to balance it all. I don't know everything and never will, but I have learned a few parenting tips and tricks along the way and I want to share them with you. And hopefully you can enlighten me with your motherhood triumphs and challenges as well.
Whether you stay for two minutes or two hours - thanks for dropping by LizzieBtv... the place where you'll always find "views of a real mom" not a super mom. Welcome to the journey!
