Let's face it, being "Momalicious" isn't easy. Some days I look in the mirror and say "how the heck did I get here!?" Some might think "what's the big deal?" But if you see what I see looking back at me in the mirror you'd understand. Check out this video for a glimpse of just a few of my many beauty flaws.

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!
HA HA Lizzie B! So funny!!! But here’s the honest to goodness truth . . . they don’t love their kids as much as we do. . . . and that’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it. HA!
Let’s plan a girls weekend and make time for us! Let’s do it!
I am the WORST of those moms! I look sooooo bad when I drive Julia to school and run around on errands it is ridiculous.
And plucking my eyebrows? Yeah, maybe before I head off to a blogging event… but that’s about it.
Ok, so my trick is baseball caps. The shadow they create over the brows that haven’t been plucked (or arched as they say in cosmo class) work great when in a rush or you just get larger sun glasses! As for the mustache, that is just clearly unacceptable. Sally Hansen cream hair removal is the answer. Put in on for 10 minutes after kids go to bed and you’ve got a temp quick fix.
Oh, and finger nails? Who needs them anyway. Toes are a completely different story. Nasty feet are just plain gross.
