Welcome to the 37th Mommy Reality Challenge!
Hosted by Jen from JENerally Informed and Celeste from Leapfrog and Lipgloss!
If this is your first time hearing about the Mommy Reality Challenge we are so glad you are joining this great community of moms who participate in our bi-weekly challenges that showcase all the fun, crazy, and sometimes overwhelming moments that are in every mom’s life!
Please don’t just read. This is an INTERACTIVE post! Come join in all the fun!
The Rules are Simple!
- We will announce the theme.
- You will write a post or take a pic, post it to the social media account of your choice with the hashtag #mommyreality and then link it up to this blog post!
- Then in two weeks, we will announce our favorites and award a meme to the winner. The winner can then co-host the next challenge with us!
Just a little background on how our challenges are selected- Jen and Celeste take turns writing the post and creating the winning meme from the last challenge.
This week it’s Jen’s turn!
For the last challenge, Celeste asked us Moms to share pics our stuffed animal buried alive pics. From the pictures we saw, we do believe that there are ENTIRE days, maybe even weeks, where children might go missing lost among the myriad of stuffed animals! We truly saw some no joke, pack rat collecting brought to us via all of our adorable offspring. Thanks to everyone who submitted pictures and posts, there were so many really great entries we hope you all come back to play for this next challenge!
So without further ado, the winner of Mommy Reality #36: Buried Alive is…..
Leslie from Pampers, Play Dates &Parties!
Leslie submitted a post of her adorable smiling girls, in a literal sea of stuffed animals! The sheer quantity of stuffed animals, and those cute girls had all of the makings for a Mommy Reality winner! Plus who doesn’t like a good game of “Where’s Waldo” with a Mommy Reality twist!
Leslie, we hope you enjoy your meme and that you can join us as our Mommy Reality co-host in two weeks!
Our runner up Mommy Reality pick comes from Janine of Encourage Play for an Instagram picture she submitted. Janine’s picture was just screaming make me a meme too, so……
Here you go!
Minds blown, right?

Now It’s Time For A NEW Challenge:
Mommy Reality 37’s theme is… Real Life, Reel Time!
Hi Jen again here! The school year officially ended 8 days ago. Not that I am counting or anything….. Anyway, it’s summer, YAY!
Part of the time honored tradition for Moms and Dads everywhere and especially during the summer, is the wonderful world of videos, animated cartoons and movies. What this means is that quite often little Suzie will take a liking to a particular Strawberry Shortcake video and as parents we will watch that same movie over and over again with our beloved children, to the point where we can quote every line and sing every song.
So for this Mommy Reality challenge we want to know what Real Life, Reel Time is going down in your house!
To kick things off here are what reel’s are being watched in Jen’s house:
There is an awful lot of this guy. Who has a curious resemblance to a certain toddler that lives in her house…..
Here’s another favorite of the 7 year old daughter, because the 80’s were rad!
And of course, this.
Jen’s poor lone boy, huh? Anyway, before we go here is the current best seat in the house for Jen’s toddler to watch her “toons”.
And that’s Mommy Reality for you folks!
Now it’s your turn to share! What movies are “you” watching over and over again in your house?
You have 2 weeks to share, but don’t wait 2 weeks!
You can share the pic in a post or on your favorite social media outlet.
Don’t forget to grab our super-nifty button!
✔ *By submitting your pic, you are giving the Mommy Reality Team permission to use your photo to create a special silly meme for you if you win! :). If you win and you’re a blogger, you also have the opportunity to be our co-host!
✔ **The Mommy Reality team and our special co-host are VERY diligent in pinning, posting, and sharing the link-up participation every week, so make sure to follow us on our social media channels so you won’t miss out!

Comments
What can I say, but that it looks like it is Frozen all the way here, too for my girls or at least some form of Disney or Disney princesses, too!! ;)
Janine Huldie recently posted…After The Baby Years Comes…The Sweet Spot of Parenting??
Ah yes, I am sure you can sing every Princess song ever made too, right?
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
My son is on a Curious George kick too! He watched the entire series on Netflix…and wants to restart it. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve watched Curious George Swings into Spring.
Janine Halloran recently posted…Gardening with Kids
“We are the Weiner dogs!” I caught myself singing that very song just this morning while making breakfast. It is rather catchy! Luckily, George is cute and I can deal with him, but some of the other shows my kids want to watch are a totally different story.
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
I missed the stuffed animals one damn! My kids are obsessed with the LEGO FRIENDS DVD. Drives me BONKERS!
Kristen recently posted…Playtime with Dara Torres
Ah yes, LEGO friends…. Condolences. Dang those toy/movie makers that create toys my children want!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
Well since we don’t have little ones around anymore I’ll go with my granddaughter and her little one. Frozen would be the answer. How fun.
Have a fabulous day and weekend. ☺
Comedy Plus recently posted…Feline Friday
I have yet to meet a little girl that does not love that movie. As a big girl I love that movie! Your granddaughter has good taste :)
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
Yay!!! She will love you for publishing that someday ;). But that’s the way to go with watching toons at that age! I did the same thing with my girls :)
Celeste @ Leapfrog and Lipgloss recently posted…Mommy Reality 37 & Link Up
I know the poor kids of a blogger! Nah :)
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
Hi Jen, wow what fun this last challenge was and I enjoyed co-hosting with you and Celeste! Jen you are going to make Bosco famous LOL and he looks so cute and was such a trooper with me putting those stuffed animals around him. I will have to think of what movie we love watching. Have a wonderful weekend.
Julie recently posted…Good News and Blog Changes
He is a super cute little guy! I think he needs his own Instagram account! Thank you so much for Co-Hosting with us, you were great!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
The comments section need to support about a dozen smiling emoji’s or a gif of Sally Field saying “You like me, you really like me!” Thanks so much for choosing my little crazies and their crazy amount of stuffed animals this time. Janine’s post was a good one, too. The Reel Time challenge will be fun…and will require some explanation – can’t wait! And I look forward to collaborating with you in two weeks!
Leslie recently posted…{Tutorials} Self-Watering Planter
The picture you submitted was amazingly adorable, so thank you for submitting it! Because it just had to be turned into a meme. Ooh, I am intrigued by your video lead in…. Can’t wait!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
I knew Leslie would win lol when I saw that picture on her website! With that giant bear and everything!
Nina recently posted…12 Unique Father’s Day Gift Ideas He’ll Love
The sheer amount of stuffed animals and those smiling girls really screamed make me a meme, but then those legs sticking out of the stuffed animals also needed a meme. It was just such a fun challenge all the way around!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
Star Wars in this house! Can you believe it? That’s how their parents met too. Through Cassidy working for LucasFilm and me being his star-struck sales rep.
True love.
Also, I’m so glad Leslie won! She deserved it!
Tamara recently posted…Becoming Neurotic Again.
I think that would have reeled me in too! My husband might have been star struck himself a little as well. He already wants to camp out in December for the new movie!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
Oh, I’m all over this. We heart us some movies.
April recently posted…The Water Challenge and the Giveaway Winner Announcement!
I know!! Because with 4 kids there has to be some movie time or we would never get to shower, right?
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
So true! I’ve already watched The Miracle Worker, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Mall Cop is up next. Plus lots of episodes of Shark Tank. At least none of them are animated though! :)
normaleverydaylife recently posted…$5 Fun
Mall Cop! Have to admit that hasn’t been viewed in a long time around here, maybe it is time to remedy that!
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
Love the stuffed animal photos! My family watches a lot of Doctor Who…
Akaleistar recently posted…The 5K Friend Date
Ah, we have yet to get into that. We are working our way there :)
Jen recently posted…Mommy Reality #37: Real Life, Reel Time
“Because we’re 80’s rad” Baha ha. Oh my goodness that made me laugh so hard. I am so glad my girls are over Frozen Fever…. until the next big show comes out we’re in the clear.
These posts are always so quirky, fun and adorable. Happy Tuesday!
Oh you know it! I use words like that all of the time, just so that my kids can look at me like I am speaking a different language!
I don’t know if my little girls ever tire of their princesses, we are on a constant loop with at least one of them!
Jen recently posted…The One Mistake Parents Make Every Summer And How To Avoid It
My kids just discovered Netflix and they are running through Puss in Boots and Woody Woodpecker like there’s no tomorrow! I’m just glad they know how to start it themselves!
Rabia @TheLiebers recently posted…Repeat Day: Repeat Day
Woody Woodpecker is on there? Good to know! I may need to sit and watch a few of those myself!
Jen recently posted…The One Mistake Parents Make Every Summer And How To Avoid It
LOL about the best seat in the house! I caught my daughter staring, perplexed, at Jem the other morning. She didn’t get it, alas.
Can I admit that sometimes when the Today show or GMA seems stupid that I actually prefer watching Curious George?! :)
I linked up my post from last year (ooo, did I break rules??) about how we watch Frozen incessantly. From the comments, it looks like we aren’t the only ones!
Katy @ Experienced Bad Mom recently posted…Experienced Bad Mom, Dream Crusher
Noo! Perfect! I have not watched GMA or the Today show in years! Someday….
Haha, I love that image of your daughter being perplexed by JEM!
