Drama for Mama: The Bachelorette Men Tell All
By Cara Cleek Ogden I was looking forward to some juicy scoop this week on The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All special. I didn’t exactly hear any revelations, but there was a lot of gossip and trash-talking, which psyched me up for next week’s finale. The Men Tell All special is usually a non-event in my opinion, [...]

Mamas at the Movies: Twilight’s “Eclipse”
Well, we Motherlode mamas saw the movie “Eclipse” last night, along with a whole lot of other Twilight-lovin’ moms. We did NOT, however, bring our kids. We were pretty surprised when we spotted a few parents who had brought along their kids, some of whom didn’t look a day over the age of 6. Yikes! [...]

Drama for Mama: The Bachelorette

Drama for Mama: The Bachelorette
By Cara Cleek Ogden After last week’s cry-fest of an episode, where at least two men were brought to tears, I was anxious to see what kind of drama and excitement we were in for this week. Would either Justin or Jonathan cry again? Would Frank get jealous? Would everyone keep over-using the word “amazing”? Would Roberto flash his pearly [...]
Drama for Mama: The Bachelorette!
By Cara Cleek Ogden Things are starting to get interesting as Ali narrowed it down to twelve guys last night. There’s a lot of tension going on in the house, and in the middle of it all is Justin the wrestler (aka Rated “R”), who continues to assert that he’s here for the right reasons. A [...]

Drama for Mama: American Idol Finale Performances
By Gwen Rockwood I predict it’s going to be a close one, mamas! Going into the final night of competition on American Idol, I really felt like Lee DeWyze was going to walk away with the title. Last week he hit his stride and seemed to be bringing a lot of momentum into tonight. Crystal [...]
