About

Corine (aka Complicated Mama) is a suburban “housewife” & Mommy of 2 (4 yo boy and 16 mo.baby girl) living in Central New Jersey; whimsically blogging to an audience of other “Complicated Mama’s” who are seeking balance in this full time permanent position (that never came with a welcome packet of instructions and expectations), commonly reffered to as MOTHER, MOMMY, MOM … or (the more popular) MA!

The transition from workin gal’ to full time Laundry Fairy, Family Nutrtionist, Personal Chauffeur … “SAHM” ((shivers at the label)) was not one that was made without a fight, but after The Complicated Boy was sent home sick from the germ infirmary daycare one too many times- the decision had to be made…. and a las, Corine was sentenced made the leap to staying home with the kids,  while her handsome Knight in Shining Armor, Mr.Complicated enjoys a quiet 2 hour bus ride and adult interaction, daily brings home the bacon.

A member of the Blogging community since 2003, when she was convinced being single was the most complicated thing life could bring & that she was the Carrie Bradshaw of Staten Island, NY- Complicated Mama really kicked up her blogging into high gear in 2008, when Baby #2 arrived– colicky.

Since then, she often suffers from “mommy brain”, worries more than she should about things Dr. Google diagonses her and her family with and struggles with Mount Wash-more, that resides in her basement.

Through her high activity in the social media and Blogging Communities, this self proclaimed “geek” gets her fix of adult conversation by her daily interactions with her readers and “virtual co-workers” on twitter,  all while remaining sane free from a room with rubber walls.

In addition to her own site, Complicated Mama is also a contributing writer for The NYMetropolista (movers, shakers and baby makers) as well as NJ.com/parenting.

The UNCOMPLICATED Cast :

*Mr Complicated*
Though you will often occasionally see posts ranting about The Mr. The truth is he is the sweetest man alive (married to me- he’s got to be), and ironically simple. He is the yin to this Mama’s complicated yang.

*The Complicated Boy* (aka His Majesty)
Always keeping Mama on her toes & full of character- Complicated boy is definitely his momma’s off spring; this impatient, strong minded 4 yo can make you go AWW or ARRGGHH! and still love him either way.

*Princess Complicated*
Super adorable, and definitely more like her daddy, this baby girl still makes me secretly scared cause I know what drama my future holds … there is no CALMNESS in the tween and teen years as I recall…. and I have no idea HOW my mother survived.
