For those of you have been having Jerzday withdrawals, we now have Snooki & JWOWW Tuesdays. And, unlike last season, each episode is an hour instead of a half an hour. I'm not going to lie: I do find both of these girls extremely entertaining. However, the first season of this show, at times, was like watching paint dry. I mean, I'm a girl I know what we do on a daily basis; it's nothing special or magical. It was straight-up boring. However, this season I am excited for!

MOMS CLUB of Ellicott City is holding a baby shower. That may not sound like a big deal for an organization made up of at-home mothers, but this baby shower is a little different. It's for the birth of two new MOMS Club chapters. With more than 130 members, the Ellicott City club has grown too large to be a single organization. The two new chapters will be MOMS Club of Ellicott City North/Woodstock and MOMS Club of Ellicott City South. Ellicott City North will encompass the area north of U.S. 40, while Ellicott City South will be for mothers who live east of New Cut Road and Routes 104 and 108. The existing chapter, which will be for members who live west of New Cut Road and Routes 104 and 108, but south of U.S. 40, will be Ellicott City Center.
