Meet the Sampas

Welcome mothers, fathers, and kids to the Sampa family blog.

Sampa is our family name. We’re a possibly inbred, definitely certifiable family from New Jersey. This blog for imperfect parents. Three things you won’t find here:  Gross pictures of babies eating spaghetti (not cute), martyr mom rants (no one cares how tired you are), and anything celebrating the “joys” of parenting (most days, it’s a job, not a joy.)

We focus on the unsaid stuff of parenting, written by a mom once ostracized from a play group for saying “dildo” in front of a few rosy-cheeked infants.  (To my defense, the babies couldn’t even walk yet, let alone coo the “offensive” term.)

Sensitive suburban mothers, this blog ain’t for you.  Tune in for toy rants, hilarious parenting fails, the latest “Oprah Said”, and more.  The Sampa family embraces parents who fell off the pedestal and hit their heads a little too hard on the way down.

Call us what you will. We won’t tell you how to be perfect. We will tell you how to be awesome.
