I want to say a swear word so badly but know it is not always good when I am trying to be the perfect soccer mom and getting more Brands to take me seriously! hahaha I can hear you all thinking , Mel Martin couldn't behave if she tried ! #KeepingItReal is my MOTTO ! No time for fake pics and nonsense..
