IT'S GOOD TO BE THE QUEEN is an international party of moms – who only have boys - who celebrate being the only source of estrogen in their castle and support each other as we face the challenges of raising responsible, respectful men.

How It All Began

It was July 2001. I was lying there on the exam table in the oh-so fashionable paper dress -- expanding belly exposed with cold goop on it. The sono tech glided over me as hubby looked on. They read the screen. I read them.

Suddenly they both jumped. "Did you see that?" she asked. "I saw something but I don't know what it was," Hubby said. "We call that proof it's a boy." she said. Life without girls in my home was a certainty.

So what was it exactly that made me realize that I needed support from my boys-only sisters? Perhaps it was when I told my oldest for the millionth time that his athletic cup did not belong on coffee table. Or possibly when the 5 year old started a roly poly collection in his underwear drawer? Or could it have been when the baby mastered the art of projectile spewing with a mouthful of peas? Oh, who knows! It happened!

The Road to Royalty

I can spot moms of boys a mile away. I can smell it on them. It's a certain twinkle, a smile that has something behind it. A particular glimmer that let's you know that she has the Dean's office, an orthopedic surgeon and a plumber on speed dial. I love my fellow Queens almost as much as my boys. You will too. So, regal moms of boys, let's get started on your Road to Royalty!
