Hey there, fellow not-so-cool moms! If you’re anything like me, you might feel that your cool factor has taken a nosedive since becoming a parent. But don’t worry! I’ve got ten fun tricks to help you channel your inner coolness—think of yourself as the mom version of a rockstar, even if you’re rocking a nursing bra.

1. Incorporate Slang: Ditch the formalities! Instead of asking, “How are you?” try “Sup?” And when you’re feeling indifferent, flash a big “W” with your fingers. Trust me, it’s still relevant, so get with it, girl!
2. Jam to Trendy Tunes: I used to think I was on top of things by listening to Sirius Alt Nation, but then I stumbled upon Sirius XMU. The “U” might mean “university,” or maybe it’s just a cool way of saying “you.” I’ll keep you updated on that!
3. Dress to Impress: Right now, crop tops are all the rage. You can fake it by wearing high-rise nude pantyhose up to your ribcage. Boom—instant coolness!
4. Talk About Your Wild Side: Casually mention your desire for a wild night with your husband, like, “I’d love a threesome, but finding a sitter for that late is tough.” Just decline any sitters he suggests if they can’t teach your kids Mandarin or chess.
5. Get Adventurous with Friends: Go for fun activities like paint nights or scrapbooking. Pro tip: bring a flask filled with a wine cooler. Anything stronger could leave you too groggy to function at 5 AM with a toddler.
6. Embrace New Gadgets: Keep up with technology! Your smartphone can take pictures, connect to the Internet, and let you download “apps.” I’m still on the hunt for Friendster, but I’ll let you know if I find it.
7. Get Social Online: Remember, Instagram isn’t just for your kids. Snap selfies from above to avoid those pesky double chins! And don’t forget to take “ussies” with your partner doing everyday things, like shopping for canned goods at Costco.
8. Master the Hashtags: Make everything sound cooler by adding a hashtag. For instance, when you’re picking up your sick kid, you can say, “Hashtag mom life, hashtag is it really 24 hours fever-free?” Everyone will be so impressed, and don’t forget to capture their reaction for Instagram—hashtag no filter!
9. Watch Indie Films: Consider watching something like The Fault in Our Stars. It’s super obscure, so if you can’t find it, don’t sweat it. Just say “hashtag hipster life” while posting a cute pic of you and your husband with flasks in front of Netflix.
10. Stay Trendy in Parenting: Parenting styles change all the time. So, hover over your kids while they play outside with questionable animals, balancing it with lessons on their social media presence. Hashtag cool mom, hashtag is that a raccoon?

So there you have it! With these tips, you can feel just a little cooler in your mom life, even if you’re still figuring it all out.
