Jacqui Zadik

About Jacqui Zadik

Born and raised in Canada, Jacqui left her heart in San Francisco when she moved to L.A. MrsMuffinTop was born shortly after she became a mom, and found that the spare tire around her hips was there to stay! Finding the humor in everything, including her muffin top, Jacqui started sharing the stories that most moms feel and think about, but are too shy or embarrassed to say out loud.
Her writing can be seen on Babble, Huffington Post, The Today Show and more. Her work has been translated into several different languages, and has appeared on national television.

5 Ways For Moms To Have Manners In A World of Technology

July 13, 2019 by Jacqui Zadik Leave a Comment

How many times have you gone to a kid's birthday party, and gotten a mass email as a thank you? It seems like this is norm lately, and I have to admit, it bugs me. If I bought your child a present, wrapped it threw it into a five dollar gift bag with tissue paper, and then endured screaming kids for two hours on a sugar high at the indoor bouncy place, I think I can expect, at … [Read more...] about 5 Ways For Moms To Have Manners In A World of Technology

The Five Moms Of Girls Night Out

September 22, 2016 by Jacqui Zadik Leave a Comment

Who doesn't love a Girl's Night Out (GNO)?  Time to relax, let loose, complain about husbands/kids/other friends.  It's always something to look forward to, especially when it's with a group of moms.  Y'now, the ones that have kids the same age as yours, and you all just "click" and have a great time together. Much like an episode of Sex and the City, all the moms have very … [Read more...] about The Five Moms Of Girls Night Out

Let’s Change The Way We Talk About Rape

March 30, 2015 by Jacqui Zadik Leave a Comment

I hate using the word rape.  When I think of rape, I think of a woman being viciously attacked and forced upon. That's not my story. My story is much different.  It happened when I was twenty, freshly transplanted from Canada to the Bay Area.  Lonely and eager for friends, I found a welcoming group that loved hockey -- a familiar and comfortable past time.  We went to the home … [Read more...] about Let’s Change The Way We Talk About Rape

End the Mommy Wars

March 5, 2015 by Jacqui Zadik Leave a Comment

I love reading. I'll read anything. Cheesy romance novels, NY Times Best Seller list, magazines, blogs, I even read the side panel of my tampon boxes. As a mom to three young children, I don't always have the time to read lengthy novels, so I spend my sporadic free time reading mommy blogs. There are so many good ones out there, *cough-present-one-included-cough* with such … [Read more...] about End the Mommy Wars

How to Think Like a Mom

January 15, 2015 by Jacqui Zadik Leave a Comment

My eyes open.  I look at the clock: 5:36 am.  I hear the baby babbling in his crib over the monitor, as I try to shake the fogginess out of my brain. What day is it?  It's Tuesday, yes, Tuesday.  Ugh.  Only Tuesday?  Did I make the kids lunch last night?  Shit, I forgot.  I've got to get it together.  Oh, isn't today share day for miss muffin top?  Damn it, who was I … [Read more...] about How to Think Like a Mom
