The name of this blog comes from this sign. I first saw it on a two-week cross-country camping trip while moving from the US Pacific Northwest to Ontario, Canada. By the time we reached Yellowstone Mama was a little cranky, and the text of this sign–with the word “Mama” substituted for “buffalo”/”these animals”–has become part of our family shorthand.
That said, this is not a blog for my family. Please do not read it if you are related to me.
Or I will gore you.
Mama may appear tame, but she is a wild animal. DO NOT approach Mama….
