About

Darlene “Screamin” Pistocchi is the proud mother of two and the founder and creator of ScreaminMamas.


Darlene spends enormous amounts of time ranting, raving, eating and dieting from our South Florida Headquarters. She teaches high school English, Media, Film & Debate and has taught music, theatre and writing to adults, girlscouts and children of all ages.

At other times she tries desperately to focus on finishing projects, launching her business, paying the bills and making sure everyone is fed, even though one of the two has flown the coop. Love them both dearly!

You can visit her (past) biz website at harmoniproductions.com. or her personal website, darlenepistocchi.blogspot.com, though there might not be a whole lot going on there since she spends most of her time here.

Darlene’s many rants bring us “Teenage Tales of Terror”, “Dieting Dilemmas”, which you can find under humor, and on occasion she whips up a FairyTale or Poem instead of a bowl of pasta.

Motherhood
Behind the voice of motherhood A million strong of precious good The most amazing group to walk this earth Endowing life, the gift of birth. Blessed are they, to carry such power A fierceness that only a mom can endower From newborns to toddlers, teens and beyond Their wings stretch with them, an iridescent bond. No matter how tough the road is to travel They power through with their children as their lives unravel The bumps and the potholes and the trials of life They twist and they turn...

Learning to Fly
God, I love my kids. They are my life! But now they have reached their twenties and it's time for me to let go. Completely. This is so very hard, especially after being a single parent for so long. Everything I have done has been for them. I have forgotten what it's like to live for me. Well, now I need to stop. I have to stop worrying about the choices they make, the decisions they make. I have to stop worrying about feeding them, picking up after them, worrying about them when they get a...

Shall We Dance?
So I was having a bright moment with the kids in the kitchen the other day. We were cooking pasta and chicken and somehow the subject of dancing came about. Of course I had to chime in about what a great dancer I was back in the day - disco and rock. I mean, I danced with the best of them - doing the hustle and banging my head! As I was shaking my hip and enjoying the moment, my son said to me, "So, Mom, you're really talking about waltzing, right? Since you were born in like the 1800's?"...

H.E.L.P.!
Mamas, why is diet always an issue????  It's been a few months since I posted about the dreadful "D" word because I thought I might actually have it under control. NOT!  In truth, I just plain lost track of all the pasta and calories.  After finally trying to squeeze into the last pair of stretch pants and careful observation, I realize this issue is still alive and growing - AT ALARMING RATES!!! And the Holidays are here!!!!  AI Image by Freepik.com All I ask for Christmas is - H.E.L.P.!...

The Princess & The Dragon
Fairy Tales Once upon a time there seemed to be a Prince charming and romantic a gentle touch and tender kiss… Until his Lady found out this was not the case at all but the Prince instead of greatness had been taking a great fall!

She prayed and turned to God for true guidance from above and little did she know Our great Father showed his Love He blessed her and her children Kept...
