So, I cried this morning. After dropping my son off at school, I got in my car and I ugly cried. Bawling, snot dripping down my chin, and mascara burning my eyes. I dropped my son off in his pajamas. He didn’t get dressed for school and the rule is — you only ask once or…
The Ultimate Facebook Challenge - 30 Days of NO Facebook
Could you disconnect from Facebook for 30 days? 60? 90? When you close your eyes and think about life without Facebook, what feelings immediately arise? Worry, fear of missing out… or elation? Last night, after an especially joyful day (follow me on Instagram to hear about my exciting news), I snuggled into bed, pushed my…
My Only Goal For Today
Mommy rage. It’s such a strange sensation and like nothing I’ve experienced prior to having children. The blood goes hurling up to my head. A pit the size of a baseball forms in my stomach. And I scream. And shake. And lose control. Sometimes, afterward, I try to look at the experience as a fly…
Prayers, Meditation, and Staying Happy When Things Get Ugly
You wouldn’t know it on social media. The cute baby pics remain on Facebook, my Instagram continues to offer tips on healthy living and thriving. My Twitter remains a hub for stupid, random jokes that hardly make sense half of the time. But for some aspects of my life now, the you-know-what has hit the fan….
Mommy Rage is Real, and It’s No Joke
What is this strange sensation coming over me? My son just spilled his hot cocoa after I had warned him several times to be extremely careful. This was a good 20 minutes after both my kids spilled their berry smoothies all over our carpet. Yes — gasp — the carpet. Enter mom rage. The sensation…
Why I Sent My Kid to School With No Pants
So I sent my son to school with no pants today. Yesterday I sent him to school with no lunch. You’re probably calling CPS right now… hear me out for just a minute. First, I need to vent. I’m having the hardest time of my life right now. Parenting is just hands down the most…
I’m a Mom With No Freaking Clue
You guys, I have no idea what I’m doing. It’s crazy, right? As moms, aren’t we supposed to have the nurture and development chip hardwired within us? Shouldn’t I be confident in every decision I make for my children, every form of encouragement, discipline, and caretaking? I have two kids who depend on me to…
Let Mama Take a Nap, For Pete’s Sake
Disclaimer: I was provided free product in exchange for my honest review. However, the opinions expressed are entirely my own. I’m tired, y’all. I haven’t had a full night’s sleep in almost five years. Even now that my babies sleep through the night, I wake up several times anyway to pee, worry, check to see if…
What Every New Mom Needs
I had lunch with a friend yesterday. She was talking about a girlfriend who recently had a baby. She was not adjusting well, felt alone and unprepared, and needed support and guidance. My heart lurched just thinking about it. I’ve so been there. In fact, you couldn’t pay me to go back there. A newborn baby,…
In Defense of the Controversial Binkie
It was a dark and stormy night. The baby was beleaguered in misery, screaming until his throat croaked, until his face was as flush as a fire engine. But the binkie was nowhere to be found. It sounds like the title to a horror story, right moms? But no, this is not a horror story. My…
