Sometimes I find myself lost in thought, wondering if my children ever take the time to think about my mommy-skills. Do they think I’m a good mom, a bad mom, or the best mom in the whole world? They probably don’t. They are 7 months and 2, so I’m sure they don’t have that in-depth …
If you’ve been keeping up with my posts, then you know that remembering the me before kids and feeling like the me before kids is something very important to me, and got lost somewhere along the way. Mom self-care is something people have been talking about more and more recently, and I knew it was important …

As we all know by now, and if you don’t you’re about to, toddlers are… special, as in, out of their little tiny minds. However, that doesn’t mean we should stop dead in our tracks with travel. Instead, I would actually encourage you to travel with your little ones, as we all need a little …
It’s 10pm and the kids finally fell asleep after they made me rush to their crib side 5 separate times (per kid). It’s now my time to relax, so, I immediately open that blue square app and start scrolling through Facebook to see what everyone’s up to, or maybe to check out the recent baby yoda …
Before I had children, I would sometimes picture what kind of mother I would be to my kids one day. I really really wanted to be the “cool mom” from Mean Girls as long as I could be respected by my kids as well as listened to. I imagined being a working mom of two beautiful, well-behaved …
Parenting is the most fulfilling “job” there is. However, at times it can leaves parents feeling overwhelmed and left with the guilt of feeling like they could do better. If you’re like me, then you’ll try to convince yourself that you are doing your best, which is enough for you and your kids. Unfortunately, this …
Hi, I haven’t been “me” in quite some time. I know it, you know it, our cat even knows it. As you know, our two kids can be really, really tough to take care of by yourself. I mean, up until a month ago, we had two kids under two and that seemed bad, …

As I lay my daughter in her crib for bed, I say “Goodnight”, even though I know I will be saying that word at least 5 more times to her throughout the night. It’s very rare that she falls asleep on the first “try.” More than likely I will be right back at her side …
Motherhood can be so wonderful in a way that makes you feel so full of life and grateful for what you have been gifted with. Being a parent is like no other feeling in the world, and it’s wonderful. However, motherhood has a secret side that she refuses to show others. They all told us …
Today defeated me. I simply lost. All day long. Everything I did seemed to go wrong, and my kids did everything they could (not on purpose) to make sure that I knew that. Today was just not a good day. My daughter threw a tantrum that seemed to last 5 hours (I’m not joking). …
