top motherhood posts
Being a mom is my full-time job. I have three young children, and this role has been more challenging and rewarding than I ever could have imagined. I often share my honest thoughts about this season of life, and I wanted to round-up my “best stuff” and put it all in one place for you.

They’re right.
Especially in the early years of motherhood, when you’re somewhere in your late 20s or early 30s, and have multiple little kids/babies, likely all under the age of 8 years old. At some point in the last decade of your life, everything you knew changed, DRASTICALLY. Your house is now littered with brightly colored junk, your laundry piles look more like mountains, and you find yourself totally exhausted, in every way. You know it will get easier. You do.
But right now, it’s hard.

You are juggling the kids, the house, your marriage, whatever friendships you have managed to hold onto, and maybe a job too. You are dealing with runny noses, the terrible two’s, and another stomach bug. You are dealing with sudden inexplicable sleep regressions, constant dinnertime battles, and endless bedtime requests. You are dealing with “MOMMM, he hit me!!” and poop-splosions, and a runaway toddler, sometimes all in the exact same moment!
Your days are filled with monotony, and that too, is somehow exhausting. You feel like you’re doing everything on repeat – the laundry, making another meal that no one will eat, emptying the dishwasher, or begging someone to PLEASE go get their shoes on so you can get out the door on time. No matter how many times you do something, it always seems to be waiting for you again – the bottle parts that need rinsing, the clothes that need to be folded, and the kid who needs to be chased down to get their pants on, every single time.
And even once the kids are finally in bed, there are emails to answer, toys to put away, and lunches to make. You have lofty goals and endless to-do lists that never get touched, because by the time you finish wiping down the counters, you can’t imagine doing even one more thing.
Right now? You’re mentally OVERLOADED. You have so many decisions to make...
