top motherhood posts

Being a mom is my full-time job. I have two 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.

  • I wanted to say a special THANKS to all of you who took the time to share in the excitement of my family's little announcement a few days ago! We are feeling all kinds of emotions over here (and by 'we' I mostly just mean 'me.'). & while I had fun thinking up a fun picture to announce our news, there’s a few other things I also wanted to tell you about my pregnancy that you can’t see through my feed. First, the only reason I shared my news at 10 weeks is because my belly is already as big as most women who are already half way through their pregnancies. I literally COULDN’T hide it anymore. Also, in the past 5 weeks since I found out I was pregnant, I’ve already gained 10 pounds (with 30 more weeks to go). The only time I don’t feel nauseous is while eating, oddly enough, so I’ve been eating non-stop. Like NON-stop. Oh, and did I mention that I haven’t worked out once? I typically try and work out a few times/wk, but since finding out about this pregnancy, I’ve been too busy trying to find the energy to get up off the couch to go pee for the 739th time. At this point, I’m just trying to keep my two kids alive and questioning how many movies is too many in one day. I drink coffee every day, without fail. I’ve been in maternity clothes since 8 weeks. I’ve eaten more turkey sandwiches from Jimmy John’s than I should admit (judge away). And my face resembles that of my 16-year old, acne-prone self. I’m sharing all of this because, I see so many women on social media who seem to have these “perfect” pregnancies with their barely-there bumps, their intense workout regimens, their stylish maternity wardrobes, perfect hair, and crazy amazing self-control. But that’s not me. And I just wanted to share a glimpse of my true REALITY. Because if you're anything like me, then you sometimes find yourself feeling pressure to live up to some false perception of reality portrayed by social media. And that's just silly. Because no one is perfect. And I'm guessing that behind most "picture perfect" feeds are a lot of other mamas like me, surviving one Domino's pizza at a time.🍕😜❤️
