Dear Husband, I think we’d both agree that marriage is hard. We knew that going into this thing. Or at least, we thought we knew it. The moment we got engaged, people were adamant about telling us how challenging marriage can be. But like everything else in life, it’s hard to actually ... Read More
To Dads with New Babies, When you first found out your wife was expecting, I’m sure you experienced your share of worries. Babies are weird creatures, after all, and there’s a lot to figure out – like just how much it’s going to cost you to add this new human to your family for the next ... Read More
DISCLAIMER: If you do not enjoy The Bachelor/ette TV series, if you think it's trashy, stupid, or you simply feel you are above that kind of smutt, then please, take a moment, and say your goodbyes. You will not find love here. Dear Monday, You owe The Bachelor a thank you. Before The ... Read More
We moved into our home 2 years ago, and to this day, I have never scrubbed the kitchen floor. Well, not really. Not unless you count wiping up spilled milk with your sock. I can also count on one hand the number of times the bathroom in the basement has been cleaned, and our guest bedroom ... Read More
Dear Husband, This season of life has been a challenging one. I know it shouldn’t come as a surprise, since people have always told us how hard the first few years of marriage can be. We are smack dab in the middle of those years, after all. And I know we are not the only ones feeling it. As ... Read More
(I wrote this letter to myself. Maybe you'll relate. Maybe you won't.) Your husband is not a punching bag. So stop taking all of your stress out on him. You wanted this life. You love this life. You’re just tired and worn out. But, he probably is too. He worked hard all day too. He ... Read More
![They say, “Mommin’ Ain’t Easy.”
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.
Right now? You’re physically EXHAUSTED. You probably feel like a jack of all trades, but master of none. You are juggling the baby’s nap schedule, preschool drop-off, doctor appointments, and after school activities. 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...
