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 ... Read More
My sweet baby girl just turned ONE, and I was so excited to finally compile her monthly baby photos! I don't think it was until I posted this collage on Instagram that anyone realized there was any rhyme or reason behind the shirts my husband was wearing in each of the photos... But, TA-DA! I was ... Read More
With Easter around the corner, I know for many of us moms, it can be a struggle to find things to fill our kid's Easter baskets with that aren't sugar or "more useless junk" (you know, the kind of thing that will be played with for approximately 5 seconds and then immediately discarded on the floor ...

Hey, you. Yeah you, with the whiney, “poor me, I’m so tired and don’t get to poop by myself” attitude. You, who dreams of the day your kids can all buckle their own seatbelts, sleep through the night, and eat their food without 75% of it ending up in their lap/floor/hair/down their ... 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...
