Get to know me: the theatrical release
I’m deep in the trenches of toddler and pre-schooler life, sacrificing precious paychecks in exchange for tantrums and top tier snuggles.
My OG plan was to be a rich NYT bestselling author at this point, but instead I’m rocking the full time mom life and loving the struggle. Besides, I’ll have time for awards and money once my kids are less dependent on me!
It will happen eventually, right?
Get to know me: the extended edition
I’ve been through the ringer with my angels (ahem . . . brats). I was supposed the “put together” mom. You know, the annoying one with her little cherubs on a strict routine, wrapped in their halo sleep sacks in the pillow-and-blanket-free crib and the owlet monitor all snug around their chubby feet.
Flip that. Now turn it upside down.
Loving them came instantly. Instinctively. Easily. Taking care of the little a-holes . . . turned out to be hard as hell. Mentally, spiritually, physically. The whole shebang.
Kids are the most wonderful burden. It’s hard to be a mama, and I often wonder why I did this to myself. But I promise you . . . I’ve never regretted it. Loving them is the biggest, most meaningful thing I’ll ever do.
And that’s the truth.
Why I’m sacrificing sacred naptime to type this up
For the past version of me. For the girl staring at the blinding cell phone screen at 2 a.m. with tear soaked eyes as she holds her newborn baby (who has refused to be set down once since birth), scouring the web for REAL answers to her questions. No the being-a-mom-is-such-a-blessing crap.
That desperate, guilt ridden mama didn’t want encouragement or some pretty article. She needed the truth. Raw. Real. Sometimes daunting. From someone who army crawled through the dark tunnel and made it out to the other side.
This blog is for her.
Take advantage of my manic research and daily stress
You’re gonna have a million questions along the way. I’ve already lived it. I’ve googled it and read the blogs and AI responses. Yeah, the pretty Instagram moment are nice and all . . . but there is A LOT more to being a mom.
With me you’ll get the real deal answers. No cookie cutter molds. No sugar-coating. I’ll let you in on my tried-and-tested successes and failures. You’ll find tips, laughs, and the occasional rant because . . .
. . . motherhood is more than sh– and giggles.
