I am a perpetual apologizer. I apologize for everything. I’m sorry I’m leaving work early. I’m sorry that you bumped into me. I’m sorry for asking so many questions. I’m sorry I’m tired. I’m sorry I’m having a bad hair day. I’m sorry you’re in a bad mood. I’m sorry I’m not feeling well. I’m…
You guys. Here I go, I’m going to be terminated from every Facebook Mom Group after this post. Maybe some of my Facebook friends will drop me after this too. If you’re a mom, chances are you belong to some sort of Support Group on Facebook (Moms of Newborns, Toddler Moms, Breastfeeding Moms, etc). Do…
As I sat in the living room, listening to my girls fight over a Mother’s Day gift they were working on in the next room over, I couldn’t help but feel like it was all for nothing. Here I was, not spending time with my children just so they could make sure I had a…
10 years ago I hosted a spaghetti wrestling ‘event’ for my 21st birthday. Yeah, I was that girl… Anyway, as I’ve mentioned before, Facebook has a fun little way of showing you your memories. Facebook has been showing me the photos from that memorable night. Do you know what I see when I look at…
You know, looking back, I never really saw myself having children. Perhaps it was because I was always told by doctors that I would never be able to have children or maybe it was because I was frightened of bringing a kid into this crazy world we live in. And the times I did think…
Natalie has always been super curious about my blog. She frequently asks me to read them to her and is always curious as to what I’m working on. So when I approached her about writing a “guest blog” she was beside herself. She kept asking me what she should write about but I refused to…
We are only a week into the “Treacherous Threes,” as my 10 year old step-daughter calls it, but I am already feeling the shift from what I thought was the “Worst it can get 2’s” to “It will get worse 3’s.” Talk about walking on eggshells, I can’t do anything without totally ticking Arabella off…
You can’t. I know what you’re thinking…what a buzzkill. Why would I drag you to my blog just to tell you that you actually won’t ever have your shit together? There is some good news, here, so I encourage you to read on. I recently had someone say to me, “Your life seems so perfect…
How many of you headed into parenting with blinders on? I did. Moms/Dads how many of you played ‘house’ when you were little? I’m not sure about you, but my babies were sooo easy to take care of when I was young. And those ‘egg babies’ we had in middle school? Pfffft, what kind of…
Throughout our entire pregnancy (and probably even before) I said there was no way I would put our child in daycare. I couldn’t imagine leaving my child with someone who wasn’t blood related…or, at the very least, a close friend. I put off looking at daycares, while I was pregnant. I kept telling myself I…
