Be Extra, But Only in What Brings You Joy This Holiday Season

12 / 1 / 2212 / 1 / 22

The day has finally come. I got elf shamed. I have been avoiding Elf on a Shelf, not because I have particular ill will toward Sprinkle/Sparkle/etc but because I’m kind of a hot mess who tends to fall asleep listening to her murder mystery audiobook and I know I’ll forget to move he/she (them? are… Read More

To the Mama Having a Rough Week

10 / 19 / 19

Dear Sweet Mama, Are you having one of those weeks? I sure am. Maybe you handed the cashier a tampon instead of your debit card. Or just forgot your wallet entirely. Your garage door snapped off its hinges. Maybe you snapped off your hinges. Maybe your toddler lost it in a public place and you… Read More

To The Working Mom, From A SAHM

5 / 22 / 195 / 22 / 19

Dear Working Mom, I have never been in your shoes. I can pretend to know what it is like to get up Monday through Friday or whatever your hours may be, but I do not. I left my job as a nurse when I was 30 weeks pregnant with my first child. It was a… Read More

Ultimate Checklist for An Overnight Babysitter

4 / 16 / 194 / 16 / 19

Background and personality wise I am a bit of a natural worrier when it comes to letting anyone watch my babies. Emotional scars run deep after years of seeing tragedies happen at the hands of care providers in the pediatric ICU. I tend to over think every scenario that could potentially go wrong when my… Read More

Tips to Calm Yourself When You Are About to Loose Your Mom Mind

3 / 20 / 193 / 20 / 19

Let me start of by saying that I am not writing this post from a place of mastery. I am not an expert on peaceful parenting.

Today I Did Nothing Important. Yet, Also, Everything That Matters

2 / 22 / 195 / 3 / 19

This past week, I was admittedly really looking forward to Tuesday. I had a full day’s worth of errands to run, chores to do, stuff to check off my list. The weekend was filled with runny noses and cold weather, the stuff winters with little kids always bring. And, also my least favorite shift of… Read More

Mama, You NEED a Galentine’s Day

2 / 13 / 192 / 13 / 19

Dear Middle of the Night Mama, I see you trudging back to the toddler’s room, assuring him there are no monsters for the 5th time tonight. I see you pour another cup of milk. I see you praying that tomorrow will be a better day. That you will be more patient. I see you rocking… Read More
