Ho-Ho-Holy Shit It’s The Holidays 🎅🏽
Ah yes. The Holiday Season is upon us. The Christmas tree is decorated, the lights are up, and the house smells like a forest of pine trees and sugar cookies. All the holiday feels have been in full force, but has made me realize the season that I once loved for its carefree cheer and…

The Real MVPs
There were a few things I debated writing about. I had everything all typed up and ready to go but honestly after the week we have had with busy and demanding work schedules and Cora being sick— I wanted to change it up a little bit. I feel like this sort of thing isn’t talked…

What “self-love” looks like … for a Mom
Let me just start off by clarifying — I listened to a podcast once that differentiated the words self-care & self-love. Both seem so similar & most would say they’re the same thing. Somehow, someone somewhere decided that self-care should cost money, or rather be something that’s grand & really out of the norm. When…

The Holy Shituation
Let’s talk shit. Literally. Of all the things I knew I would obsess over I never thought one of the top contestants would be poop. I was the avid color, amount, and consistency checker because I was told that since my baby couldn’t tell me when she wasn’t feeling good or when something was wrong…

Always On
Last week was a long week. A hard week. I had topics I could have wrote about, but there was just no motivation… hence this post a week late. This is a feeling any Mom can relate to. This is a feeling that I didn’t fully understand until I was a Mom. The feeling of…

The Worrisaurus Wreck: A Memoir of Shit I Used to Stress About
NOT MEETING MILESTONES I don’t know why this was such a big one for me. I wasn’t necessarily worried about a developmental delay or a diagnosis but I wanted to be one top of it and look into any early interventions needed. I can guarantee you I looked up every timeline and every “watch for…

ᴛᴏ ʙᴜʏ ᴏʀ ɴᴏᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴜʏ
I had a friend recently tell me that after several years of her & her significant other trying to get pregnant, she saw her first positive pregnancy test. Things are still so early though & so as excited as she is, the very thought of having to wait two more weeks for an ultrasound is…
