Some people may think I’m crazy. Probably am. But the truth is, I actually love my kids being super close in age. Sure it was a shock when I got pregnant 10 months postpartum, and for the second time. I was also breastfeeding full time so I thought that was enough birth control. False. Nope. […]

You post a picture of your gourmet dinner and all three children eating, no fits, no meltdowns, no tears, no fights. You post a picture of your baby sleeping peacefully in the crib. But what you don’t show what your face looks like. I bet exhaustion. Real, deep wrinkles, maybe a tear or two, and […]

Military Wife. You’re a hero. Often unrecognized. Actually, unrecognized far too often. Your recognition, ability to do anything and everything is never appreciated enough. I know many of us can truly say that we wish we didn’t have to do dinner alone every night, or wrangle slippery kids in the bath and struggle solo with […]

Is anyone else feeling life has them in the funk lately? I can’t seem to find enough time lately to get everything done. I’m either wrangling kids around or keeping kiddos quiet and occupied while hubby sleeps (third shift life y’all sucks). I feel in a funk right now. Anyone else out there relate to […]

  Let’s be honest. Bedtime can be uber stressful. Amen? I mean, maybe you’re supermom and your kid goes to bed all by himself and doesn’t make a peep for 12 hours. Ya, no. Maybe you’re more like me and you have to cuddle kid #1 for x amount of time. You think kid #1 […]

We’re moms. Time is a precious jewel for all of us. Time is beautiful. And not enough time often leaves us as frustrated, overwhelmed, groggy, and unhappy mamas. Can I get an amen? How many of you actually get a shower in daily all by yourself? It’s not a big deal to anyone else but […]

It sure feels like my husband is married to his job. He spends more time at work in a single day than here at home throughout the week (i.e. waking hours). I mommy alone, 24/7. To say I am exhausted, frustrated, stretched thin, and overwhelmed are complete understatements. And to be completely honest, I hate […]

Do you ever hit your pillow at the end of every day and you ask yourself: “But did I love you enough?” Because you know how easy it is when it’s 3PM and your toddler refuses to nap and instead throws everything out of his crib and screams for 45 minutes straight until you give […]

My kids. I have two of them and yes, they are super close in age. Planned? I mean, what can I say. If you’re married, there ain’t such a thing as a mistake pregnancy. Just sayin’. So what, I have two kids back to back and I love it. Yeah somedays are what-the-heck-were-you-thinking kind of […]

  To my husband. Our days are long. We start four hours before the sun gets up and we end four hours after the sun goes down. We run 100mph all day long and have nothing left to give each other by the end of the day. In fact, we crash on the sofa once […]
