It’s all too much

How are you doing mamas? I am not well and I will admit it. As most of you know, I consider this my safe place to vent- a platform for mamas to share the good things, the bad things, and everything in between. We are living in an unprecedented time, a time where we have…

Can you just stay at daycare?

This one is hard for me to write. I had to write it now because a few months from now it will sting too much. We are in the last few months of daycare and most of her friends are already gone. They all started together about 4 years ago. Juliana started there at 9…

“I can’t stay a baby, Mama”

I got to play with my kids tonight. I got to spend real time- no husband, no screen time, no running, no multitasking, no phones- yes I took pictures and videos obviously because it's me. I wanted to cry the whole time, not because I was sad but because I was so damn happy and…

Mom Win

Let me just start off by saying that I have gotten some backlash for some of my recent posts, specifically Mama Meltdown. I am not looking for attention, or for someone to call DCF on me, and I'm not trying to make my family look bad. I write these blogs for me, but also to raise…

Nursing Snacks

Breastfeeding is hardddddd, especially in the beginning. It's funny because now my son (second babe) is 15 months old and he won't get off the boob! Here is a list of snacks that helped me get through the early stages of breastfeeding and help my supply go up! Also, the hunger is the real deal.…
