This post contains affiliate links. Read full disclaimer here. I have struggled with this thing called being a mom. There’s just SO MUCH information out there on the subject. It’s borderline paralyzing. Except that you can’t be paralyzed when you’re a mom. You have to take action, and often very much in the moment. You kind of have to have a plan, but sometimes getting out of bed and dare I say getting dressed and putting on a splash of makeup (before they all wake up) are just about all ...

This post contains affiliate links. Read full disclaimer here. A few weeks ago I set a date to potty train our 2 and 3 year old girls — and it worked!

My Mom Journey: Part 1
This post contains affiliate links. Read full disclaimer here. Warning: excessively long post. Grab a drink, get cozy, and stay awhile. I have this dream of being this together person. Who is always organized. Always put together. Never judged. Basically perfect. Haha! This sense of wanting to be perfect has been exacerbated by being a mom. Because now I'm not just trying to make myself perfect. I'm trying to make two little wild, out of control minions perfect. Or at least ... Read More about My Mom Journey: Part 1
