To all the moms out there with a list a mile long who feel absolutely defeated when nothing gets checked off… I see you. I’ve been you. I AM you. Probably right now. Every morning I try. I really do. I make a plan in my head (or on paper, or on my phone… because apparently one list isn’t enough). TO DO: Fold the laundry that’s been living in bins in the kitchen for two days. Clean the bathrooms. Vacuum. Wash the floors. You know—the usual “I will absolutely not finish this” l

As we head into the last day of school before Christmas break, I’m reminding myself to breathe. To slow down. To let things go. This season is beautiful, but it’s also loud, messy, overstimulating, and exhausting—especially as a mom. I find it hard some days to keep my girls entertained while I’m tending to Cyrus and juggling the never-ending list of things that need to be done.

Let’s start with my firstborn, Miss Lenoxx. She slept like an absolute champ. Honestly, she spoiled me. She didn’t need the constant access to food (aka the boobs) and she didn’t need the constant cuddles. This actually explains a lot now — she’s my little Miss Independent Sassy Pants. Of course, there wer

I used to hate  mornings. The grogginess, the puffy eyes, and worst of all…leaving the comfort of my nice, warm bed. I love sleep—let’s...

Last night was one of those  nights. The kind of night that tests every ounce of patience you thought you had left. Cyrus was...

“That’s my toy!” “Give it back!” “I don’t want you for a sister anymore!” Those are just a few of the daily catchphrases I hear from my...

Motherhood is messy, loud, exhausting, and beautiful—what it doesn’t need is shame. In my latest post, I get raw and real about mom shaming, keyboard warriors, and why kindness matters. Every mom is doing her best, even if that means surviving on caffeine, chaos, and chocolate in the pantry. Let’s stop the judgment and start supporting one another.
