How My Difficult Child Put Me Through Hell And Then Changed My Life For The Better
This morning I sobbed uncontrollably when a Facebook memory popped up of my son’s birth announcement. He’s four years old today and the last year has been one of the hardest years of my life. I look at that first picture we ever took of him, and I wish so badly that things wouldn’t have…
Some Thoughts For The Anxious Mama: What If Everything Turns Out Better Than You Could Possibly Imagine?
My younger son takes so much of my effort and energy that I frequently worry about accidentally neglecting my older son. This was a big fear of mine going into the summer because we’re doing a lot of new therapies for my younger son and I felt bad that my oldest son is going to…
Putting Yourself First As A Mom: The Most Selfless Thing You Can Do
Self care. Putting yourself first. Making yourself a priority. Yada yada yada. It seems like we hear it all day every day, yet how many of us actually do it? I know I don’t. I try to, for some things, and for some things I am making myself a priority. But when it comes to…
Newsflash: You Can Complain About Your Kids And Still Live A Happy Life
Someone commented on my Instagram post the other day asking if I was ever happy. I don’t usually focus on those types of comments because 1) they usually say more about the person commenting than about me 2) I don’t really care what other people think of me and 3) Often times comments like that…

The Empowerment of Motherhood
I did something yesterday that I’ve never done before. I got into a yelling match in the public library parking lot with a complete stranger. To be fair, he yelled at me first. If you read my Instagram post from a few days ago, you know that my 3 yo has some impulsivity issues when…
You Are Exactly What Your Child Needs
Today was rough. It didn’t start out that way, it was actually a really good day. Then on the way home from the park my 3 yo ran into the street. He *technically* stopped first for like a millisecond and *technically* looked both ways as he was running toward the street and there were THANKFULLY…
A Letter To Myself: Miscarriage and Loss
Dear 6 years ago Me, You feel so sad. You are still emotionally recovering from your 3rd early miscarriage. And it was awful because you and your husband were visiting friends and their 4 month old baby out of town when you started bleeding. Starting a family was the only thing you wanted and you…
