Hey, Mom? I Just Wanted to Say…
Hey, mom? I’ve been meaning to tell you. I just haven’t had the words… I appreciate what you’re doing. The early mornings and the long nights are hard. I’m trying to figure it all out. I know that you are too. We’re both new at all of this. But I want you to know that...
Oh, Darlin’, It Doesn’t Have to Be So Hard
“I don’t know what the difference is… or what changed… but you moms seem to have so much more pressure on yourselves than we ever did.” It was such a short conversation, but I have been thinking about it for weeks. What has changed between her generation and mine?...
What My 4 Year Old Wants You to Know About Yelling
I’m guilty. I’m sure you are too. The paint ends up on the wall after the 30th, “Don’t do it!” The baby gets hit with a flying toy after you specifically said, “Don’t throw it!” The toddler isn’t listening. The preschooler isn’t listening. The teenager isn’t...

To the Momma in the Dressing Room a Few Doors Down:
To the Momma in the dressing room a few doors down: I was already in my own room when you and your daughter came down the hall. I never ran into you after I finished trying on my own clothes. I will never know what you look like. But I have to tell you, I cannot...

Kids, Meet Becky
Hi. I'm Becky, and before I had kids, I was… Well, I will just be honest. I was kind of awesome. We would have been friends. I was funny. Like – “Man, she’s funny!” funny. Maybe I wasn’t that funny – but at least I had time to laugh. I was very outgoing. There really...
How to Leave the House With a Toddler in 100 Easy Steps
I read an article a few days ago called, “How to Put a Toddler to Bed in 100 Easy Steps.” I laughed so hard that I cried. It got me thinking about all of the other things that were so simple to accomplish before I had two littles (plus another coming in September.)...
I Wave My White Flag: It is Time for a Cease-Fire
That’s it. I’m calling it. It is time to step over the imaginary lines that divide us. It is time to tear down the walls and the alliances and the us-vs-them banners that declare our loyalties. This is my white flag, and I’m calling for an end to all mommy-wars. When...
