10 Resolutions Every Mom Should Make (They’re Not What You Might Think)
So it is January 1st and all across the world people are starting fresh. We have rest our hopes, our aspirations, our plans, and made new resolutions. It is the one time of year when we all say, “Anything is possible. What do I want to change?” As a momma, however,...
Momma, You’re Doing Better Than You Think
I stood there in the middle of the elementary school crying. As she told me about what had happened on the playground, I just couldn’t help it. I couldn’t keep back the tears. I had dropped Kolton off at school this morning just like every other morning (except this...
I’ll Eat Every Meal Cold if It Means You’re With Me
I eat most of my meals cold – if I get to eat at all. I don’t prefer cold food. I actually really like eating hot food – especially when I have spent a lot of my own time cooking it. But usually, I am too busy cutting food into toddler sized bites, or blowing on food...
A Different Sort of Stretch Mark
I put this stinky cream on my belly twice a day while I was pregnant with my son in an attempt to avoid stretch marks. I read that certain foods helped with skin elasticity and that there were vitamins I could take to help my skin heal as well. But if the lotions and...
Why I Let Her Dress Like That in Public
Getting my daughter dressed for school is one of my least favorite parts of my morning routine. Well, that is until today. Today, I decided to do things a little differently. I guess if we want to be technical, I actually made this decision late last night after my...
To the Momma of the Anxious Child
Okay, we’ve done this every morning for the last nine weeks. It’s the same classroom, the same teachers, the same kids. We know how the morning will go, and that mommy comes to pick you up after you play outside and you eat your snack. It’s the same every single day....
An Open Letter to Carrie Underwood (and Every Other Mom) Concerning Mom-Guilt:
Today, I was scrolling through Facebook while my kids played quietly with toys. For the record, I give my kids 100% of my attention. I do not ignore them, but when they are entertaining themselves, I will take my own mental health break and scroll mindlessly for a few...
I Had a Miscarriage
It was a simple picture posted to social media. A man sitting behind his wife with his arms wrapped around her… hands gently resting on the sides of her tummy. She wore the world’s brightest smile and a shirt that read, “Momma-To-Be.” It was how they would announce…...
For the Momma of the Strong-Willed Child
It takes a special kind of momma to raise a strong-willed child. It takes a certain endless amount of grace to continually define the lines of what is and isn’t acceptable all while your child ceaselessly pushes back. It’s hard work marking the same boundaries a...
For My Daughter and For Yours
Yesterday, I took a picture with my daughter and posted it to Facebook. In the caption, I wrote: “She thinks you're beautiful momma. You are just her favorite. They say that the relationship between a girl and her momma changes over time. They warn us that one day our...
The Best of Me
Well, the day is over. The kids are in bed, and I’m sitting here knowing that tomorrow pretty much looks just like today. Because while the details might be slightly different, the pattern of endless giving and caring and pouring my heart out won’t change....
“Let Me Hold the Baby” & Other Sexy Things My Husband Says
He came in from a long day of work and took his boots off by the front door. I was standing in the living room trying to fold the clothes with one arm while holding a baby with the other. Our oldest two had abandoned the Disney Junior show that they were watching, and...
