I need to vent. I need to mom-vent. Is that a thing? A phrase people use? If they don’t, they totally should. Here’s the basic jist if what I consider a mom-vent: The people you love most are bound to drive you bat shit crazy sometimes. Airing that laundry just feels better.

Things No One Told Me About Having Babies
You know what I hate about being pregnant? Everything. I feel like as women, sometimes we are led to believe that all pregnancies and deliveries are this amazing, magical experience, on par with how we expect our wedding days to be.

Why Did I Get Pregnant?
Yep. I’m pregnant. In years to come, our new addition and I will be referred to as a stastic I can only assume will be dubbed “pandemic births” or something equally boring yet scary.

A Day In The Life Of A Pandemic Mom
8:00 am – I very reluctantly roll out of bed. I don’t need to brush my hair or do makeup because I already know I won’t be leaving the house today.

Aside from crippling allergies every morning until the meds kick in – this place has been a very welcome change. Our lives always feel so rushed. Even with…… Continue reading Slowing Down
Aunt Sharon
Aunt Sharon was my husband’s aunt on his mother’s side. But for as long as I have known her (about 12 years), she has been my aunt too. She passed away suddenly this weekend, with no explanation. One minute she was OK. The next, she wasn’t. I know that it sounds cliche to say that…… Continue reading Aunt Sharon
