AHH my first blog post! This is going to be amazing and epic and so much fun right? RIGHT?? Nevermind the fact that I began writing this around 5pm but between my husband, my toddler, my infant, and my dog I got distracted and sidetracked NO LESS than 100 times, therefore giving up and resigning myself to the fact that I would have to continue writing at a later time. So here I am, sitting in bed with my snoring husband on one side of me, my two month old swaddled and in her bassinet on the other side, and my two year old across the house asleep. The rational part of me knows I should also be sleeping, but lets be real- if I want to be able to actually write a blog post, my best chances for accomplishing that are while my babies are dreaming. So here I am at midnight, crushing goals.
My plan is to start blogging about everyday mom life. Yes, I will be picking out specific topics to talk about- but I will be talking about them from my honest, real life point of view. Like my bio says, I am not a “Pinterest mom”. Do I have a Pinterest account? Of course I do! Do I pin a ton of creative snack and craft ideas? You bet! Do I ever actually follow through by doing any of the crafts I pin? HAHAHA….nope. And as far as snacks go…well I’m pretty sure there is nothing creative or cute about some yogurt or off brand chips. Sorry kiddos…mama tried.
You see, I personally am more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants type mom. My house is never spotless (although I can’t totally blame that on my children, because it was by no means spotless before I became a mother either), I am honestly not sure the last time my hair was washed, and me being somewhere on time is more of a surprise than an expectation from those who know me well. At the end of the day, although I’m not perfect or even anything close, my children are happy and fed. My husband and I are happy and fed (even if we don’t get to eat until the toddler is asleep because you know, tantrums). Does anything else really, truly matter? Probably. But for the sake of my sanity I’m going to pretend it doesn’t.
So heres to all the hot messes out there. Thank you for checking out my site and I hope you come back often for advice, tips, tricks, and general musings about the real, unfiltered life of a mom. Until then…may your coffee be strong, your scented candles lit, and your wine glass never empty. May you realize you are not alone in this crazy but awesome stage of life, and may you always rule your roost!
