So it has been a long time since I have sat down and wrote a post for this blog, but in my defense I have had a lot going on. Holden is now three years old and Hazel is one. Needless to say time to just sit and write is scarce. Usually when I get down time after the kids are asleep I will pour a glass of wine and catch up on some TV shows that I have recorded. If Nathan has the TV on lockdown with football or golf I will usually check out my favorite mommy blogs. I sit in my pjs and scroll through the fun filled days of these stylish, super-fit, always smiling moms with their uber-chic kids at the park. I think to myself....How in the world do they do it? Their life looks so perfet and effortless. There is never a post about temper tantrums or sleepless nights. So I decided that in honor of all the moms, like me, that take 27 pictures just to get one decent one to instagram; the ones that spend 6 minutes getting themselves ready in the morning just to get pooped on as soon as they get out the door; and the ones that pray not to be "that lady" with "those kids" at the grocery store, I will gladly share my experiences with you. I have to say that my children are wonderful & I would take any crappy day with them over a fabulous day with anyone else. I cherish the crazy moments, the sleepless nights & wouldn't trade a minute of my life with them.
So instead of picture perfect outings, and reality tv stylings, I would like to share what real motherhood is all about. The everyday. Reality.
This is the start of getting to know me, and how I handle meltdowns & all the madness in between.
Miracle of the day... Both kids napping at the same time.
I ended today with a gob of sticky in my hair.... Thank you halloween candy. Please get out of my house. I have already eaten all the snickers so I don't need you anymore.
