Outnumbered Mamas
When I saw the post about needing bloggers for Outnumbered Mama’s, I thought to myself, I would love to blog about my life, my family and have somewhere to vent. So I contacted them and agreed to participate. I have wrote two blogs so far and they came easy. Then life became chaotic and I […]

It was 4am.On my dining table in front of me were a breast pump, a bowl of ice cream and a six-year-old’s scattered toys that were staring me down. “Why didn’t you put us up?” asked the messy-haired doll. “I’m fattening, you know,” said the high-calorie dessert. “You need to pump more,” insisted the pump.

How often do you sit back after a long, hard week filled with mom duties, work responsibilities and family upkeep and say, “Girl, you killed it! You made those dinners like a pro. You got yourself and the kids up and out every day without a hitch! You dealt with a sick baby, a grumpy […]
Am I the only one who despises mornings? No? Good, glad I’m not alone! Mornings with kids just makes it even more hectic and difficult. You’re trying to change a diaper and one kid’s like, “Hey mommy, Go Fish.” Really?!?! I have to have some kind of order in the mornings or I won’t survive. […]
Let’s be honest, Mamas, we love to share all the amazing aspects of our families, careers, life events and days that we actually took the time to shower. What we don’t love to share and be vulnerable with are all the not so pretty days and events, at least this is true for me. What […]
First and foremost, congratulations on your little bundle of joy. Secondly welcome to the most wonderful, most rewarding, most beautiful part of life. It’s one that will change the way you look at things, the way you react to things and definitely one you’ll always hold dear. If you’re happy, scared, nervous it’s very normal! […]
