Dude, Where's My Blog?

 Hello...It's Me... I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet?... 

(Sorry I couldn't resist quoting Adele right there.)


Happy New Year! It's 2022, and in the spirit of new beginnings, fresh starts, and whatnot I officially, totally, 100% completely forgot that I had started writing this blog 2. years. ago. 😬... cue the eye rolls, the "what the hell's", the questions, the judging, the laughter... I get it. I deserve it. But, along with all of the shaming that just occurred, cue the deep breaths, the self-love, the acceptance, the understanding, the laughter.  Life is busy, shit disappears... only to be picked back up, and dusted off to begin again. Have any of you busy, over-scheduled, distracted, going in a million-and-one directions Mamas, ever had an experience like this? 

I honestly don't really know what happened, or why I just stopped and dropped off the face of the earth. All I know is that it's 2 years later, and I have an 11-year-old preteen son and an 8.5-year-old (going on 16.)  Rediscovering this blog for me has been like stepping into a time machine, remembering the phase I was in as a Mom two years ago when I started blah blah blahing to myself and reflecting on where I am now in my parenting journey. It amazes me how much easier, and harder it was back then all at the same time.

My hope then, and hope now, are still the same. That I will be able to connect with other like-minded Moms/Dads/caretakers out there who would like to join me on this crazy little parenthood journey to reflect, learn, listen and support with love, compassion, and of course a WHOLE lotta SASS! 

Come to think of it, this blog has been hiding with that one missing shoe since 2019 this whole freaking time!😉

Cheers!🍸

Mommy's Little Helper

Good Morning! This post is about my new best friend in the kitchen..  Our New Blender Before this little wonder came into my life, I never had any time in the morning to eat breakfast myself!  My husband is the greatest and is usually the first one awake, and he handles breakfast for the kids.  I handle damage control, making sure teeth are brushed, clothes are on, backpacks are packed etc....  Which usually leads to me asking 10 times to get teeth brushed, to put clothes on and pack backpack...Oh and yes my favorite morning routine- playing 'hide and go seek' with ONE LOST SHOE...(seriously where does it go)?!  After all is said and done, we are barreling into the car to make it to school on time! Which explains, why I could never make time for myself to sit and have anything to eat! This is where my little helper comes in to the story!#ad  The Ninja Blender    I have been able to start my day with a delicious and healthy smoothie...

The "Cool Parents"

 Today, my 11-year-old came home from school and told me that my husband and I were voted "The cool parents."  I laughed when he said that and asked what that meant, and he said it meant we were the less strict parents of all of his friends and among other reasons,  that we "let him say swear words."  🙊 This might come off as a shock and controversial, but My husband and I both feel, that they are only words and yes, they have the ability to hold tremendous power depending on the context, but our rule is, if you say a swear word in or out of this house, it is NEVER allowed to be said in anger directed towards someone else. EVER. PERIOD.  They also may NEVER EVER swear at or around a teacher, another parent, or adult. EVER.  Those rules are imprinted into our children's brains, and if they break said rules, then yes they will have major consequences.  Nothing drastic of course,  but that kind of behavior is 100% not OK with us.   I don't...

Super Bowl Monday?

Hi!! So before I start I have the need to gloat a little and say GO PATS!  Ok...and done! I know that last night's game wasn't the most eventful super bowl of all time, but being a New England Patriots fan (from New England) I'm pretty happy about the win. Ok- So, it's Monday, the day after Super Bowl Sunday, and I am currently writing this blog, while my 5-year-old daughter is drawing next to me, and my 8-year-old son is playing math games on his laptop.  Yep...I kept my kids home from school today.  Here's the thing,  we were with family watching the game until the end, which ended after 10pm...  Our usual bedtime is to get into bed at 7:30 asleep by 8:30, so the fact that they got to stay up that late was a total treat. When I woke up this morning, I had two options... 1) pull me out of bed and wake up my sleeping kids to get them ready for school, where they most likely will be grumpy, and distracted, and tired all day making their wonderfu...
