Hosting 5 play dates over a 3 day weekend does not make one feel very refreshed for work tomorrow

The scariest Monday there ever was. After my first mat leave I knew there would be another not far behind, but this is very likely the end of an era

Every season of challenge has an expiration date (still waiting on ours though🏠🤞🏻)

Dear house, please sell, like asap. Amen.

If it’s meant to be, it’ll be; guess we’ll find out in 12 hours🤷🏼‍♀️

Fall 2023, the season of purge & balance

Tonight we could have lost everything, and in the split second of needing to evacuate from a fire, nothing material mattered except for us, our kids and the dog.

People always leave - first my dental hygienist, then my kids pediatrician; who’s next

Entering what feels like it could be the hardest stage of parenting (thus far), toilet training

Just a mom asking her husband 1 million questions about his flight alone with our toddler at 3am; including if she slept, pooped, what she ate and if she washed her hands before bed - mom status achieved

Welcome to the dreaded 4 month sleep regression, just when we thought we had our shit together

Let’s pair a 2 year old sleep regression with a 3 month old who night feeds, thanks universe

Family pictures with an infant (who’s still not sleeping well), toddler (almost 2, enough said), and wild animal (🐶)… no pressure

It’s a balance of not wanting to miss the newborn stage, but being oh so sleep deprived

Can someone please tell my toddler this is not the week for a sleep regression😴

Forgetting it’s Halloween weekend and that adults actually dress up, drink and go out; welcome to life with 2 under 2. Maybe next year.

When you get an emergency call from daycare that your child has shoved a chickpea up her nose; can’t make this shit up

Hour 6 of solo parenting and the dog has eaten a donut and one of P’s wooden toys. Going to be a fun week
