I'm a mom. Yep. When I'm alone. When I'm with my kids. When I'm at home. When I'm in public. I'm a mom. I feel it in the depths of my being. It's in every creak of my bones. It's the undertone of every thought I have and word I speak. My kids are the foreground of my life and the background on my phone. They are absolutely everything to me. I'm a mom.
More and more I'm realizing that if there's something in the uncertain waters I know is worth diving in for, I've just got to hold my breath and take the plunge.
Sometimes (okay - most times….okay - all the times) it can feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day to get done all of the things that need doing. When you have to choose between work, school, extracurriculars, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and everything else that gets thrown into the mix, sometimes you’ve just [...]
The Kokoro scrunchies check all the box for what a scrunchie should strive to be. They're big enough to hold even the most giant of mom-buns. They have lots of stretch and awesome hold.

Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos were staples of my childhood, but that's not why I'm writing about Bob Saget.

More than once, my 4 year old has screamed as he heads to time out that I have ruined his fun or his day or his life. I've gotta admit, it stings just a little, but when I started to reflect, I realized he's at least partially right. Sometimes I do ruin his fun. And that probably does ruin his day.

You love your kids. I know you do. And I love mine. But sometimes, you just need a minute.

Now, before you prepare my trophy for “Worst Mommy Of All Time”, hear me out. I’m not saying your children suck. I’m saying playing with them sucks. I’m also not saying that spending time with your children sucks. I don't mean playing at the park or going for a picnic. I'm talking quarantine-type games. And colouring. And building stuff.
