We’ve all felt it—that heavy, nagging feeling that creeps in when we take a moment for ourselves. Mom guilt. It’s like an unwanted guest that whispers, “You should be spending this time with your kids,” or “A good mom wouldn’t need a break.” Sound familiar? But what if we could flip the script? What if […]

I used to pride myself on my ability to juggle multiple tasks. Pre-kids, my colleagues would marvel at how I managed complex projects, working overtime, while maintaining an active social life and a pristine home. I thought I had it all figured out. Then my first child arrived, and my carefully constructed world of efficient […]

Let’s be honest – organizing your day with young children is like trying to herd cats while juggling flaming torches. Some days you’re crushing it, and others you’re just trying to keep everyone alive and fed.

My phone kept buzzing with messages from family members asking when they […]

You’re balancing a toddler on your hip while your kindergartener declares they’ve forgotten how to put on their own shoes (again). The idea of ‘self-care’ feels about as achievable as a full night’s sleep. But what if I told you that caring for yourself doesn’t have to mean escaping from your littles? Let me tell […]

My feed explodes with “New Year, New You!” posts. You know the ones—those perfectly curated photos of color-coded planners, morning routine checklists, and influencers promising total life transformation by February. I remember feeling that pressure last year. Truth was, I already was a new me, I was entering year 3 of being a mom and […]

I still remember that morning when everything changed. Standing in my bedroom, my husband had come in to let me know that he was headed out to Home Depot. I stared at him for a while and with hormones and emotions swirling inside me, I opened my mouth and screamed at him “I f#@king hate […]
