Most of us grow up envisioning the “perfect” family that we will have one day. One boy, one girl – 3 years apart. Right?

While this final stage might take years to get to, you will finally come to a place where you realize that strong truly is the new sexy and you did something that took all the strength that you have inside you to bring your child into this world. This is not something to take lightly, this is heroic.

So you have made it all the way up to the end of the finish line? Congratulations!

Oh yes — you read correctly.

These are the things I anticipate most when my kids finally go the eff to sleep. I deserve it after a day of being in what feels like survival mode.

The Back to School season is just around the corner, and for many, it has already begun. For moms, this time of year tends to bring on a huge mix of emotions, whether you are sending older kiddos back again or sending little ones for their first day ever.

There is nothing in the world that quite compares to the joyous feeling of bringing a new baby home.

10. 15 minutes alone in the grocery store has become your equivalent to a therapy session.

I remember very vividly those first days of feeding my son solids.

There’s so much going on with a postpartum mom, so much more than meets the eye, and we need to be aware of that. Stop talking about her body!
