1. MOM’S BRUTALLY HONEST POST REMINDS US BREASTFEEDING ISN’T ALWAYS EASY
Sneak Peek:
As moms, we hear a lot about how beautiful and natural breastfeeding is. What we don’t hear nearly often enough is how hard it can be.

2. YOU KNOW YOU ARE A MOM WHEN
Sneak Peek:
Instead of talking to adults, you spell to them. You think waking up at 7:00 is sleeping in. You have more crayons in your purse than money. Picking up another human and smelling their bottom doesn’t seem abnormal.

4. HOW TO LOVE BEING A MOM
Sneak Peek:
Before my husband and I got married, I really wasn’t a kid person. I was focused on my corporate consulting career and I wasn’t even sure if having kids was for me. Now, as a stay-at-home mom of two daughters, ages 6 and 3, I have truly learned how to love being a mom.

5. MOVING PAST SURVIVAL MODE
Sneak Peek:
The months after I came home from the hospital with my second son were spent in survival mode. My days were filled with learning how to balance two very different children. Exhaustion overwhelmed my soul and I felt like a failure as a mom. Throughout my entire pregnancy with my second child, I had envisioned the days ahead spent playing Thomas the Train together and running around outside. What I didn’t envision was a baby who did not sleep well, potty training being such a struggle, and so many other things.

6. TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, NO-GOOD, VERY BAD, PARENTS WHO WON’T ALLOW SLEEPOVERS
Sneak Peek:
Last week, I saw my little boy’s life flash before my eyes and it shook me to the core. We were coming back from the pool and I had stopped to talk to a neighbor. He was on his little bike, waiting patiently for me 30 feet ahead at the corner. A three-year-old’s patience only extends so far, and everything that happened next, happened in an instant. I was too far away to stop it. I saw the truck speeding, I saw my little boy, inching forward, pedals in motion.

8. IF SCHOOL DOESN’T END SOON I MIGHT DIE
Sneak Peek:
It’s May, ya â„¢ll and I am so done. I want to be done with homework, done with parties, and most of all, I want to be done with Field Trips. I just bought enough Lunchables to make it from now until I go to the grocery store again, because if I have to come up with one more nutritious but still delicious lunch, I might die.

9. Â SENSORY PROCESSING LOOKS DIFFERENT
Sneak Peek:
Sensory processing is a term becoming more and more familiar to parents. However, there are still a number of misconceptions, and sensory processing might look different than you expect. There are often sure fire ways to know your child has sensory issues. However, there are also some behaviors that get overlooked.

10. LET THEM BE LITTLE
Sneak Peek:
It’s starting to happen more often, now. A judgment made that she’s too old to be in diapers. The expectation that she has any concept of age or enough motor control to hold up two specific fingers on command from a stranger. I had an uncle who had to bring his birth certificate to every youth football game he played in and even then, he was eventually asked to leave the league. His brother was shamed while trick-or-treating at age twelve when he towered over his peers.
