Every mom needs a community…find yours here.

Take a MOMent, Mama!

“Take a MOMent, Mama. Take a deep breath. And let’s dive in.”

— Kirsten, Founder of the MOMent

Dear children,

My fuse seems much shorter. My yell seems much more shrill. I’m taken to my breaking point, and then find that I don’t actually have the luxury of breaking.

In this MOMent, I am scared. In this MOMent, I have never been m

The MOMent I Finally Knew The Terrible Twos
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Oh to understand the inner workings of a two year old brain! I have before me a child who is still so young and innocent in many ways. And yet, I can see that he’s now itching to grow, to le

Today I needed to remind myself that there can be bad MOMents in a day, but that doesn’t mean we have to chalk it up as a Bad Day.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thought maybe someone else out there might need that same reminder. 🖤✌🏼

If life continues as it ought to, my children will walk this Earth long after I’ve left it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Initially, that’s not a very pleasant thought. It’s actually pretty abrasive. No one likes to imagine death, or life beyond their

I haven’t really felt inspired to write posts lately. I’ve been having trouble putting all of my thoughts into sentences.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But where I’ve temporarily lost my desire to use many words, I’ve found a deep desire to make

I’ve been feeling this DEEP the past weeks.

Not being around other people. Making the decision to remove a number of apps from my phone. Consciously trying to simplify and get back to basics as our entire world seemingly “resets

What a wild 4 months it’s been, Lucy. (That’s me, trying to come up with ANY caption other than “hey all you cool cats and kittens.”)

Finding MOMents of sunshine when we can...well maybe everyone except for Lucy 🤣

Wishing you and your family a good night and a positive start to the week. ☀️

Decided that quarantine was the perfect time to add some chores to Gus’s daily To-Do List....his first attempt at setting the table for breakfast was a huge success! (Never mind the fact that he was adamant that since he set the forks on the ni

Today I’m not going to beat myself up for letting my son watch cartoons and eat snacks all morning.

We MUST allow ourselves to sit with this discomfort.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My one fervent hope for this country, for this world, is not that this time passes quickly. I believe that it will be what it will be. Rather, my hope is that we use this unprecedented ti

This one goes out to all of my friends who think that the words #socialdistancing and #shelterinplace don’t apply to them. 🖤✌🏼

A whole Quarantine Mood

Anyone else wearing prints that they wouldn’t typically mix, and lounging in a food coma after second breakfast......or is that just us? 🤷🏼&zwj;♀️

Just another day in the life, amirite parents?!

The Earth has been whispering to us, begging us, to slow down for quite some time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But we’ve been too distracted to listen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And now the whisper has become something so loud that no one can ignore it. We have no choice but to

A little over a year ago, l was struggling to find my place in motherhood. While I wanted to throw myself fully into being a present, thoughtful parent to my child, I ALSO wanted to feel like I wasn’t losing my place in the “real world.&r

I sit here, hot tears streaming down my face, rocking my infant daughter and listening as my son shouts to me from his bedroom, where he’s supposed to be napping. I try to come to terms with the fact that this will be yet another afternoon wher
