Mom Treading Water (The Imperfect Mom)
As imperfect moms, we sometimes try to keep our heads above water. We are the ultimate “Mom Treading Water.” Whether you are a SAHM (stay-at-home mom), a mom who works out of the home, or somewhere in between, we all have challenges, benefits, and experiences. However, what we do share in common is that we are all imperfect moms. As an imperfect mom, wife, and human, I am exposing myself, intending to normalize the sisterhood of imperfect moms. None of us are perfect, no matter what image someone attempts to portray. Mom Treading Water encourages being kind to yourself while discovering your imperfections with compassion. As we learn about ourselves, we become better moms and humans. Thank you for joining me on this imperfect journey. Be kind to yourself. Be kind to others.

Mommy Shaming (Why the Mommy Shamers Don’t Matter)
Our family had a much-needed vacation, and I am happy to say it was close to perfect. Even the mommy shamer could not spoil our great time.
If this were 2 years ago or even last year, the mommy shamer stating my child was having a “hissy fit” would have consumed my thoughts and overall experience.
Although, I do regret trying to justify my child’s “hissy fit” to the mommy shamer. No matter what, she was going to continue her ignorant judgment.
All she witnessed was a child not acting “perfect” or “being seen and not heard.”
Finally, I realized it is not my responsibility to take the time and energy to educate someone insignificant in our lives. My responsibility lies with my family and those who are in our lives.
As parents, we cannot control the mommy shamers, but we can control our response, or lack thereof, toward the mommy shammer.
