If I have learnt anything over the past couple of years of being a parent, it's that there are two huge topics to steer clear of both in conversation and over social media: Breast Feeding and Sleep Training. How many times have you stumbled upon a post and just scrolled through the hundreds of comments… Continue reading Sleep Training//Yeah, I’m going there…

Confession//I hated being pregnant
After trying to get pregnant for nearly 3 years, in January 2015, I both accepted the fact that it would most likely not happen and got that big fat positive all in the same week. My husband and I relished in the moment and thanked God for such a blessing. And then it happened.....and once… Continue reading Confession//I hated being pregnant
Picture Perfect//Our so-called-lives, according to Social Media
When my husband and I announced that we were pregnant for the second time, it's almost as if people felt the need to reassure me of certain things, without having ever asked for reassurance in the first place. If your first didn't sleep don't worry, your second one will. If you were able to breastfeed… Continue reading Picture Perfect//Our so-called-lives, according to Social Media
Clean Eating//Here’s to you, judgy park moms

So out we went to the park before it started… Continue reading Clean Eating//Here’s to you, judgy park moms

One being because lets face it, life with kids has us bitting our tongues (or not) constantly with all the… Continue reading F*CK//It finally happened…
Self Preservation//Moms day off
How often do you find yourself burning the candle at both ends? I often have moments of "holy shit, when's the last time I actually showered??" With two so close in age I am constantly struggling to find balance. Kids activities, lunches, whats for dinner, groceries, baths, nap times, sleep training, laundry, keeping the house… Continue reading Self Preservation//Moms day off
Sundays//Rant
The day started at 4:30am (again) with A screaming his face off because, well, just because. He had been up 3 other times during the night. Obviously one wakes up the other, and it was only a matter of time before O was wide awake and kicking away in her crib, impatiently waiting for someone… Continue reading Sundays//Rant
Introduction//First posts are the hardest
I've been playing around with the idea of starting this blog for the longest time. Where to begin? What am I even doing here?? Who knows - but I need this, and I'm fairly certain others need it to. So let me start by introducing myself. I'm Melissa - 33 years old, wife, daughter, sister… Continue reading Introduction//First posts are the hardest
