Welcome to A Hilarious Journey to a Happier, Emotionally Healthier Family and Self
Hey there, fellow moms! I’m Laura-mom to 3 permanent kids, currently 2 foster kids, a wife, social worker, reader, coffee drinker, avid avoider of the outdoors but do like camping (doesn’t make sense to me ether), and most important-me.
Welcome to our wild and wacky world of navigating this thing we call mom-ing. Where the laundry is endless, the tantrums are aplenty (kids and mine), and the coffee is our lifeline. I’m your new partner in crime, the mom who’s not afraid to laugh in the face of chaos. I’m here to spill the beans on all things parenting. Mostly, I am trying to raise tiny humans to adults who can handle emotions, have solid attachments, are kind, and care about the world around them.
So, who am I? Just your average mom-next-door, armed with a quick wit, a healthy dose of sarcasm, and a penchant for turning everyday chaos into comedic gold. Life in the trenches of motherhood has taught me that surviving with a smile is not only possible but absolutely necessary. Also, to survive motherhood, you need other moms who just get you. Those moms who don’t ask to many questions and who are ready to aide when needed.
Am I Crazy? Maybe!
Now, you might be wondering why I decided to dive headfirst into the blogosphere. Well, grab a cup of coffee (or wine, depending on the time of day – no judgment here!), and let me tell you the tale. As I navigate the tumultuous waters of parenting, I’ve come to realize that we’re all in this together. What better way to weather the storm than with humor, a dash of sarcasm, and a whole lot of support?
My mission here is simple: to help all of us fabulous moms achieve an emotionally healthier and happier family life while maintaining our sanity (or at least trying to). My goal in this blog is to share as I go; one change at a time is all it takes. Are you currently working on a change? Maybe it is to yell less, or spend more time with the kids. Maybe it is to parent better than you were parented or just differently than you were parented.
Through the ups and downs, the spills and thrills, I’ll be sharing my own triumphs and failures – because let’s face it, parenting is a constant rollercoaster, and sometimes you just have to throw your hands in the air and enjoy the ride. And we learn best from each other, so lets go!
Slow Down, Join Us, and Breathe
But fear not! This blog isn’t about doling out impossible-to-follow advice or setting unrealistic expectations. Instead, it’s a candid account of my journey, one small change at a time. From mastering the art of hiding veggies in the spaghetti to discovering the magical powers of a well-timed dad joke, we’ll explore the simple tweaks that can transform chaos into comedy and stress into serenity.
So, buckle up, my fellow moms! Join me as I embark on this adventure, armed with laughter, sarcasm, and a commitment to proving that a more emotionally stable (its all relative to who we were the day before), healthier family is within reach for all of us. Because let’s be real – if we can’t laugh at the mess, we might just cry. And I choose laughter, every time. Well, sometimes I cry and laugh but hey!-that’s life!
Stick around, and let’s navigate this mom life together. It’s bound to be a hilarious ride! Join us in the mom community FACEBOOK GROUP to share stories, ask questions, and help each other learn.
