Motherhood

Let’s Get Real About Motherhood

When I started this blog, it was mainly to chronicle my experience as a parent, the good, the bad, and the…really bad. There are so many aspects of motherhood that get swept under the rug, and I think that does a disservice to the entire community. My motto is: “Motherhood- let’s talk about this shit!”

So here are some of my favorite posts about the dichotomous aspects of motherhood: the ambivalence, the bittersweet changes, the sleep deprivation, the tedium, and even some of the tender moments. Enjoy!
