Have you ever been in an energy crisis before? I hadn’t… until last week! A virus had half our family down and I just. Couldn’t.
Tired
For a laugh- Daylight Savings Reality
This post was written by guest mama Melissa after a ridiculously early morning….
Blessed, burned out, but on the up! Interview with Amanda
Meet Amanda~

Hats
Gin & I got off task the other night during a business meeting. (DID YOU KNOW WE ARE IN BUSINESS??! More on that later!). We were talking about why we were so tired. Gin has a legit reason to crave those zzz’s- a sweet boy waking every 2-3 hours! Read more

I’m not talking about the givens like..work, care for my children, feed the family, pay bills, and keep a somewhat put together house (I’m really bad at that last part).

Barnacle Baby
I’m pretty sure my son thinks the ground is hot lava. We’re on day “who the hell knows” of “don’t you dare set me down Mom!”. While my arms are looking pretty toned now, my exhaustion is on the rise.
My teething mama’s boy, who is entering the separation anxiety stage of infant life, makes for a stage five clinger barnacle baby. So my days are filled with a mix of the following: Read more
