"I can’t help but think that it’s supposed to be this way. I don’t think we are meant to feel complete here on earth."

This time of year is hard for you, I know. I was a single mom for almost five years. My sister was for seven. And my mother has been a single mom for almost the entirety of her four children’s lives.

This is why moms are always so quick to snap. This is why we are so sensitive. Because we are desensitized. We are numb. We are so beyond burnt out.

Here they were. Brown boots, fuzzy on the inside, worn ragged but sturdy as fresh leather, covered in dog hair and the permanent crumbs of family life.

I had zero expectations for the Barbie movie, and therefore, my expectations were wildly exceeded. But the parts I truly did not see coming that wrenched my heart in two were centered on motherhood, of all things.

Tech tags like Apple AirTags and Tile are all the rage. But one mom has a rather unique use for these tech tags that's causing a bit of a dustup on TikTok: she puts them on bracelets on her two and four-year-old children and has "trained" them to come to her when the AirTags beep.

I see women diminishing or suppressing other areas of their life because God has called them to motherhood.

“Not every new mother’s journey is happy and bright. Sometimes it is dark, lonely, scary, miserable, and uncertain."
