"The other day at whole foods one of my kids started chanting, 'I love McDonalds.' as loud as He could while onlookers looked on mortified and stunned that this sweet child would be saying such things so close to the Kombucha."

"Sometimes I miss my old life. Mothers are so afraid to say that out loud...We stay silent because of judgement and for guilt."

They say cleaning your house with young children is like brushing your teeth while eating Oreos. The moment I finish cleaning the living room, I hear a crash in the bedroom that tells me a stack of puzzles has just been emptied on the floor.

"I looked away from what I was doing, over the mess of dirty children with fingernails that needed to be clipped digging sharply into my calves, and asked her what she meant... This girl. She's young. And she was so spot-on that I started to cry a little."

"I was straight up drowning... I was short-tempered, emotional, and overcome by mom guilt because of my anger."

"Motherhood is freaking hard. And I have days where I seriously wonder what I got myself into."

"To give away one’s body on behalf of another needy soul. No, I will never get my body back."

"At 2:00am when pitiful desperate squeals come through a baby monitor, I will come to her."
