I'm Becky and I'm a working mom of two toddlers who started blogging in 2012 and I absolutely loved connecting with friends and strangers about my life.....but then my life changed pretty drastically, pretty quickly (read: got married and had two babies within two and a half years). So in January 2019, I started the Uncurated Mama blog because I've never successfully curated anything in my life. Not my wardrobe, not my book collection, and certainly nothing having to do with my kids - the closest to "curated" we get at home is all successfully being dressed and out the door somewhat on time on any given day. We've curated the art of good enough. My goal is to help normalize mom life for the mama's who are getting by with more microwaved dinners, sticky fingers, and over-booked calendars than they'd like to admit...but it's good enough, right?

The rollercoaster of emotions that is quarantining with kids

Even if someone has it worse, your pain during this pandemic is valid.

I didn’t like breastfeeding so I didn’t do it

While I was being told that it was one of the most important bonding experiences I could have with my tiny child, it was also one of the largest sources of stress for me in those first few days. It caused me to feel nothing but frustration, anxiety and guilt over not being better at it or feeling like it was bonding me in any genuine way with my baby.
