to-do list

Life

Even though I’m exhausted at the end of the day, I can’t fall asleep

I will remind myself to call the babysitter in the morning, buy dish soap, call the dentist, and respond to the work email, all in about 25 seconds. When I should be sleeping.

Life

I *should* be emptying the dishwasher, but I’m busy holding my baby

I’m sitting here knowing this time goes by way too fast. This is probably the last newborn I’ll cuddle with like this

Life

The mental load of motherhood always piles up on Sunday

As the default parent, I am the keeper of the pantry, the schedule and all sports accessories.

Life

To the mama who is the last person on her ‘to-do’ list

I’m determined that this year is going to be different.

Parenting

I was going to fold the clothes, but instead I held you

You fell fast asleep on my chest and it was an easy choice of what to do.
