The Truth About Being a Stay-At-Home Mom

September 28, 2016 by not your average mom 5 Comments

Back in August of  2013 I wrote a post entitled  The Stay-At-Home Mom Challenge. At the time Numbers 1 through 4 were in school full time, Number 5 was four years old, Number 6 was three years old, and Number 7 was not quite two. So I was home with Numbers 5, 6, and 7 […]

I thought my kids would complete me. But they don’t.

The Stay At Home Mom Challenge

November 17, 2014 by not your average mom 13 Comments

If you are a stay-at-home mom of children under the age of 5, then you get it. You know how hard it is. Being home all day. Trying to keep your cool. Trying not to lose your patience. Trying to get one fucking thing checked off your to-do list without the entire house being trashed. […]
