I’m welcoming myself to a club that probably exists but I don’t know where the meetings are held, and even if I did I’d probably be late or miss the meeting altogether!

Am I the only one who feels like the standards for Motherhood have somehow gotten so high that they are unreachable?

I’d love to be the stay at home mom with the magical amounts of time to breastfeed the baby, spend appropriate time with the big kid, make my man happy, make wholesome good tasting meals everyday for lunch AND dinner, blog about it, and run a successful apparel shop.

However, let me be REAL real with you…. I’m not that woman described above. I am a former single momma working a solid 40 hours a week, pumping every three hours to sustain my four month olds eating habits while I’m working, telling my man that I’d love to stay home if he can magically make twice as much money, and sending my 3rd grader to school with “chocolate sammies” because I don’t have the energy to argue that Nutella is not actually healthly.

So, here’s my declaration: Hello, my name is Tiffany and I’m a Hot-mess. But I swearing I’m trying not to be!

I say all of this with so much honesty that I’m hesitant to post it. Right now I’m keeping an eye on the home made pizza with string cheese stuffed crust, while the baby cries because weekends are for being connected to me (of course!), my big kid is down the street helping her friend clean her room, and the dog is looking at me like “shouldn’t you be doing something about all this”.

Until next time friends!

T!
