For anyone who has read my posts in the past…I love humor, I love telling stories about my kids and I love putting myself on front street for all bad parenting choices I make. I want to be a voice out there, speaking loudly that:
It’s ok to have bad parenting moments!
It’s ok to have a messy house!
It’s ok to have a headache on Tuesday morning because you had a little too much wine “trying to relax” on Monday night!
I could go on…but it gets darker…
Writing blog posts over the past couple of years has been an outlet for me and it has been a way to keep in touch with the outside world. I love it when people reach out and comment and say that they’ve had similar experiences, they are just afraid to share, or they found something hilarious in something I wrote.
So, at the encouragement of a good friend, who in one of my dark moments the other day reminded me that I used to love to write (as recently as this past spring), I’d like to jump back into posting. I honestly don’t know what’s going to come out. These past 10 months have been some of the ugliest in my life. I’m not sure what I can share or want to share. But I know that writing used to lift my spirits in a crazy way, and in large part because of friends who read and commented and reached out, and that made me a better person at life. And we all know that the world would be a better place if it contained people who felt their best on a daily basis. So, here we go…

Hey!! Glad you are going to pot again, was just thinking yesterday how I missed reading your stuff. You are an inspiration to me. Believe it or not. While I have a partner, she works most weekends so that makes me feel like a single parent … my 3 kiddos are quite the handful and I spend most weekends wishing for Monday. I don’t have any idea how you do it everyday Shelley.

Every time I finish a post I think about the single parents who have more than 2 kids. And I think I have it hard. 🤪 Sometimes you just need to be able to take a break….
Thank you so much for the encouragement! 🤗♥️

I’m so glad that you are going to write again! It has been great to read your posts-I love your humor! But the best part for me is hearing that I’m not alone in this motherhood thing. It can be ugly,, and I think it’s important to share what is really about, rather than just put our best selves out there on Facebook.
Thank you for being brave!

Thank you so much!!! It is great to be able to be “real” as much as possible and be encouraged rather than judged- at least out loud!!😂😂 I’ve got a lot to share but haven’t decided how much of it should remain personal 🤗 thank you!
