Christmas Magic

December 28, 2020December 29, 2020 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

I have spent much of the last several weeks fretting. Worrying that I am somehow letting my offspring down with the lack of Santa photos or strolls through the botanical gardens to see Christmas lights. Concerned that I am somehow damaging his childhood- removing a precious year of magic. Through the ever-present second guessing (and … Continue reading Christmas Magic

Still human, damn.

December 8, 2020December 9, 2020 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

A few weeks ago I began a post with this wining prose: "I think it has finally happened. I have become either John or Max from Grumpy Old Men. It's a tossup which one, at this point. I am crotchety. The internet irritates me. The media grinds my gears even more. And mostly what I … Continue reading Still human, damn.

2020 has been a weird year

October 19, 2020 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

I put way too much pressure on these first sentences. Particularly if I have been away for a while. I look for a succinct and poignant way to describe my absence; one that will dovetail smoothly into the epic monologue I wish to craft. Frankly, after much gnashing of teeth, I have determined said goal … Continue reading 2020 has been a weird year

Mother’s Day 2020

May 11, 2020May 11, 2020 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

This little slice of the internet hasn't been on my radar as of late. Hell, it hasn't even been in the vicinity. Let's be frank, the adjustment to this "new normal" has been more akin to whiplash. Isolating, scary, uncertain. I have had millions of slivers of ideas- typically poetically pondered just before sleep steals … Continue reading Mother’s Day 2020

Cherishing the time

March 13, 2020March 13, 2020 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

The other night, Moose snuggled into my arms in the rocking chair and declared that he wanted to see pictures of "the baby". To be honest, it took some sussing out, as at nearly four he is still not always a wordsmith. Through a wrinkled brow and patient questioning, it was determined that the baby … Continue reading Cherishing the time

Little bit o’ avoidance

February 19, 2020March 21, 2020 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

I haven't been writing. Well, that's not accurate. I haven't been publishing. I have been writing. Clicking away at the keys to create a million drafts that are only a few paragraphs long, before I abandon them. Succumbing to what I deemed a pressure-induced writers block. But now that I have determined to face that … Continue reading Little bit o’ avoidance

Sometimes, you gotta name the feeling

December 13, 2019December 13, 2019 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

There is an irony to the timing of this post- or rather the struggles I am having composing it. My last essay was about facing fear. Doing the things that scare you. Vulnerability. And here I sit, allowing my fear to silence me once more. Or at the very least, trying to. So, I am … Continue reading Sometimes, you gotta name the feeling

Looking fear in the face

November 20, 2019November 20, 2019 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

Fun fact: just like most things in life, getting started is the hardest part. I have been sitting here, staring at my keyboard with thoughts swirling for the last twenty minutes. I want to write- I actually have a vague idea of the point I wish to make. But I cannot get that first sentence … Continue reading Looking fear in the face

Ramblings of a sleepy mom

October 29, 2019October 29, 2019 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ Leave a comment

When I carved out this slice of the internet a little over two years ago, I had all of the ideas. Brimming with words- excited about sharing my perspective on the world. Motherhood. My life. As I sit in this chair, pecking at these keys, I don't possess the same amount of words. This is … Continue reading Ramblings of a sleepy mom

I didn’t disappear!

September 13, 2019September 13, 2019 ~ Mommyhood Mayhem and Me ~ 5 Comments

I have resurfaced! I have scribbled a thousand different ways to start this post. Mostly because I felt like I needed to take a deep dive into why I have been absent for so very long. There are handwritten pages that take that plunge- but mostly it comes to one thing- I had no idea … Continue reading I didn’t disappear!
