Three Times a Momma

Good luck getting me to do anything once I’m in that spot ✌️ My husband and I have different love languages. We love doing what we can for each other to meet those needs. That being said, one thing that really makes me feel loved is being taken care of in the most basic way - feed me, water me, clothe me, and help me get my stuff ready 😆 At the end of the day after being with the kids, I’m OUTTTTT. Sometimes I tell my husband I’ve clocked out or my shift is over and he knows what that means. I’ve reached my limit, and in bed I will stay unless I absolutely have to 😘 Tell me I’m not alone here 😂 . . . . #husbandgoals #adhdwomen #adhdinwomen #ihavethebesthusband #touchedout #adhdparenting #adhdmom #sahmproblems #sahmomlife #sahmprobs #overstimulated #overstimulatedmom #honestmommin #honestmomtalk #momstagram #momhumour #instagramvsreality #reallifemom #momreels #unfilteredmotherhood #honestmom #survivingmotherhood #honestmomconfessions #momtruthbomb #momconfessions #relatableaf #relatablemom #momstruggles #stillagoodmom #funnymomstuff

My girl knows what’s up 🙌 I literally couldn’t agree more, baby girl. I, too, wish I could eat chips all day. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to get my bag of Harvest Cheddar Sun Chips ✌️ Happy Thursday! . . . . #kidsarefunny #kidssaythefunniestthings #likemotherlikedaughter #funnymom #funnymoms #momhumor #momhumour #momjokes #motherhoodunfiltered #kidjokes #millennialmom #millennialmoms #relatableaf #relatablemom #relatablemoments #momtruth #momtruthbomb #kidtruth #motherhoodquotes #motherhoodthroughletterboards #letterboardquotes #letterboardmom #letterboards #momsunite #momsofgirls #mamacommunity

The girlies that get it, get it 😅 We run out of glasses waaaaay too often than we should bc of this thing that I do. Without fail, I leave about an inch or so of water/drink at the bottom of the cup. Here are some common questions I get asked when people find this out: 1) No, I do not do it on purpose. I don’t even realize that I do it until I start putting away dishes. 2) No, it’s not bc of backwash or anything like that. 3) No…I don’t usually finish the water later. I think, I THINK, I know why I do it though. I’m leaving myself a lil water for later, you know? If I get thirsty down the line, I’ll already have some! But…9 times outta 10…I don’t ever drink that last little bit of water…so there are about 15 cups floating around that have an inch of water in them 😆 Does anyone else do this?? . . . . #adhdawareness #adhdwomen #adhdinwomen #adhdstruggles #adhdproblems #adhdparenting #adhdmom #sahmproblems #sahmomlife #sahmprobs #messyhouse #messyhousehappykids #honestmommin #honestmomtalk #momstagram #momhumour #instagramvsreality #reallifemom #momreels #unfilteredmotherhood #honestmom #survivingmotherhood #honestmomconfessions #momtruthbomb #momconfessions #relatableaf #relatablemom #momstruggles #stillagoodmom #funnymomstuff

I want the laundry to BE done. I don’t wanna actually DO it. Adhd makes doing daily tasks completely overwhelming. I tell myself every day that I’ll do a load every day and life will be so much better! Ha! ADHD’s like “yeah okay” and then I don’t do that. Instead, I’ll get a random spark of energy/motivation and do 100 loads and have a gigantic pile and put it all away in one day. Is it efficient? Nope. Did it literally take me all day? Yeah huh. But did I do it? Yes! A win is a win 🙌 Do you also have this struggle?? . . . . #adhdawareness #adhdwomen #adhdinwomen #adhdstruggles #adhdproblems #adhdparenting #adhdmom #sahmproblems #sahmomlife #sahmprobs #messyhouse #messyhousehappykids #honestmommin #honestmomtalk #momstagram #momhumour #instagramvsreality #reallifemom #momreels #unfilteredmotherhood #honestmom #survivingmotherhood #honestmomconfessions #momtruthbomb #momconfessions #relatableaf #relatablemom #momstruggles #stillagoodmom #funnymomstuff

The family room just doesn’t exist anymore, mkay? I don’t know about anyone else, but our house is still an absolute disaster. Not that it’s ever in much better shape 😆 but like, this is a whole other level. Just wanted to share, you’re not alone if your house also looks like a tornado went through it. Whether it was because of the holidays, or because…well…KIDS live there, I see you. I am you. You’re still a good mom 💙 If you’re with me and avoiding the mess, let me know what you’re doing instead 🤪 Me? I’ll be playing Dreamlight Valley, byeeeeeee . . . . #aftertheholidays #messyhouse #messyhousehappykids #holidayburnout #honestmommin #honestmomtalk #momstagram #momhumour #instagramvsreality #reallifemom #momreels #momencouragement #unfilteredmotherhood #honestmom #survivingmotherhood #honestmomconfessions #momtruthbomb #momconfessions #relatableaf #relatablemom #momstruggles #stillagoodmom #toddlermomproblems #funnymomstuff

“This is brand new information!” When the kids are exploring their boundaries and learning how to control their bodies and they’re figuring out their spacial awareness…there’s a lot of…injuries, amirite? We try so hard to let them figure these things out on their own, but sometimes I advise them that what they’re doing is unsafe, like I’m sure so many of you do, too! We give them advice and most of the time, bc kids, they do whatever they want. Then…the injury. The tears, the absolute SHOCK on their lil faces, that they hurt themselves. I try and find the humor in motherhood, because otherwise I’d lose my mind. And when things like this happen (obvs only if they’re not seriously injured), I just have to laugh at myself and be proud of the fact that I’m letting them learn and figure things out. I’m currently watching through Friends, again, and I’m at this exact episode. When I heard this interaction I knew what I had to use it for - it works so well 🤣 If you can relate to this, press all the buttons and make sure to follow along for more motherhood giggles 🤪 . . . . #toddlermom #toddlermoments #toddlermomproblems #toddlermomma #toddlerlife #reallifemom #momreels #momhumour #motherhoodhumor #momencouragement #unfilteredmotherhood #millennialmom #funnymomstuff #motherhoodunfiltered #relatableaf #relatablemom #gentleparenting #stayathomemomma #stayathomemom #momtruthbomb #momtruth #tiredasamother #honestmommin #unconditionalparenting #parentinggoals #parentingskills #sahmproblems #sahmprobs #honestmomconfessions #kidsarefunny

October is Cancer Awareness Month 💙 I am sure that most of you know someone who has been affected by cancer. In 2022 alone, it’s estimated that 1.9 MILLION people will be diagnosed with a form of cancer. There are several people who I love dearly who have gone through cancer treatment in the past, and some who are going through it right now. 💙 Starting tomorrow, October 18th through December 31st, 2022 I will be donating 10% of ALL SALES in the Stronger Than Cancer section of my shop to the American Cancer Society. 💙 Get some for yourself, family members, friends who may be going through it or helping a loved one through it. 💙 Head to my b i o for the deets and check out my stories, as well.

I’m fine. Everything’s fine. Nothing to see here 🤪 Emotionally drained mamas…I see you 🙌 You are doing the hard work. You’re helping teach your kids how to regulate their emotions while simultaneously still learning how to regulate your own. That’s damn hard. I struggle with this quite a bit. I actively go to therapy and am learning how to process and express my emotions in the best way I can. I’m also implementing what I’m learning in my parenting. I’m trying to give my kids skills that I didn’t have as a child. That’s hard work! Some days I feel like Moira Rose and feel at peace with what I’ve been doing, but in the process I may have exhausted myself at the same time 😂 Anyone else feel like this at the end of a rough day?? 👇 . . . . #motherhoodunfiltered #northcarolinamom #momstofollow #millennialmoms #relatableaf #relatablemom #gentleparenting #stayathomemomma #stayathomemom #momtruth #momtruthbomb #motherhoodquotes #millennialparents #emotionalregulation #tiredasamother #cyclebreakers #aintnohoodlikemotherhood #parentsbelike #honestmommin #realmomlife #mommingainteasy #unconditionalparenting #parentinggoals #parentingskills #parentingadvice #parentingtheshitoutoflife #sahmproblems #sahmprobs #honestmomconfessions #sahmlifestyle

Sometimes screens save my sanity. Being a stay at home parent is overstimulating, to say the least. Constant noise, touch, chaos, etc. There are days where it feels like I couldn’t possibly play another round of Uno. When I have those days, we bring out their tablets, we put on a movie, TV show or whatever will get them to let me go to the bathroom in peace. We try to stick to educational shows, but honestly? If they wanna watch Pokemon while I take a shower? Done. Screens allow me to eat food, make phone calls, pay bills, schedule appointments, take care of house issues, shower, etc. They do not have their tablets or any screen all day long, but I am so grateful to have them when I need them. Being a stay at home mom is my literal dream come true, but just like any job, I’m entitled to breaks, too 🙌 I would literally rather sit on a hot grill before I take away screens 😂 Who’s with me?? (Also if you leave ANY type of mom/parenting-shaming comment, just don’t bother. I’ll immediately delete it bc we don’t tolerate that ish over here, mkay?) . . . . #motherhoodunfiltered #northcarolinamom #momstofollow #millennialmoms #relatableaf #relatablemom #relatablemoments #stayathomemomma #stayathomemom #momtruth #momtruthbomb #motherhoodquotes #momsunite #mamacommunity #tiredasamother #hotmessmom #aintnohoodlikemotherhood #parentsbelike #honestmommin #realmomlife #mommingainteasy #unconditionalparenting #parentinggoals #parentingskills #parentingadvice #parentingtheshitoutoflife #sahmproblems #sahmprobs #honestmomconfessions #sahmlifestyle

Depression is not one size fits all. It doesn’t look the same every day, and it sure as hell doesn’t look the same for everyone. It’s not something that you can see all the time. There are many people in my life (currently or in the past) who wouldn’t believe me if I told them I lived with depression. It can be really easy to hide at times. Other times, not so easy. I can’t get out of bed. I can’t take care of my own basic needs. Sometimes I lose chunks of time when I’m deep in a depressive episode - literally. I have memory loss. My depression never leaves me - HOWEVER - it does not control my every day. I go to therapy regularly. The most important lesson I’ve learned so far is that I am allowed to feel depressed AND joy at the same time. Weird, right? It’s a weird concept as they seem contradictory of each other. But let me tell you…when I’m in a depressive episode, and one of my kids comes in and gives me a hug or a picture they drew for me, I feel joy. I feel it! For years I felt like I wasn’t allowed to. That if I wasn’t 100% fully committed to the depressive episode, then I must be “faking it”; that I was betraying myself somehow by allowing myself to feel happiness. I’m here to tell you that you are ALLOWED. Your feelings are VALID. Getting help is PURE STRENGTH. YOU ARE NOT ALONE. Today is #worldmentalhealthday and I’m here sharing my story in hopes it will help someone else get the help they need. . . . . #worldmentalhealth #postpartumawareness #postpartumanxiety #postpartumdepression #momswithdepression #supportmoms #motherhoodunfiltered #depressionposts #depressionhurts #relatableaf #relatablemom #intrusivethoughts #momthoughts #momstruggles #momreels #honestmum #honestmom #momswithanxiety #mentalhealthblogger #mentalhealthawarenessday #mentalhealthadvocacy #depressionsupport #depressionisreal #depressionisabitch #mentalhealthwellness IB: @conscious.hippie.mama and @diaryofanhonestmom
