By The Unwritten Memoir of a Stay At Home Mom

Hi, I’m Elle! I am a 34 year old stay at home mom of two kids under 3. And these are my confessions (yes just like real world or if you are too young for that, one of those videos on YouTube where the people cry and spill there hearts etc.)! Mine is maybe more laughter than tears
and just about my life and especially my life with two kids... And maybe more - only time will tell.

Freaking out

Freaking out

I have been taking everything a little to seriously. I just need to relax and have fun (get off of instagram), take a bath and just enjoy life. Sounds like a piece of cake - but as a mom its so easy to forget to do.

Finally, a new one is out.

Finally, a new one is out.

Happy 3rd Birthday to me!

Happy 3rd Birthday to me!

It just occurred to me that my daughter’s third birthday is my third birthday as a mom!!! Just some thoughts on that topic and a couple mind blanks and rambles along the way!!(Also no jingle because it wouldn’t add and I didn’t want that to be the reason I didn’t upload this week!)

Becoming Me ... Again

Becoming Me ... Again

It is sooo true. You are not yourself until your kids are about one, until then give yourself a pass. Listen to how different I was this time around as a mom and hear a lot about the mom guilt I carried and how it’s finally going away.

Real Parenthood.

Real Parenthood.

No sleep, doesn’t matter still have to cook, clean and play. That’s the truth of parenthood. Also maybe I am having some wrong thoughts about my daughter and how I plan to change that. Let me know what you guys think. 😊

Why are we soooo anxious?

Why are we soooo anxious?

What is it about today’s culture and society that breeds anxiety amongst so many of us? I share some of my personal experiences with anxiety and share some hilarious stories about my kiddos. One involves 💩.

Ramblings...

Ramblings...

Let it gooooooooo!

Let it gooooooooo!

Sometimes in parenting the issue is us - not the kids! This week I share one of those and I talk my way through a song and ramble for about two min to long, lol. Love y’all ❤️

Breakthrough is messy.

Breakthrough is messy.

You don’t know you are a good parent until you choose to go a different route than what others have advised and it works. In this episode I jump on the trust your gut parenting method. Please enjoy 😉!

It’s Not Being Two That’s The Problem...

It’s Not Being Two That’s The Problem...

Life with kids is well...hilarious, exhausting, frustrating and as my daughter says, “EVERYTHING!” I actually laughed a lot in this episode. So if you wanna hear about my week (two days so far lol) with my kids give it a listen.

Intentional Parenting

Intentional Parenting

Intentional Parenting is my new buzz word. This is how I would classify me and the hubs style of parenting. I.E. we spend Friday nights talking about our kids and how to love them better. (A far cry from our college days lol.)

Prevent a crisis and eat a donut 🍩 maybe even two.

Prevent a crisis and eat a donut 🍩 maybe even two.

My dear friend joined us on the episode today. She is a crisis counselor and brings about 10 years of counseling experience. So just got her to hop on and give us some gold nuggets to help us be better parents. She also told me that I can eat a donut lol. I also laughed so loud it was almost embarrassing! Enjoy 😉

It’s Gotten Better.

It’s Gotten Better.

Transition. Easy to miss. Usually, ACTUALLY, almost always hard. Mainly because you often don’t realize you are in one until you are coming out. Better done with another. Here about mine in this weeks episode.

I had a dream...

I had a dream...

Very past tense. Lol. I used to define myself as a dreamer. I idolized MLK Jr., memorized the I have a dream speech and followed all the instagrammers telling me how they are living their dream life. Then well I had two kids no sleep and very few coherent thoughts. So where does that leave me? Listen to find out! Love y’all ❤️

Control...ling.

Control...ling.

If I put dots in the word it looks better lol. But really I just want some control, in all the places I need to let go of it. This episode ended without covering one of the topics I mentioned in the beginning because my daughter didn’t fall asleep and I had to go lay with her for a bit - which didn’t work so I just kept going when called and like seven visits and an hour later she finally went to sleep. 🤦🏽‍♀️ #welcometomotherhood

Unloveable and 💩.

Unloveable and 💩.

Ok the title is slight clickbait. I have struggled with needing to be validated over the years to really feel loved and I dove into how I am dealing with that right now and my daughter she won’t poop. HELLLLP!

First Child Parent vs. Two Children Parent

First Child Parent vs. Two Children Parent

Come on guys everyone who has two kids already knows it but parenting your first child looks VERY different from parenting the second one and I talk about all those differences here. (Think ziploc bagged outfits for my first vs. what item was left at home this time. )

Who in the world am I?

Who in the world am I?

A pretty poor introduction but one none the less. I list five facts about myself and then ramble a bunch more. P.S. no soul searching here, I mean really with two kids who has time for that?
