Mom Moods Giveaway

My daughter has entered the stage of, “cling.” A toddler Koala. I remember wishing for this – the “I love my mommy more than anyone in the world and never want to leave her ever,” stage. Sigh. She’s driving me crazy. I love this little version of me and wouldn’t trade the cuddles for the…

Attention: I am NOT Manic

After a horrific week I called my doctor for help. She informed me I wasn’t Manic. It was just high anxiety; don’t confuse the two. I’ve pumped out 7 posts in 10 minutes. High quality writing, friends. I yelled at a trucker in the Walmart parking lot, cause he parked funny. I told off my…

No Half Assing This

Her face still has baby round cheeks that flush when she cries. She still plays with my hair (or yours) when she’s tired, or needs comfort, and her best friend, her soother, who she affectionately calls “ME-ME” still accompanies her to bed and in the car… or anywhere she can get away with. But as…

181 Days

6 months ago I laid in a hospital bed while a dr. told me I’d lost the baby I’d been so happy to be growing. All I could think was I’d lost it because I was such a terrible mother for the first two years of my daughter’s life and I didn’t deserve another shot….

Cool as a Muther Heffin’ Cucumber

This weekend I took our daughter swimming with a friend. Nothing too spectacular; her mother in a bathing suit; all the children of the world in one body of water; someone named Alynna having a birthday party; water up my nose and in my face. But we had fun and made it out unscathed. I…

Pinterest Success – How-to Create a Gallery Wall

I love me some Pinterest. I go there for the craft ideas, inspirational quotes, hilarity, and home renovation tips. But I rarely complete any of the projects I pin on there. I just pin to win. Until today, yo! Is it the meds? Is it the weather? Is it the five cups of coffee I’ve…

Mania for Me

When I was diagnosed with Bipolar II I researched endlessly in order to prepare myself. I wanted to be armed with as much information as I could, and be ready for what might happen next; understand triggers, and educate my family. I read articles and related to posts on the lows that bipolar throws its…
