Growing up I was always terrified of being a mom but at the same time I wanted to be one. I was scared to see what kind of mom I would be or if I would screw up at the whole MOM role especially now a days in the judgmental world we live in. Don’t spank your kids, do give them so many chores, be all organic, why are you using that lotion, breastfeeding is disgusting, you have to breast feed cause it’s the only thing that’s good for your

I always find myself struggling on my packing list (cause we all know with kids its more of a packing list than grabbing your bag and walking out the door).
