Reality of getting ready as a Mom

It’s chaos most of the time, but I wouldn’t have it any other way 🫶

2025/3/15 Edited to

... Read moreMotherhood often comes with a whirlwind of emotions and challenges, especially when it comes to getting ready each day. Many moms face the reality of juggling between their duties and personal time, which can lead to a chaotic morning routine. Research shows that about 84% of mothers feel overwhelmed when trying to balance their responsibilities, leading to added stress. This article explores tips for managing your time more effectively, including the importance of setting a routine that works for you and your family. Embrace small moments of self-care amidst the hustle to boost your mood and well-being. It's essential to remember that every mom's journey is different, and there is no perfect way to navigate these moments. Sharing experiences with other mothers and seeking support can create a sense of community, making those hectic mornings feel a little less overwhelming. Finding humor in the chaos can also enhance the experience, helping to appreciate the little joys in motherhood.

De-influencing you as a mom of 2
Love sharing a dose of reality and to also remind myself that these things are normal. I think it’s so easy on social media (especially as a mom), to feel like you’re behind, or not doing enough, or don’t have the fancy kitchen, nice nails, etc. I’m really focusing on gratitude this year and not tr

Timelapse vs reality ⏳ draw with me!
Cutting down a 17 minute video into under 1 minute ... hopefully it is interesting to watch! I love doing the kneaded eraser part a lot. Something satisfying about how it rolls over and lightens the sketch perfectly. Come back for video part 2 where I will be using gouache for the painting 🌸

He drops a bomb and blames you for getting burned
Not everything is gaslighting. But when it is—it’s deeply disorienting. Gaslighting isn’t just someone dismissing your feelings. It’s a pattern of manipulation that makes you question your own reality. And that distinction matters. #gaslighting #emotionalabuserecovery #relationshippat
