Leggings, Leftovers, and Losing It (Just a Little)

Let’s just say it: mom life is a beautiful, slightly chaotic circus and most days, I’m the ringmaster in leggings, reheating coffee for the third time, answering algebra homework while refereeing an argument about who really took the charger.

From diaper duty to driver's ed, motherhood is a lot. A lot of love, a lot of noise, and a lot of half-finished snacks in random places. But it’s also full of hilarious, unfiltered moments that remind us we’re doing just fine.

The Real (and Really Funny) Side of Mom Life

Ever walked into your teen’s room and been low-key afraid of what’s under the bed?
Ever found a moldy lunchbox you swear they cleaned out?
Ever said, “If I hear that song one more time…” before 9 a.m.?

Whether your kids are building block towers or breaking curfew, welcome to the club. We’re all just doing our best with grace, grit, and a good sense of humor.

Grace (and Giggles) for the Daily Mayhem

You don’t have to be the perfect mom - you just have to be their mom. Some days you’re meal-prepping veggies, and some days you’re serving pizza rolls on paper towels. Some days you’re crafting, and some days you're hiding in the laundry room scrolling Instagram. God didn’t call you to be flawless. He called you to be faithful. Even when that faithfulness looks like whispering prayers during soccer practice or while waiting up for your teen to get home.

5 “Mom Fails” That Weren’t Actually Fails

• You gave them cereal for dinner.
  That’s called independence training.
  
  

• You lost your temper, then apologized.
  That’s modeling humility and real love.
  
  

• You forgot spirit week (again).
  They won’t remember the outfit, but they’ll remember your hugs.
  
  

• You let them have extra screen time.
  That’s mental health for everyone.
  
  

• You felt like you weren’t enough.
  But you kept showing up. That’s everything.
  
  

📖 A Verse for the Messy Days

"She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come."  Proverbs 31:25 (NIV)

She laughs not because life is easy, but because she knows where her strength comes from. (Spoiler: it’s not the coffee… though let’s not lie, it helps.)
