This isn’t a polished bio or a highlight reel. It’s the real stuff people usually ask—
out loud or not.
Think of this as an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation sharing my thoughts on the conversations and realities of motherhood that don’t always get said out loud—
grounded in my own lived experience; not advice, instruction, or judgment.
Do you drink everyday?
No, but sometimes I wish I did because damn, the struggle is too real most days. I don't see anything wrong with a lil mom juice/poison when you need it. I am not here to judge & you shouldn't be either.
Why do you think it's ok to yell/scream at your kids?
When I was preggers with my first child, I swore up and down I wouldn't be a mom who raised her voice, let alone yell at my kids...but then I had kids and $hit got real....real annoying.
I don't pride myself on my yelling abilities, but f*ck kids are hard, and sometimes it's hard to keep your composure, especially when you've repeatedly said the same thing over and over and over.
If you're not a yeller, then more power to you.
You say you're a sweary mom, why do you think that's appropriate?
Have YOU really never dropped an F' bomb or even muttered the word d@mn in front of your kids? If not, then again, more power to you, but I can almost promise you someone else has.
I admit, I have a mouth of a sailor (too bad I don't have the sailboat to go with it lol) but my kids have been taught right & wrong and know better than to repeat "my cussing" or at least they don't do it in front or me or at school or in public.
You actually have tattoos & body piercings?
Hell yeah, I do, and what's your point? I strongly believe in self-expression and have no problem if my kids want to as well, of course not when they're a toddler, but when they're mature & legally old enough to make that decision.
It's not up to us to judge how people choose to express themselves.
Why aren't you part of the PTA?
Because you are. LOL All jokes aside, I really appreciate the PTA moms, it's just not for me - I have 4 kids and too much going on between after school activities, working, etc. I can't commit to something that I am not able to deliver on, it's just not my style - it doesn't make me a $hitty mom, I am just an extremely busy one.
Your thoughts on working vs. staying home with your kids?
I've always been a working mom, but in mid-2019, I was laid off for the first time, and then the global pandemic happened. And you know what else happened? I became a stay-at-home mom by accident, not choice.
MUCH LOVE to all stay-at-home mommies because wholly $hit that's the hardest thing I've ever had to do—be home with 4 kids through a global pandemic, and MY OWN 4 kids at that. lol
I have mad love & respect for both working and stay-at-home moms, and I 100% believe both are hard AF. TBH, we're all just doing what's best for our family & it should be left at that.
Where do you stand on Cannabis?
The million-dollar question, huh? lol Truthfully, I used to be a non-believer, but a short few years ago, during a birthday getaway to (yes, LA - go figure), I got woke.
And by woke, I mean educated. Little did I know, and boy, had I been wrong up until that point.
You see, cannabis actually saved both my physical and mental health, and I think it's about time everyone gets "woke" about the realities of cannabis & the health benefits it can provide.
I am not saying you "should" or "have" to use cannabis; what I am saying is, perhaps do yourself a favor and put in your research and try to understand why people use it, versus being so judgmental. If it's not for you, then leave it at that.
