Full Disclosure

Sometimes as a mom, no matter how badly I want to be perfect I'm far from it. There are things I focus on that are my priorities in how I handle myself and how I parent my boys.  With that said, there are lots of areas where I fall short- whether they are a big deal or a little deal around here. So here's a new little series of full disclosure-- letting you all in on my shortcomings haha. ;)


I never make breakfast. Like Ever. Unless it's for dinner. 

...Because of this, we eat a lot of granola bars, cereal, yogurt + toast. It could be worse...?

No matter how big my desire is to get up before the kids, I never do. Help a girl out--what's the trick? Besides Nate shoving me outta bed...

Raising my voice/yelling is the one thing that I really try to not do.  But I've been known to smack the wall or table. I'm working on taking a deep breath instead. #goals #dontjudge

I only make phone calls during nap time or in the car. The thought of my kids screaming in the background makes it feel chaotic and I feel bad for the person on the other line.  So I call when I'm confident there will be quiet on my end.  

I always said that my dog would be a priority no matter how many kids I had.  I love Benny dearly but I constantly feel bad that he isn't always a priority.  It's the reason he sleeps on my pillow. Yes, I said ON MY PILLOW 😜...it's my way of saying "sorry I ignored you all day--but I love you"

I love Nate's job and love that he (almost) always works 8-5. If it's 5:30 and he's not home, I send him a lovely "when do you think you'll be home babe?" text. I'm that nagging wife because mama needs a break ;)

I am organized but ever since having kids, I forget the most ridiculous things. For example- last night the dinner I was supposed to make needed to be put in the crockpot in the morning. Completely forgot until about 5:30pm. Soooo we had a frozen cheese pizza instead haha!

That's a little list to help you feel a little less crazy after reading about my shortcomings :)

I hope your Friday is wonderful and your weekend relaxing! I've got a girls night tonight and I'm so excited!

xox,

Naomi
