Because toddlers don’t come with a manual…

But if they did, I’d surely be here to help you decode all of it! I’m Julia, a mama to 2 wild and beautiful boys who keep me on my toes 24/7! I am also a mom who battles with POTS, a chronic illness that heavily affects my heart rate. Living with chronic illness is tough, but some very unique challenges arise when you throw parenting into the mix too! I’m here to speak about not only parenting, but also parenting while you’re low on spoons!

I started this blog because, like so many other moms, I found myself very overwhelmed with the constant demands of parenting. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I feel I have some pretty unique tricks up my sleeve that i believe will be valuable to other moms navigating parenthood for the first time. Whether it be battling the messes of potty training, trying to convince your wild toddler to simply eat one bite of food, or just trying to manage to keep your own body upright through the day. I want to be here for you through it all, the good and the ugly! because there are a lot of moments in parenthood that may not be Pinterest worthy, but they are however worthy of conversation. You are not alone in the trenches mama, i am right there alongside you, and we are going to get through this together!

It’s so nice to meet you, and I hope you’ll stick around for a while!
