I’m A Hot Mess Mom, But I’m (Mostly) Ok With It
[[link removed]]
Anybody else worried about returning to the school-year grind or facing it for
the very first time? For a little inspiration, please read this piece by CJ
Kelsey, who is admitting the truth as her kids start back to class: “I’m a hot
mess mom. I wish I was a Pinterest mom, a PTA mom. A soccer or a dance mom. But
we don’t do consistent extracurricular activities so I can’t adopt any of those
labels. So for now I’m just the messy mom. I’m self-aware enough to know this,
and I’ve almost made my peace with it.”
Sometimes, you’ve just gotta own it. Maybe you relate?

From The Confessional: I Really Needed This Win
[[link removed]]
Today we’ve got another roundup from the Scary Mommy Confessional. My personal
favorite? “Toddler had a screaming tantrum in the airport bathroom. Coming out
of the stall, an older woman told me, ‘You're a good mom,’ before drying her
hands and walking out. Those words saved me from having a breakdown and missing
our flight.” God bless that woman. If you’ve got a confession to make —
anonymously, of course — please tell all through the link here
