The good, the bad, the ugly…We’re in this together

Welcome to Mom Trying To Make It.



I’m glad you’re here.

ABOUT ME

I am a “geriatric/advanced maternal age” bad ass mama of three trying my best to crush this mom thing. Aren’t we all just a mom trying to make it?

I am over 40 with three daughters: five, two and two.. Yes, twin toddler girls… Oh and I also have a rockstar husband, but this isn’t about him. 😊 In between the school pick-ups, kids sports, karate, keeping the children alive, making them their favorite foods that they will no longer like tomorrow and the housework, I work from home. I am an open book without the best personal filter. I try to stay active, in shape, and sane, but every now and then one or more of those falls off. I wanted to create this page for all of you out there who feel like they need someone outside of their immediate circle to go through this with. I wanted to create an opportunity for moms to come together for support and advice for the hardest job in the world that isn’t always surrounded by sunshine and snowflakes. The good, the bad, the ugly… we’re in this and we’re in it together…At the end of the day, aren’t we all just a mom trying to make it? Welcome! I’m glad you’re here.

ABOUT  THIS SITE

So you’re a mom now… From the ups, the downs, the highs, the lows and the journey in between, I put this together for all of you out there who feel like they need someone outside of their immediate circle to go through this with. This is a filter-free forum for moms to come together for support, advice and plain ole opinion on the hardest job we’ll ever have aka being a mom.

HERE WE GO...IT'S BLOG TIME

I put this together for all of you out there who didn’t have the lifelong, primary goal since childhood of always being a mom and loving every second of it.  I knew I always wanted to be a mom at some point, but to say that it was looking forward to the body changes, sleepless nights, change in lifestyle, financial constraints and unexpected opinions on how I raise said child, would be completely lying to you….. Here it goes.. My journey. My thoughts. Filter free. Unedited.  If you don’t like how this is playing out and have strong opinions about that which I write here, there’s a little box in the top right corner with a big X, please click there.  You’ll do us a both a favor.. Otherwise, please feel free to explore here and if there is any take away, I hope that it be: You’re not alone. Your feelings are uniquely yours and ok to have*. In the words of the ever-wise Ice Cube: Life ain’t a track meet, it’s a marathon” and so is this race called motherhood.  I’d love to be in it with you…. Hold on tight mamas. You’re in for a hell of a ride.
