Another mommy blogger?

Well I suppose I should start with an introduction. I'm Nina. I'm 21 years old. I raise my 2 babies in a small town. A really small town. I'm a stay at home mom who has always enjoyed writing and Journaling my life. Fortunately, when you have 2 kids you NEVER run out of things to talk about. Since I had my son (Rowan), I'd put posts on instagram with long endless thoughts of how I view motherhood. Now I also have a daughter (Lydia "Liddy") and my views of motherhood continue to change and adjust with each day. Many of my friends have consistently encouraged me to start blogs or write books or submit articles. So I figure the blog is a good place to start.
    My days consist of chasing Rowan (2 and half years) while Liddy (3 months) is attached to my boob (all day, every day). I never have quiet shower time. I cook and clean one handed. I recently just chopped my hair off so that I can just wake up and hit the floor running (after Rowan usually). My husband works a typical Monday thru Friday 8 to 6 job playing in the dirt (landscaping). Needless to say Saturday and Sunday are my favorite days because there are 2 extra arms to restrain my kids with.
     I'm very strongly opinionated about some things. I realize this may irritate alot of people. But that's why this is my blog. So please, spare me the comments off your disapproval if you disagree with something.
     I am by no means one of those mom's who spends $7 on gluten free bread or $10 for 6 Hebrews national franks. My kids will probably live to ripe old age of 110 because of all the preservatives they will eat. Yes I make Rowan eat his fruits and veggies. But I also let him eat Oscar Meyer weiners and Oreos too. Have I put root beer in his sippy cup before? I sure have. Do I let him sit in the buggy and eat a bag of chips so I can get thru the store without trying to leave him on a shelf? You betcha. Here's the deal, I'm a tired young mom. I may not do everything perfectly, but I do try to train my kids to be decent humans. Isn't that all any mom is trying to do? I Hope this new attempt of mine proves to be what I think it will be. And I hope it provides you readers with plenty of laughs, tears, and peace of mind knowing you aren't the only ones out there losing your battles to tiny 2 year old dictators. Here's to raising isoms, or whatever your kid's last name is!

-Nina.

    I love this already :D just your wording on things makes me chuckle. Of course, I am not a mom. But if I was, I would imagine it would be a lot like this.

Oh poop

     Let's talk potty training ...I think I felt the shudders and tears of mothers everywhere when I said those two words. Who would have thought that teaching someone to crap in a bowl of porcelain would be such a stressful ordeal? But man Oh man... stressful is putting it lightly. After months and months of working with Rowan I had him trained before Lydia was born. I was THRILLED. I wasn't going to have two in diapers!!! But then he went to my mom's for 2 weeks while I recovered from my C-section. Needless to say when he came home he was not using the potty anymore. I don't hold it against mom, I get it. She was busy with her life too while trying to help me with mine. And I was trying to get breastfeeding down and still healing even after he came back home, so I didn't immediately put him back in undies. But today I am starting again.       I am pretty irritated that I have to go thru this again. Cleaning smushed poop out of underwear i...

Today I'm useless

     Somedays all you can do is sit there and stare at your kids. I wish life was like a parenting magazine. Where the mom's are flawless and they are artistic and creative and the kids just glow. And their houses are trendy and clean and all the white surfaces are flawless. And they all eat these fancy gluten free meals with organic everything. Blah blah blah. I call that giving mom's unrealistic expectations. The raw truth of it is that somedays you can barely hold your head up. I'm gonna guess that the professionals who put these magazines together either have nannies for their kids, so it's easy for them to dance a jig and click their heels in front of a camera with their kids because that 5 minutes is the only time they've spent with their kids that week. Or they are the type of women who never had kids but think they know EXACTLY what every mom should be like. Or maybe im just an exceptionally tired mother.      Today I took my kids in a vo...
