Some little confessions


These mom-fessional (mom confessional) moments are real, my friends. Here are just a few things are do on almost a daily basis to keep me somewhat sane:

+ I throw out artwork like it’s my job. Unless it’s really good, then I keep it… sometimes. But seriously, when your six year old loves art and comes home with 7 scraps of paper from her Montessori— it almost instantly goes in the recycling.

+ Regifting my kids presents that are not used, they’re too old for etc.  is not below me.

+ If perchance my kids go in the backyard for a little while and I forget to slather them with sunscreen, I tell myself they need the Vitamin D  in this Canadian climate

+ I don’t entertain my kids all the time. Call it laziness on my part but I think it’s okay for them to be a little bored. They get very creative.

+ I use my mom voice ( and empty threats) almost every-single-morning to get us out the door somewhat on time.

+ Evening park time is not my favourite. I’m soooo tired by the time evening rolls around  so if D does it, I stay home and clean up, blog  or just put away stuff. Same for bath. If he would do it every day, I would be soooo happy.

Bribery is a parenting tool in this house. I use it often and salaciously

+ When D is out, working late, at a conference , I put my girls to bed quite a bit earlier.  Sometimes it’s daylight, sometimes it’s not. 

+ I'm a pretty clean person but my car since having kids looks like a bomb of paper, beanie boos and shoes have exploded in it. 

+ My kids have a candy box that’s not in their reach for some occasional treats.  When there’s chocolate in there, I often partake.


(And if you're looking for a true momfessional moment, that involves a baby, a bare bottom and a carpet, you have to read this post from a few years ago)


And there you have it. What are your mom confessions?

Linking up with Andrea

  3. OMG, the park!! I know, right? My husband is always suggesting that we go to the park either right before supper or after supper, and I am not into it. He reminds me that the park is not for me. I am always trying to get out of it too.
