Imagine being a first time mom in a foreign country where you don’t speak the local language and the closest family member is thousands of miles away. This is how me and my daughter Audrey became best friends, and how my husband and I became stronger than ever. Mom On The Move: Living Abroad I…

Too Much Advice Is Like Too Many Cooks In The Kitchen

April 24, 2017

The minute you get pregnant, you’ll notice everyone starts giving you advice. Advice on what to eat, what not to eat, and everything in between. As if it wasn’t overwhelming enough, you now have complete strangers telling you exactly how to raise your unborn child. I personally felt more overwhelmed by the unsolicited advice I…

Overbuying For Baby

April 6, 2017

Overbuying for a new baby - it's a real problem! You want all of the cute baby clothes, but you will find your baby won't need all of them, and will soon outgrow those cute outfits.

Between all the new gadgets (what the hell is a wipe warmer?) and buying in bulk, it’s easy to end up with way too many baby things you will never use. One piece of advice I wish I had listened to more is this: BABIES GROW FAST!!! I know we’ve all heard it, but I…

Becoming Mommy: My Journey From Loss To Life

March 24, 2017

Becoming Mommy: My Journey From Loss To Life

I don’t know what I expected my pregnancy would look like. I knew what it wouldn’t look like. It wouldn’t look like me going out with my friends at a moment’s notice and having enough cocktails to warrant a Lyft ride home. It wouldn’t look like me doing a whole lot of acting, unless the…

To Nanny Or Not To Nanny?

March 18, 2017

How do you find "me" time as a mom? Sometimes a nanny is the perfect solution!

These days it seems like a nanny comes in a new baby starter kit. Is it just me or is everyone using a nanny? I guess I never truly noticed it until having a child of my own, but now I’m asked on a daily basis when I will get one. To Nanny Or Not…

Maintaining A Sense Of Self After Having A Baby

March 7, 2017

It seems like these days are all about nap times and diaper changes. I’m a long way from my pre-pregnancy self who enjoyed a girl’s night out maybe a little too much. I was once the girl that never missed a happy hour or a chance to get out with girlfriends. Now, with a baby,…

Our son Michael Joseph was born January 30, 2016, weighing 7lbs. 12oz. at 21” long. Where did the time go? From infant to toddler in just one short year.

My Experience Of Childbirth

February 23, 2017

A mom shares her story of childbirth.

January 29th at 11:20 am I was a little over 37 weeks pregnant when suddenly my water broke; shocked and afraid, I quickly past it off as a possible urine leak. I remember a wave of emotions coming over me, emotional because my journey with pregnancy was about to come to an end, and nervous…

Body Changes After Baby

January 26, 2017

I will be the first to admit that I was terrified of getting fat during pregnancy. I know it sounds terrible, but I have always been athletic and comfortable in my own skin. When people tell you that pregnancy takes over your body, they aren’t kidding! As soon as I found out I was pregnant,…

Planning For Baby’s First Birthday

January 22, 2017

Planning your baby's first birthday party and thanking the village of people who support your family every day.

I quickly realized we have a lot of family and friends after my son’s baptism, and I want to be able to include all of them in my baby’s first birthday celebration. Unlike our wedding that was “adult reception only,” and my baby shower that was “women only,” I am no longer able to shorten the…

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
