My Screw Ups

FIVE months pregnant and still nursing!

October 26, 2020

Denise, mom of Gigi

When I had Gigi everyone gave me so much information about breastfeeding, but I never knew how incredibly hard it would be to stop. Gigi is 18 months old, and up until about 3 weeks ago she was nursing about 10-12 times a day. We co-sleep, so night nursings have always been easier. Sometimes I…

Watch Your Mouth!

May 4, 2018

Lynnaya

If you know me, you know I have a very colorful way of speaking at times. I am very guilty of swearing around my kids and other people’s, too (not intentionally). Sorry! Dammit! Is it just me, or do most moms swear more after having kids? Obviously, we have more stress and frustration in our…

Jessica and Sophie

I’ve always heard that being a mother is the hardest job in the world. Lately, I’m really starting to understand that saying. To be completely honest and blunt, I feel like I can’t get my shit together. With all of us battling the cold/flu season, moving into a new home, renovating that new home, working,…

Bad Mom?

March 12, 2018

child in grocery store

I admit it. I’ve been a bad mom. By “bad mom” I mean a lazy mom. I didn’t realize this until a complete stranger’s comment in the grocery store today. He took one look at my crazy kid running up and down the aisles and told me she needed to be in a stroller. Of…

It Takes a Village

It Takes A Village To Raise A Child

I am not a perfectionist by any means, I do, however, pride myself on being a good mother and being there for my children. A perfect mother probably would not completely forget her child at school right!? Yes, that was me a few weeks ago. It Takes a Village I’ll paint you a picture of…

Baby’s First Haircut or Bowl Cut?

February 1, 2018

The reason my little girl looks like a boy at the moment is not entirely my fault. My husband is away a lot for work so he misses a lot of “firsts”. Obviously, I don’t tell him that and act like all milestones are the first time in front of him. Usually I can keep…

Sleep Training Mom Fail

August 20, 2017

I tried to sleep train my baby in her crib last night, for the first time, and failed miserably. I got weak and put her in our bed in the middle of the night when she wouldn't stop crying.

Finding The Right Shoe Size For My Toddler

April 2, 2017

Doctors recommend getting your toddler's foot measured at least once every three months. It's important to measure your toddler's feet before buying shoes.

As a first-time mom I have made some mistakes, but this one takes the cake. My son Mikey started to walk at 11 months old, and from the moment he took off, I quickly realized it was time to stop using crib shoes, because they are mainly for looks. I knew I needed to buy…

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….
