How to BE an AWESOME "Damaged" Mom!



I am a damaged mom. *gasp* right? lol Maybe you are damaged too and if you aren’t at this moment, chances are you will be at some point throughout the challenges of motherhood.

Eleven days ago I took a bad fall and seriously injured myself. Our new cottage property is under construction and I went to step outside onto a step that had been moved, so I misjudged how far the drop would be. This resulted in my toes hitting the deck full force, my foot bending in half and I landed on the front of my ankle.

You KNOW You're a MOM When... Volume I

You know your a MOM when...

You have to sneak around...

Peeing alone is a thing of the past...


Your memory likes to play tricks on you...



You are constantly searching for your SANITY...


You are pretty sure there are silent alarms rigged everywhere in your house...



You wish there was an app to find things in your house...


You behave like a gangsta rap star when the kids are finally in BED...


You miraculously remember everything you forgot to do, when all you want to do is shut your brain off and go to bed.

The Most AWESOME Mother's Day EVER!

The Most AWESOME Mother’s Day EVER! 

Once upon a Mother’s Day morning, the Mama was still sleeping soundly while the kids and the loverman cooked and cleaned and did the laundry very, very quietly. 

When all the cleaning was done, the kids quietly opened the Mama’s bedroom door and surprised her with a hot cup of coffee, just the way she likes it and wished her a HAPPY Mama’s Day!    


Before the kids left the Mama to enjoy her delicious hot cup of coffee in peace, they showered her with lots of love, hugs and kisses!

Keep the CHANGE!

I received amazing customer service this morning and that is what prompted this blog. The gentleman who served me was respectful, cheerful, helpful and super polite. He absolutely made my day, despite the fact that he is probably only getting paid $10.25/hr (minimum wage in Ontario, Canada) and struggling to make ends meet. 

Most people who work in the customer service industry do not make a decent living wage. This is well known. And if it isn’t well known, it absolutely should be!

When you think about it, people who work in the front line of the customer service industry are the key representatives and the first impression of the business they work for.

What's Going ON?!

 
What’s going on? I’ll tell ya what’s going on, awesomeness is going on! 

If you are reading this, chances are you have helped me make that happen. Before I tell you about all of the amazing things I’m working on, I would like to personally thank each and every one of my readers for supporting me, laughing with me and sharing with me. It is because of YOU that I absolutely love doing what I do! 

For those of you who are not aware, I recently took advantage of an amazing opportunity and I have turned my comic strip hobby into a webcomic business.

Environmentally Friendly Gifts That KEEP GIVING!


Over the last year and a half, through the power of social media, I have been stripping away the insanity of life and parenthood and building a community of people who choose to find the positive and the humor in life instead of taking it WAY too seriously! 

On February 14, 2013, I officially turned my comic strip hobby into a comic strip business. I would like to personally thank all of you who have supported me and encouraged me to do this! It has been an incredible venture and YOU have made it possible!

Keep Focusing on the Good, the Positive and the Humor. <3

 
 
In light of yesterday's tragic events that took place in Boston, I encourage you to keep focusing on the good, the positive and the humor in life. I understand that in times like these it can be difficult. However, the truth is that hate crimes and acts of war & evil occur on a daily basis throughout the world. They are committed by people who are consumed with evil and hatred. Period.
 
Innocent lives are lost tragically every day.  You cannot hate and condemn an entire country or group of people because of the acts of some.

Take Time to STOP and Smell the TULIP!

Last night, while I was tossing and turning in bed going over my “mental lists” of ALL the things I want and need to accomplish this week over and over again in my head, out of nowhere, a precious memory randomly flew into the middle of all that mess of multi-thinking.
 
It was a memory from about 5 years ago. Lexie was 5ish and in kindergarten. My youngest son was in junior high and my oldest son was in high school. I was a single mama at the time and having to get the kiddos off to three different schools as well as myself to work and get there on time made for super challenging mornings, to say the least.

TIMES HAVE CHANGED!

 
My, my, my... how times have changed!
 
If you have been affected by the “spring forward” time change and you are anything like me, you might be feeling a little “off” today.
 
You might be affected by the time change IF....
 
  • You woke up this morning and your alarm said “time to get up” and your mind said “NO!”
  • You physically feel like you have whiplash from being slung shot into the future.
  • There are two different time zones in your house because you are too lazy to change ALL the clocks.
