LIFE. You guys. I don’t know about you, but I swear, after becoming a mom, things seem to become… less achievable shall we say?

And don’t get me started on the amount of baby throw up and diapers you clean up every hour! The point is, being a mom is hard and busy. Particularly, being a new mom is hard and busy. It’s like learning how to juggle, but instead of juggling balls or apples, your juggling having meals ready on time, making sure the laundry is done, making sure the baby is safe and happy, making sure you get that deadline for work or school finished, and whatever else life throws at you.
