Just because life is serious doesn’t mean I have to be.
Today’s reminder to myself: Why so serious?
I’m allowed to show up as my full, happy self—even in the serious moments.

A little reminder that writing & being a homeparent IS real work, and supported my family better during those years than driving to a fast-food job would have done.
Working Parent is book 2 in my series of real life stories!

I used to think tight timelines and unclear goals were exhausting. But I negotiated with my 3 year old about putting on socks for the zillionth time this morning. Now every content brief feels like a spa retreat.

I set up an email rule to stop marketing emails overwhelming my inbox this month. It seems to be working! I'll still need to check the folder every now and again but this keeps me focused and calm while I am at my desk.

Guys—I’m still here! I’m editing, bit by bit…but also working and parenting full time. I need more hours in the day! Or less #adhd? Please enjoy a candid photo that my four year old took of me in the midst of mom duties (taking two boys to swim class). #workingparent #amediting #yafantasy

Today, I did a bit of working from a cafe with Asa in the buggy having a nap. I wasn't expecting all of the "you got this mumma" chats that just came my way. It's nice to know the sisterhood actually exists 💪

Things that suck about being a #WorkingParent: not being able to go to things like a Halloween parade at school.
But today I’m thankful that #VovoTina and #ElPaio are going to said parade to take pictures and #BeanieBaby will have someone there to see her 🥹🥹🥹

Step 1 - Time for nap time!
Step 2 - Tries to get some work done during nap.

Tonight I do the laundry, loads of dirty clothes and whites
The rumble of the wringer washer punctuates my nights
Then I wash the kitchen floor of all the mud my kids have tracked
I'm a Working Parent and my patience is taxed.
