Life and times of a mom of two cats and one human 🐈👶

Was just talking to my almost 3 year old who literally interrupted me and said "What's that noise? Oh it's mama."🫠🫠

One thing I never considered before having a kid is how often you find stickers around the house. Including on the cats.

Toddler: Mama touch this.
Me: Touch what?
Toddler: Touch my bellybutton.
Me: I don’t want to touch your bellybutton.
Toddler: TOUCH MY BELLYBUTTON !!!! 😡😡😡

It’s 6:40am and unprompted, my two year old drops something accidentally and goes “oh sh*t”.

True best friendship is texting to reminisce about the delicious sandwich you shared a couple of days ago.

When you jolt out of bed at 6:30am thinking you’re late for work.. but it’s actually Saturday..

Having a toddler is weird. EDM dance party at 7:30am on a Sunday? Pre-coffee or not, all I know is when your baby girl asks you to dance, you dance.

Have you ever been so forgetful that you say to yourself “I need to write that on my to-do list” and then in the amount of time it takes you to get out your to-do list, you’ve already forgotten the thing you were supposed to remember? Asking for a friend.

It’s 8:30am. My toddler is at her grandparent’s house. It’s quite. I am enjoying drinking my coffee while laying on the couch. My cat jumps up for snuggles. I am now wearing my coffee.

I never thought I’d be in a place where watching videos which teach you how to patch drywall holes would be a source of enjoyment but here we are.

Tonight my toddler insisted on wearing her bucket hat to bed.

Not a nice view from your backyard...🤞

Parent talking to other parent: So what Ms. Rachel song is stuck in your head today?

Finding tiny rubber ducks hidden in random spots around the house perfectly sums up what it’s like to have a toddler.

[Shelbs @_JuniperBerries]

I just watched my toddler empty out her laundry bin, collect all the dirty socks she could find, then come over and try to fit them all on my feet. This is parenthood, my friends.

Frustration: The feeling you get when you sneeze right after applying waterproof mascara.

Woke up to rolling on a hard cat toy in my bed.. Thanks Geralt (cat).

[Shelbs @_JuniperBerries]

Without me noticing, my toddler stole an onion out of the cupboard, peeled it, then ate it like an apple.. Oh did I mention that wasn’t the first time?

[Shelbs @_JuniperBerries]

A few days ago my toddler hurt her foot so she screamed and then sat in her doll stroller to be pushed around. Already a drama queen.

When your toddler and husband are calling out to find you when you’re hiding so that you can eat a cookie in peace.
