Just a girl who loves cheap wine, trashy TV and her wonderful little family. Not always in that specific order, just most of the time.

Husband: You made jello! I didn’t even know we had vodka.
Me: There’s no vodka in the the jello. I got the sugar free kind for a fun snack for Finn.
Husband: So you made jello with no sugar and no vodka?
Me: Yes.
Husband: Oh... Kids really do ruin everything.

Now that Halloween is over…

Reasons my toddler had a meltdown today: he wanted to watch the original Grinch using our old DVD player, but I, being the completely unreasonable mother I am, refused to unpack all our Christmas stuff and find a DVD player to make it happen.

Shout out to my toddler who was sick for a week and not sleeping, then got me sick and decided diapers are a thing of past. And then pooped on the floor. Twice.

Today is my last day of maternity leave, so I’m going to enjoy every moment with my babies.

Just kidding, I’m ditching these fools with their grandma and going shopping.

Today a bunch of people who haven’t seen me since I was 9 months pregnant told me I look like I’ve lost weight. AND my toddler told me how smart I was and cheered for me after I counted to 20.

So yeah... it was a damn good day.

BOTH my kids slept in this morning, but don’t worry, my dog woke up early to puke everywhere so I didn’t get too much sleep today.

My toddler just asked when we are sending his baby brother back to his home.

Apparently we forgot to mention he wouldn’t be leaving when we brought him home.

I’m just impressed it took 9 months for him to try to get rid of the baby

Attempt # 85939 to potty train my toddler.

I’ve hidden all his diapers, covered the furniture in towels and stocked up on chocolate bribes for him and wine for me.

People keep talking about the pandemic babies who are overstimulated going out. I can deal with that
What I can’t deal with is my toddler who lost all his public places manners and now accuses everyone of farting and growls at people.

Waiting in queue to sign up for the Covid-19 vaccine feels like waiting to buy concert tickets back when we had concerts

Lucky number 8557!

My 2 yr old just brought me a pretend drink to cheers him. I asked what we were drinking and he said beer. After he got up and said “I need more beer”

Me too bud, me too.

Me: What do you want to see at the zoo tomorrow?

2 yr old: A GARBAGE TRUCK!

Me: I don’t think you’ll see a garbage truck there. Maybe a lion? Or a bear?

2: *starts crying* but I want to see garbage trucks

Went to be early last night and woke up to a spotless house. Naturally, I assumed someone broke in and did it. Then I found a cutting board with the towels, and knew even a stranger could find a better spot so it must’ve been my husband.

My husband told me he was debating what to get for my bday. Either a hotel room for just me so I can get away from the kids & relax. Or a rug for the living room
I love that man, but the fact he doesn’t know the obviously answer makes me question our entire relationship

Today my 2 yr old told me he had a surprise. I asked what it was as I put out my hand for it and he put it in my hand as he shouted, “It’s a Booger!”

And then he shoved his finger into his nose as he says, “I find more, mama”

Husband & I were talking about comedy shows that have 2 daughters & a son in the middle the boy is always so dumb
I joked it was like my life because my bro is the middle kid
My husband gets mad & says “guess that’s still ur life since you married me”
Forgot about his 2 sisters🤷🏼‍♀️

If I text you something funny and you reply with anything less than 5 HA’s I will assume you aren’t actually laughing and you’re a liar and I don’t want to be your friend anymore.
Hahahahahahah

While playing with my two-year-old I called him cowboy, and now he keeps calling me cowmama.

So he is officially out of the running to be my favourite child. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Does anyone else’s baby like to have All Star by @smashmouth sang to them as a lullaby when they are going to sleep, or are your babies all normal?
