Okay, here’s the thing: Parenting is eff-ing hard. I had no idea how hard this job would be. Despite being over a decade in on kid #3, I feel like a floundering brand-new parent almost daily. (Some days are pretty good and I think, “Damn! I got this s%&t down!”) But on lots of days, I stare at the clock wondering, “How early IS too early to start drinking?”
I started writing about motherhood during the baby / toddler years, in the attempt to find humor in the boogery, poop-filled life that I lived back then. Now, I try to find humor in the chaotic, whack-a-mole game I’m playing of raising teens and a tween.
I hope to make my readers laugh and connect with other parents and writers. Join me, as we are all in this crazy exhausting blessed parenthood journey together.
Follow me on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads where I love to share more funny and/or inappropriate and/or sentimental parenting stuff! And order my book What Do I Want to Be When They Grow Up? (And Other Thoughts From a 40-Something Mom), available on Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, and Target.
Dear 21st SAHM,
I love the look of your site and your genuine sense of humor (the censoring is adorable). Sounds like we started blogging for about the same reasons. I look forward to reading more!

Enjoying your site! Just started blogging myself and found your blog after you shared a post of mine that went viral. Love the content-you are my type of mama!
