Feature Friday: The Bad Mother Video Q+A
You know you’re going to love this one, based on the title alone. The Bad Mother is a feature film in the making. It’s not quite finished yet and the creators, makers, hustlers and creative masterminds behind and in front of the scenes … need our help to do it. After watching the trailer, you’ll understand why this flm needs to get finished. As you wipe tears of laughter from your face.
I had this grand idea to do a recorded Google Chat Q+A with the creators based on that one time I recorded a hands-free breast pumping bra review. Technical difficulties aside, we figured out how to record our little G-chat and you can learn more about the project and why they need our help after the jump!
Throwback Thursday: Is Self-Care For Moms Unrealistic? Selfish? NO.

I found this short post I wrote on January 1 2012 . Seems so long ago, so much has happened since then. Man, I was deep in the fog back then. Fun to read and see that the old saying is true. ‘When you’re going through hell…..keep going.’ I did, I am here and I am committed to loving ME more deeply every day. Happy Thursday everyone. Love Yourself.
ON HYPNOBIRTHING, SLEEP, MOM-GUILT AND SELF-TRUST
The day I had my first child, Willow (4), was the day I stopped sleeping for a long, long time. I know that my situation isn’t unique and I know that it also isn’t shared by everyone but what I know most of all is that TODAY I am over the MOON! A few weeks ago, while we were on vacation, BOTH of our kids officially began sleeping through the night. To be honest, it took about a week for my body to adjust to it. I guess I was in such a state of anxiety during sleep mode that my body forgot how to truly relax and really SLEEP.
When I had Willow, everything changed for me. Before her, I was a strong, independent, self aware, focused woman of 36. The moment she was born I became anxious, second-guessed almost everything. I became insecure about my mothering style and choices.

It’s been a couple of months or so since #RealMamaLife was born. In that time I’ve gotten to know some of my IG mama friends a bit better and have discovered some new bloggers to add into my reader. I’m honoured by all of the contributions that trickle in; whether by way of photo sharing on Instagram or everyday stories and pictures on your blogs!
I’ve decided to do a monthly roundup to highlight my favourite posts and pictures shared because I’m really loving what #RealMamaLife is starting to become. It’s honest. It’s inspiring. It’s messy. It’s silly. It’s raw and it’s sweet…
