“You don’t look old mommy. Your face isn’t all crumbly looking. If you looked wrinkly like an elephant’s butt, I would tell you.””
Were you born sometime in the early 80's through the late 90's and did you birth a child? You did? Sweet! You are a millennial mommy! Why is this so awesome? It's because you are part an elite group of woman who are considered to be highly influential and highly connected. And check out this crazy fact...about HALF of all millennial mothers are unmarried. Not only are you working, parenting, and surviving... many of you are doing it while single, or at least (sometimes) single. U-N-S-T-O-P-P-A-B-L-E.
But here's the catch. Parenting doesn't come with a how-to guide, and even if it did, I am positive my son wouldn't have fit into any of the categories. So, I do the best I can. I try to laugh at myself often. I try to make better mistakes tomorrow than I am making today. And I am learning a TON along the way. I've decided to share my roller-coaster parenting life with you in hopes that I can play a small part in helping to build a better generation of mommies. If you don't like what I have to say, that's ok! You can at least learn what not to do and laugh at me for my mistakes. It always feels good to be doing better than somebody.

Most Gen Z'ers spend more time on their personal devices than actually watching TV, a far cry from their parents and grandparents ... surprising? It wasn't to me. Needless to say, I am raising a Gen Z'er, and if you think the discussion of 'when do I get to have my own phone' hasn't come up yet with a 6-year-old... think again.
