Today I’m taking a leaf out of Colleen’s book.
If you’re a mother, you’ve probably grappled with expectations vs. reality quite often. You’ve probably been way too hard on yourself, and you’ve made some mistakes.
You’ve beat yourself up (stop it! right now.) and you’ve wondered “how will I make it until dinner time?”
And you’ve probably told yourself a few lies to make it through the day…
Mom Lies I Tell Myself
Yep, this dry shampoo works just like the real stuff
Of course my feelings aren’t hurt that baby’s first word was “Iggy” (our dog) instead of “mama”
I love breastfeeding a toddler!
These will be the sippy cups that Bazooka actually drinks from
This concealer totally covers up my under-eye circles
I’ll do an at-home workout tonight while watching the baby
Paying for daycare is 100% worth it
We’ll sleep in this weekend.
Today I will stop cursing in front of the baby
It’s ok, we’ll take the dog on a nice, long walk tonight
I’ll drink just one small glass of wine
[linking up for thinking out loud today]
Haha! Just a little fib! You do your best and that has to be good enough!! I don’t even have kids and I totally tell myself that dry shampoo one 🙂
Oh, yeah, the dry shampoo happened pre-baby, but now I think I use it more than I actually wash my hair! Shhh, don’t tell anybody! 😉

“I’ll do an at-home workout tonight while watching the baby” Yes!! I think you read my mind on many of these! Parenting is a constant reminder of the fact that we can’t do it all and that’s totally ok!! 🙂
Haha. You’d think by now I’d realize I cant do it all, but I still need those reminders…and wine. Always wine. 🙂

Haha! At least you are try to stay positive!
Always! 🙂

It’s really ok. They will be grown and gone sooner than you think. Then you will have lots of time. You will wish they were little again. I miss my little girl so much.
Awww, you miss me ❤️

Hahah these are the best! Especially, “I LOVE breastfeeding a toddler.” I’m weaning mine because I’m pregnant and it’s been rough, so I almost prefer the whole being kicked in the face/carrying 25+ pounds of biting child while nursing…
Oh, man, I can only imagine how tough it is being pregnant AND weaning. Good luck! I’ll be pulling for you. 🙂

YES YES YES…i acutally just bought a heavier under eye concealer 🙂 only that and mascara with quick b lush is my makeup these days 🙂
Glad you could relate to these, Sarah! I think I need to buy a higher quality concealer, lol. That sounds like my makeup routine, too.

LOL to the small glass of wine! It is Friday so maybe we can tell ourselves we will have just one large glass of wine 😉 Isn’t that the truth! Colleen is great – She has been having some killer “mom” posts lately.
Always wine!!!! Haha. Thanks for stopping, Becky. I am loving her mom posts lately, too. It’s a crazy life being a new mom.

Total truths (masked as lies)…love it 😉 Especially the dry shampoo thing….I think that stuff actually only really worked the first time I used it (and that was as an experiment). Every time I’ve actually needed it to work its magic, it has failed me. Thankfully, I’ve gotten pretty good at creating the “messy up-do” by default.
Hi Kim! Yes, I am becoming a pro at the messy up-do, too! Dry shampoos have been hit or miss with me; my latest one isn’t the greatest. Maybe that’s just a sign I need to do better! 😉
