Some nights it’s really hard to deal with my 4 year old and 6 month old on top of working (more than) 40 hours, cooking, cleaning and getting life done. I don’t know how anyone stays fully engaged in the minutiae of life with small kids – it’s hard!

It’s so hard to do it all. Give yourself the gift of letting it go and know that tomorrow is a new day. It’s okay to ask for help. We all need it ! Sending you wishes for a peaceful holiday season! Thank you for all the service you provide your readers !

My 8 year old has a major attitude problem and my 6 year old is queen of pickiness, whining, and tantrum-omg! Yes, 6 years old, in first grade. She has resorted back to being a toddler for the time being. My 8 month old is sweet as pie but up a lot at night so the exhaustion coupled with the other 2 is not a good combo! Did I mention we have had one kind of illness or another since the week before thanksgiving?!?! I about lost my ever living mind When the 6 year old woke up with pink eye yesterday! That would be the 5th type of illness going around our house in the last 6ish weeks? I keep telling myself this is an off year and next year will be much much better! Right?! Hang in there momma!!!! I’m sure you’re doing the best you can. Hugs to you!!!!

You’re truly an inspiration. I don’t know how you work full-time in a management position, run a blog, exercise daily and feed your family homemade meals. Seriously super mom status!

I think people tend to forget about the tough parts of parenting a toddler. I appreciate your honesty!

The holidays can Try anyone’s patience, we are all trying to do too much with too little time. Don’t be too tough on yourself!
