Messy Buns and Raw Motherhood

03/15/2026

Couldn’t be anymore true!

Wanna know who’s really there for you?

Have a baby.

Nothing clears a room faster than motherhood.

The same people who swore they’d always be around suddenly get real busy.
The “I’ll help anytime!” turns into silence.
The village everyone talks about magically disappears.

Because babies don’t just change your life.

They expose people.

Who was only around when life was easy.
Who loved the fun version of you but not the tired, touched-out mom version.
Who couldn’t be bothered once things stopped being convenient.

But the ones who do show up?

Those are the real ones.

The ones who hold the baby so you can breathe.
Who check on you, not just the baby.
Who don’t disappear when life gets messy.

Motherhood has a funny way of doing that.

It doesn’t just give you a baby.

It shows you exactly who the hell was never really in your corner to begin with.

Reminder: it doesn’t have to be gourmet every night.

Sometimes mac & cheese is the win. Kids fed, mama survived. ✔️

Happy Sunday mommas!

Only give yourself 3 simple tasks a day! That’s it. Do not overcomplicate it. You are human too!!! 🙏🏻💞

Praise the Lord.

Motherhood confession:

The hardest part isn’t the tantrums.

It’s the silence after they’re asleep.

When your brain replays the sharp tone.

The rushed moment.

The look on their face when you were overstimulated and they just needed you.

And you’re standing in their doorway thinking about waking them up just to whisper,
“I’m sorry. I’ll do better tomorrow.”

No one talks about this part.

Loving them fiercely… while still working on yourself.
If you’ve ever ended the day with guilt and a promise to be softer tomorrow, you’re not alone.

I see you, Mommas.

Today’s message at church was a powerful reminder that Jesus is the healer of all things.

-our hearts
-our bodies
-our homes
-our motherhood journeys
-and even the wounds we don’t talk about.

No matter what season you’re in, healing is possible through Him. 🤍

Start at 39.30 minutes to begin the great message.

Hey mamas 🤍

I want to start sharing more REAL stories on this page, the unfiltered, honest, raw parts of motherhood that don’t always make it onto highlight reels.

I’d love to interview a few moms who are willing to share:
- Your struggles
- Your wins
- The moments that changed you
- The things no one warned you about

If you’ve ever felt alone in your journey, this is exactly why I want to do this — so other moms don’t have to feel that way.

If you’re interested, comment below or send me a DM. Let’s tell your story 💝

Drop one thing that made you proud today — big or small.

Let’s celebrate each other in the comments.🌷

New week. Same motherhood.

Before the love and chaos kicks in, answer this:

What’s one thing that would make this week feel 10% lighter?

More help?
Earlier bedtime?
Lower expectations?
A solo Target run?
Coffee in peace?

Drop it in the comments — sometimes naming it is the first step.

I’ll start: lowering my expectations of myself this week.

I put so much pressure on myself to be a “super mom” in every area.. patient, productive, present, organized and it always backfires. I end up completely drained, mentally and physically, and then I have nothing left to give.

I have to remind myself that I can’t pour into everyone else if I’m running on empty. I have to take care of me, too.

Way easier said than done… but I’m working on it. ❤️
