Falling Behind and Can't Catch Up!!!

I have spoken with so many Mothers over the last few days that have all shared the same thing with me..."I can't seem to keep the house clean", or "I can't keep up with the day to day stuff!"

I too have been struggling with this. The cold, gray days of fall do not help,even though I love this kind of weather. (as long as I do not have to be out in it...which is impossible with carpools, errands,etc..) I LOVE being a Mommy, even on the most frustrating of days, I still count my blessings; but being a Mother is the TOUGHEST job out there. That's right I said TOUGHEST, and you truly do not get it until you become a Mother. Before I had children, I was an organized, driven professional who had no problem balancing all of the work commitments with running a household. Even when I had my first child, I was still able to balance work, household stuff and give my baby the quality time that she deserved. We were in playgroups, mommy and me classes, etc... and I still felt like it was all balanced. Then we expanded our family and baby #2 was born. In that year we had a newborn, a toddler starting preschool, playgroups, classes, work, a household to run, house to clean, toys to pick up, diapers, diapers, diapers, pull-ups, pull-ups, potty-training, transitioning toddler from a crib to a bed................Sound familiar?

My point is that without the other Mommy friends I have, the everyday "life events" that we have to "survive" through would have been A LOT tougher. So on the days that we feel we are alone and "no one else is going through this" or "the other Mommies seem to be handing stuff a lot better that me", talk to your Mommy friends and share your feelings because chances are, they are feeling JUST LIKE YOU! We all need a little help to be supermom (or at least feel like supermom!) :) By working together, we can!

The idea for this blog started a long time ago and for whatever reason, today felt like a good day to debut it! The purpose of this blog is to be that "Mommy friend" that you need on the toughest days!! Or the days you just cannot seem to get out of the house and are CRAVING ADULT CONVERSATION!!! A spot where you can come to share and find great, creative ideas, delicious healthy-but-quick recipes for your family, design/decorating ideas on a budget (given the current economy),etc... A place for Mommies to design, create and play to make all of our lives easier!

So, I will open it up to you blog world...what are the things that you would like to see in a blog that would make "Mommy Life" easier for you?
