Changed my top for the evening, because the one I was wearing was stained. This one is stained too, but I somehow under-packed and ran out of clean shirts... #howdidthathappen #chronicoverpacker #hotmessmama #siliconeteethingnecklacegameisstrongtho

Good morning ☀️ my time management is either on point or I think I can do 30 min of stuff in 10 🤪 this morning was the latter. I was the hot mess mom this morning dropping my daughter off at school in my pajamas 🤷♀️ she was only a little late and I finally got my shower. Hope your morning is going better than mine 😀 #linkinmybio #hotmessmama #cutie https://www.instagram.com/p/ChSPixRuT3K/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Drowning..
Why is it that motherhood has made me feel like Im drowning? I try my hardest to stay a float and keep up with everything that is needed but can't. Between chores, kids, school, work and so on. There's not enough time in a day to achieve the goals I have on a daily basis.
When do you feel as if you're floating and enjoying it? This is something I would like to experience during these young stages of my children not when they are grown and the stress gets a little less. Or is that the only way it works.... to me I don't have a clue what I am doing. I am just trying to be the best I can be for my kids and find some relief.
I saw in a TikTok, ha yes I am a mom innocently addicted to TikTok, that you don't want to just try to be your best because it can still affect your children; but you want to be so much more than just your best.
So really where do we as mother's finally feel balanced and feel as if they are being better than their best for their kids....Because to me that all seems a bit out of reach.
Who am I?
I wanted to start out with a little intro on me, I mean who am I to be blogging about motherhood? Well I go by the name of Kay and I am a stay at home mother to my two wonderful children. I have one of each my girl is the oldest and she is 4, my son is age 2. I am engaged but my daughter is not his biologically. Her dad is still involved and we currently share custody of her. I mostly wanted to start this blog to just feel a bit normal. I always feel as if my situation is not normal or ashamed to talk about how I’m not with her father; but the truth is that this situation is way more normal in today’s age then people acknowledge or talk about. I wanted to just start documenting my crazy complicated life so others know they’re not alone. Hint the name hot mess mama, so why not share my experiences. So let’s start this journey together!
Newbie
Today is my first day opening my hot mess mama blog. I am here mostly to just get some things off my chest, but also to maybe help some other mamas know that they are not alone feeling like a hot mess! We all as mothers have our moments where we weren't the best or where maybe we need some support from someone outside our "groups". Motherhood is hard and none of us are perfect. We simply are trying to do our best without fucking up our little ones; excuse my language as this mama has a potty mouth. I want this to be a safe space where people can, (maybe), connect with some of my experiences. I'm new at blogging so bare with me as this is a learning experience for myself; but also a big leap in myself to try something new and put my stories out there. Throughout this blog I will talk about really anything and everything in my life pertaining to the main purpose of this blog. I'm here to just tell the honest truth of behind the scenes and get over the stigma of "fitting in" in motherhood. Well I want to do a little Introductory post next to inform a little about myself and family life. I'm excited to begin this new journey, hopefully, with other hot mess mamas!
