Do you think of a worn out woman driving a mini van, hair pulled back into a ponytail while modeling this years style of yoga pants? Do you imagine this woman having accomplished all the house work, take the kids to and from school, and have dinner on the table by the time her husband returns home from work? Do you imagine her doing all sorts of crafty things and couponing just to save a few bucks?
Well, then you haven't met me. The woman I described is the stereotype.
I am probably the laziest mom in the world, despite what you might find on my Pinterest account. I also only own one pair of yoga pants.
I want to beat the stereotype. Why? Because I'm tired of feeling guilty for not being that mom. Just because you become a mom does not mean you have to suddenly change who you are to meet the way society sees you.
I'm twenty-four, married and I have two fantastic children. My hair is short and at a failed attempt to dye it bright red, currently a lovely shade of pink. I like skinny jeans because I have a nice ass and yes I love to flaunt it.
I also don't worship DR. Phil or watch soap operas or whatever women like to do. Instead I enjoy a variety of things... most of which can be found on Netflix. In fact, I probably spend a majority of my spare time binge watching something on Netflix (remember when I claimed to be lazy?).
I've been a stay at home mom (sahm) since April 2012, a month before my oldest was born. In the last almost three years I have only accomplished keeping a tiny human alive and created another mini-me.
My house is more often than not unorganized (ok, not sure it's ever been organized) and messy. Cleaning is probably my least favorite thing to do. Especially dishes. Yuck! I hate the smell, I hate the wet, and I hate how it gets water all over the floor despite my best efforts. See? Even when I clean I make a mess.
Welcome to my world. I love it.
