Hello! I’m so excited to have my first [and hopefully not only reader] so hello husband, and hello to anyone else who stumbled upon my blog looking for actual world advice! While you won’t get makeup tips or sleep training advice, or shopping expertise, I hope you’ll get a few belly laughs sharing in my motherhood trauma and housewife missteps. Along the way, there may be a nugget or two of advice but know that they are in no way researched or proven!
If you are still reading, I am currently a mother of two. I have a 4 year old daughter, and a second born who is currently providing to be excellent birth control at the ripe age of 21 months. I am a working mama who picks hobbies up and down as often as dirty socks, but they usually revolve around cooking or baking, as I relieve a lot of my stress in the kitchen — Apologies to my mistreated stove, as many aggression has been taken out with a whisk in hand.
Here, you’ll find the random, sleep deprived thoughts of a disgruntled mother, who just wants every other mama out there to know — you’re not alone if you’re still considering selling your child on Etsy! I just beg you to remember including the overhead in the listing price — those diapers weren’t cheap! So, take solace in the fact that you aren’t alone, someone else is making the same (or worse) mistakes, and we all have those moments where we are crying alone in the pantry… oh that’s just me?
Here at the scattered pantry, you’ll also find a helping hand, because even though I can’t help you find time to shower or fold your laundry, the kitchen is my happy place, and I would love to share my meal plans, grocery lists, and recipes with whomever could benefit! Keep in mind, you won’t get Masterchef worthy dishes or six courses each night, but you will have dinners each night that will help you get the kids in bed by 7pm every night, because if you are anything like me, your biggest goal every day is to make it to bedtime with your sanity in tact… or at least in tow.
So draw up a bath, grab some chocolate, hit the subscribe button (if you can find it) and let’s dive into my disjointed thoughts!
XOXO
Jessica
P.S. disclaimer – neither of my two children are currently listed on Etsy.
Hello There!
I’m Jessica, a mama of two toddlers. I love my kids more than my own life, but I also have days where I consider putting them up for adoption even this late in the game (kidding…kind of). I wanted a place to write about my toddler trauma, but also to be a respite for mamas who might be going through the same thing. Someone else to bring a sense of humor to daily struggles they may be experiencing as well. So, if you too are a tired mama, then to you, I say: Welcome to my scattered pantry.
