Meet Exhausted Mama

Hi. I’m Carolyn. I’m a mother of two girls and a night owl. The two do not mix. But with coffee in hand, I’m able to wake up in the morning and do all the mom things that need to be done and get my work done, at least some of the time, at night. Sometimes I just fall asleep with my girls, an exhausted mama.
