    Mother’s Day Guilt

    May 13, 2019 /

    For years, Mother’s Day brought on a sense of guilt for me. I knew the inevitable question of “What do you want to do today?” would be asked. What did I want to do?

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.
