Hello from the other side. That Adele, she really knows what it feels like. Almost like we’ve been stuck behind a moving wall, pressed up high on our tippy-toes trying to get a glimpse of what life has in store for us on the other side. But sometimes that’s just how it goes – we’re…

Mom Jean Confessions: Raising Good Humans
Last night after we got both kids down to sleep, instead of doing our usual Netflix combo of “1 hour drama + 30 min comedy,” we had a hard discussion. A discussion about our little Cha Cha. You see, we’ve always known she was strong willed, extremely independent, and slightly feral. Three things we agreed…
Mom Jean Confessions: An Honest Q&A with Four Families in Quarantine
Three months ago, if you would have asked me what we’d be doing this weekend, I would have excitedly said “Celebrating our 11th wedding anniversary, and my best friend’s coming to visit from Chile!” We would have probably dropped the kids off for the weekend with family, and tried to sneak away for a mini…
Mom Jean Confessions: Why I Needed Social Distancing
Well we survived week one of quarantine aka social distancing from the Coronavirus, and yet there’s still so much uncertainty happening all around us, all across the world.

The last few months of the year were like a blur for us. Between work, holidays, birthdays, and kid’s school activities out the wazoo – it honestly felt like a nonstop merry-go-round that left us all a bit dizzy at the end. The hubs and I finally sat down on the couch New Year’s Day,…

Mom Jean Confessions: Why I’m Proud To Have A Strong Willed Child
It’s been nearly a year since I wrote about this topic, and my how things have changed. If we thought Cha Cha was strong willed before, then we absolutely, without a doubt, and whole heartedly know this to be true now. But here’s the thing. At what point did “strong-willed” become synonymous with “bad-behaved,” or…
Mom Jean Confessions: Dear Younger Self, Be Grateful
A couple of days ago, a friend of mine shared a meme in her Facebook group & it’s stuck with me ever since. I scrolled past it at first, until literally the next post on my feed was an article shared by my sister-in-law. All I had to do was read the title “Neuroscience Reveals…
