Fish Sticks and Chicken Nuggets

One cannot live on fish sticks and chicken nuggets alone… or can they?

A is currently putting this theory to test. When she just started eating food she ate everything I put in front of her, which was usually fruits and vegetables but now she has a true toddler diet. I feel bad because as a new mom I was guilty of judging moms of toddlers who only ate processed food. Now I am one of those moms. She prefers the salty breaded flavor of meat/fish over anything else. That’s not entirely true, if I offered cookies for dinner she eat that too.


Surprisingly this doesn’t keep me up at night, E does. I don’t have the energy to fight her right now. She doesn’t have any issues with her weight and is very healthy overall. This is simply a luxury of A’s toddler years and by the time she is in school (hopefully before then) she will eat what we eat for dinner.

Soul Searching

Don’t wish it was easier wish you were stronger…

This is the life I choose for myself. I can’t cry about hubby not being here and when he is complain that he’s not doing enough. I am tired all the time, but this is the life that I choose for myself. I have two beautiful daughters that love me and need me. I have a loving husband that provides for our family. I do not worry about bills. I am a very blessed woman in grand scope of things. It is easy to get bogged down in the “if only’s” and “why not’s” but I am trying to lift my head above the chaos of entertaining a toddler and nursing a newborn and appreciate my life for what it is. This is only a phase and it too shall pass.


Another mom of two who’s kids has the same spacing as A and E mentioned that she missed the phase I was in. Are you crazy!? Apparently it doesn’t get easier, just different.
