Sensory overload and feeling touched out are two real th...

When you have a baby, many things change, including your body. Perhaps you don't recognize yourself in the mirror... your belly is squishy, your breasts have changed, and you might find stretchmarks or loose skin that wasn't there before giving birth.

Oh toddlerhood. Such a fun time, isn’t it? Being the preferred parent is exhausting. If you own this title, I bet you cringe at these three torturous words: "MOMMY DO IT!" If you're the "number two parent," then I imagine you're equally tormented because you feel like sh!t that you can't do anything right. Our littles are not yet emotionally sophisticated creatures.
