Hi everyone. I know I usually don’t write much about my personal life on here but I think I’m going to start to every once in awhile. I think it’s important for you to meet the person behind the work. As you know, I am a mother of a 2 year old and a 1 year old. Cedi, my 2 year old has officially hit the terrible 2’s! It can be so FRUSTRATING! She is being sassy and won’t listen to me. Unfortunately, (and fortunately) she is just so smart that she picks up on things immediately and knows just what to say. Last night she put her hands on each of my cheeks and said, “Look at me when I am talking to you!” Hilarious, but at the same time…frustrating… I’m sure we’ll get through it and I’m not even sure how to express the true frustration I’m feeling…

I am on the other side of that frustrating coin and rejoicing at my kiddo's approach to three. You'll get through it, but it is emotionally stressful. I am not gonna lie. I'm no expert, but I found that detaching myself and speaking to my screaming brat of a child softly but firmly kept me from going over the edge with her. Screaming into a pillow helped too. You'll survive and never again take anyone's BS.
Oh I remember those days well. It goes fast, but not fast enough on some days. You'll get through it. 🙂
