Mom's Sh*t List (And Yes, I Lost Mine While Making It) 😂💜

So… I made a sign.

Well, tried to make a sign.

It says "Mom's Sh*t List." You know, the house rules. The things every mom thinks but doesn't always say out loud. "Don't make me turn this car around." "I'm not a vending machine." "Ask your father." That energy.

I was feeling inspired. On a whim, I sat down to design it — maybe an hour total to design, cut, and weed. Everything was flowing. I was in my zone. This was gonna be fire.

Then… reality hit.

The Scene:

Oscar (our dog, for the newbies) decided he was going to steal Zion's ball. You know how it goes. Dog has ball. Three-year-old does NOT have ball. Three-year-old loses. Entire. Mind.

Zi is screaming. Oscar is trotting. I'm trying to apply the transfer to the glass frame because I'm THIS close to being done.

And then… they bumped me.

Just a little bump. But enough.

The transfer applied to the WRONG AREA. Off-center. Crooked. Ruined.

And guess who lost her shit?

THIS MOM. 😂

The Truth:

Here's what I learned in that moment:

1. Perfection is a lie. That sign? It's not perfect. But it's real. And honestly? Real sells. Real connects. Real is what this whole brand is built on.

2. The kids always win. You can plan your craft time. You can schedule your "creative hour." But if a three-year-old and a dog decide chaos is happening… chaos is happening.

3. Sometimes the mistake IS the message. I made a sign about mom losing her shit. Then I lost my shit making it. That's not a failure — that's content. That's life. That's the whole damn brand.

   
   

What's Next:

Am I gonna remake it? Already did. Am I gonna show you the crooked version first? Considering I lost MY SHIT and didnt even think to take a photo, no, lol.

Because here's the thing: if you're out here trying to build something — a business, a blog, a life — while raising humans… you know. You KNOW.

The mess is part of the story. The mistakes are part of the magic. And sometimes, the thing you're making is a mirror for exactly what you're living through.

A Question for You:

What's your "Mom's Sh*t List" moment this week? The thing that made you lose it, even though you swore you wouldn't?

Drop it in the comments. Let's normalize the mess together. 💜

Love Always,
