What I'm telling my friends in 2021 about getting together... . "I'll have to get back to you on that. I never know what the day brings with kids&moods.Kind of in hibernation study and write mode. Gotta get this book finished asap and launch some income making stuff like astrology, light work, virtual/private/small dance &/or preschool. Hurrying to get ahead and published cause I know once I go back to work I risk losing my inspiration. 😭 I'm treating it like a job/school right now and very seriously to the point of being ok with shutdowns and sacrificing a social life for timebeing. Also we have to move in a couple months so packing up house in organized manner so unpacking isn't so stressful in a new place. Lots going on. Might rent temporarily til we can get better credit and more saved up to buy in a nicer area. I dunno. Leaving it up to universe and trying to go with the flow for once (remember how anal I used to be?!)... we could do a video chat while I do this or I could schedule a tentative in a couple weeks when I'm most likely ovulating and on a manic high and wanting to socialize vs full moon/pms/mercury retrograde & feeling low/cranky/tired? I'm starting to realize a woman's cycle is a lot like bi polar. 🤣Ups and downs which is why we need to go into our huts. I would love to chat at least this week it's actually perfect time for woman bonding! Or yeah if weather gets nicer maybe we can take a walk or something. I think it's also cold af for baby so we haven't even been doing that much recently. Just short spurts in backyard and ellie is so unpredictable with her moods still I can never stick to a time. Ugh sorry 2 kids has kind of turned me into a bad friend. :-/ plus with trying to work it out with scott... constant unlearning practice. I know writing isn't most peeps' preferred communication style or love language though it's mine and I wanna meet in the middle as much as possible because I value your friendship so lmk what you're open to. I'm prioritizing play dates now so at least girls can get socialization but adult chat would be awesome if and when doable!" . Or something like that. . #motherhooduncensored #truefriendships #growthmind (at Portland, Oregon) https://www.instagram.com/p/CMs_lQkFH4L/?igshid=1jz0zfs6moh4m

Guesswork who’s getting in between us today?! Lol SLEEP! 😂😂😂 ⠀ _________________⠀ It’s been a long time since I’ve had a good nights sleep. I don’t even think I know what it feels like to really have a full 8hrs. Haha but sometimes you just need that extra boost to get that rest in instead of that extra boost to stay up.⠀ ⠀ Sleep is for recovery & I forget that sometimes! ⠀ ⠀ What’s your favourite boost you use to get a good nights sleep?⠀ . . . . . ⠀ #motherhoodtruths #motherhoodlife #motherhoodisdarling #motherhoodblogger #motherhoodbliss #mommyhoodrocks #motherhooduncensored #motherhood_squares #mommyandmeday #realmotherhood #motherhoodalive #mommybloggers #motherhood #motherhoodmoments #honestlymothering #motherhoodlens #momsofinsta #momswithcameras #babyboy #cutebabyclub #cutebabyboy (at Toronto, C•a•n•a•d•a) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCbWYyrFIM7/?igshid=1lbwek0ihy0ic

Higher and higher

Today, I jumped.  Not metaphorically, but physically.  It had been a long time since my feet had left the ground together and it was weird.  Jumping over a tiny, thin piece of plastic has never been more difficult for me both my mind and body.  My boobs are four times the size they used to be, my stamina is non existent, and I can barely stand to watch myself in the mirror because I am still not comfortable with my appearance.

Getting your body back after having a baby is hard.  I knew it would be rough, especially because I was so terrified to work out when she was inside of me; but I did not know how discouraging it would be.  I didn't know I would feel this disgusting trying to squeeze into 4 pairs of workout leggings before reverting back to the same pair I wore yesterday.  I did not know that with every small hop my bladder would not be its old, reliable self.

I decided last night that today had to be a turning point in many aspects.  I stayed up all night staring at pictures of my beautiful girl reminding myself that I’m not just going to get by anymore.  Those 15 minutes on the stair master need to be faster and those new dishes at work have got to be better.  I’ve always been very hard on myself but its a whole new feeling wanting to make this small human proud.  I want to inspire her by showing her just how rewarding and magical life can be when you give it your all.

Jumping, even over a plastic rope, can be more daunting than we ever imagined it to be.  Changing careers, moving to a new city, trying out a new social group, or teaching yourself something you never thought you would be able to do...all these things require you to jump.  Finding the courage can be difficult, and the path long, but reaching new heights is what life should be all about.  Growth is impossible without a little faith.  Life without growth is stagnant and quite frankly sounds pretty boring to me.

I hope I can continue to climb mountains both inside myself and out in the physical world as well.  I hope when the time comes and you’re finally ready, you have everything you need inside you to jump.  I hope you get higher than you ever expected in this life, and I hope the view is better than anything you could have ever imagined.

An Introduction

Hello everyone, thank you for taking the time to visit. When I became pregnant with my daughter I went to the internet for advice. I started reading blogs, and watching youtube channels about pregnancy and motherhood. I did find information I was looking for as far as information went, but every blog, vlog and instagram account I followed were women living lives I feel I couldn’t relate to. I love following the bloggers who are living what looks to be the “picture perfect” life. The house is always clean, dinner is always ready when their husband gets home,  they do these videos on whatever “haul” they did that week and they get to go on family outings every weekend. I love it, they are addicting, and I can't get enough of them. They seem to be living the dream life but for me, and I think some others as well, that life just isn’t my reality.

My reality is that my husband is the only source of income for our family of 3. I stay home with our daughter because it cheaper for me to stay home with her than it would be to send her to daycare, so I could go to work, to pay for her to be at daycare. That just didn’t make sense for my family. My husband works fulltime at a drug/convenience store and works 1 day a week at the postoffice. We live comfortably, we are not going without. We always have a full pantry, fridge and freezer. All of our bills are paid, we have a little extra money to go out to eat on occasion but we are living on a budget. We live comfortably but not lavishly.  We don’t live in a fancy house or drive a fancy car. We don’t always have extra money to spend on a weekend getaway, shopping spree, or a trip to the nail salon. We buy the majority of our things second hand stores and there is nothing wrong with it. We live a happy life, we appreciate the simple things. Occasional walks around the neighborhood, sunday afternoons spent at the lake. Fighting over who gets to push the buggy at the grocery store because that means playing with the baby. All the moments we share, brings us more joy than all the money in the world ever could.

I wanted to start a blog with an uncensored look into my motherhood journey. My life is not what I call insta-glamourous. My makeup isn’t done, my hair stays in a bun 99% of the time. My house isn’t always clean and there is dishes in the sink and laundry to be washed. I am not the perfect mom or perfect wife,and I don’t claim to be. There is no “correct’ way to raise a child. I don’t always know what I’m doing, I don’t always have all the answers. I am just doing what feels right.

So why the name Kinda “Crunchy” Momma?

I wasn’t raised on all natural and organic foods. We ate processed food galore, was almost a daily thing and soda was drank all day every day. There was a pill in the cabinet for any problem you could have. I got my first job at a locally owned organic food store.  Thats where I met all the crunchy granola people that I thought were crazy. I had never heard of natural medicines, amber teething necklaces or all the things coconut oil could be used for. Now I don’t know if they just ended up rubbing off on me after working there for over a year but now a lot of the decisions I’ve made have actually turned out to be kinda “crunchy’. From having an out of hospital birth which made my family think I was crazy. I also decided to breastfeed, and use cloth diapers. Both of which have saved us money because we haven’t needed to buy formula or bottles, or buy diapers every week.  As it’s turning out, saving money and being “crunchy” go hand in hand.  I am slowly trying to find ways to save money and keep my family healthy. From doing things like sewing my own cloth diaper covers and making natural bug spray from essential oils to keep the chemicals away from my baby girl. These are some of the things I’ll be blogging about.

*I have never had a blog before so forgive me for any newbie mistakes that might happen. My posts will likely not be grammatically correct, so please do not criticize.  I won’t be following a strict post schedule but I’m going to try to update once a week. Could be various topics but all based around motherhood and my experiences.  I am looking forward to sharing this journey with you and I hope that you enjoy reading about it.

Pretty much. This is pretty much what motherhood looks like for me on a regular basis - sitting on the floor, kids begging to sit on me then immediately running away, me in my ripped jeans, almost certainly laughing. We laugh a LOT these days with these wild, chatty, and clever boys. (Huge thanks to @chantellewattphoto for capturing us so perfectly.) . I found out I was pregnant on Mother's Day 3 years ago. Despite what then felt like a lifetime of waiting and trying to have a baby, I took the plunge and took a pregnancy test alone at home on Mother's Day. It could have ended badly, but I had a feeling it wouldn't. Call it mother's intuition? . Motherhood is NOTHING like I expected it to be before I had kids. I have laughed at myself so many times for doing all the things I said I'd never do, like letting my kids watch TV. I turned out to be a much more laid back mom in some areas, and waaaaaaay more uptight than I anticipated in others. . I've surprised myself with my own physical strength over these past 3 years, and I haven't worked out more than a handful of times in that time period. . I've also become much softer - physically and emotionally - and I've learned to accept and love that about myself, too (most days). . I've figured out that I don't make a very good stay at home mom, that I lose my patience more quickly when I'm not working outside of our home, and that I'm a way better mom when I'm pursuing my career dreams. I don't feel as guilty about all of that anymore, but it took a lot of time to get here. . Reflecting on who I was, who I have come to be, and who I am becoming as a woman, wife and mom is something I try to do often because I always end up surprised at what I learn about myself. . How has motherhood surprised you? . . . . #theeverygirlathome #inmydomaine #smpliving #bhgcelebrate #lcdotcomloves #cdnblogsquad #torontoblogger #canadianblogger #motherhooduprising #motherhooduncensored #twinmama #momofboys #motherhoodalive #momliferocks #mothersdayweekend (at Cobourg, Ontario)

Tuesday morning frame of mind 😊☕️📺 #mylife #outcastmoms #motherhooduncensored #thegoldengirls #ilovecoffee #ineedcoffee #tuesdaymorning

[notsosupermom-vs-society]

Today, I'm thankful for the love and support from my family and friends. I'm thankful that this year has had more ups than downs. I'm thankful for my children and their sweet, sticky, and fleeting snuggles. I'm thankful that I've been provided so many opportunities to grow, both mentally and in my business ventures. What are you thankful for? . . . . . #EverettADay #thanksgiving #pumpkinpie #givethanks #turkeyday #thankful #opportunity #love #reallife #scarymommy #parent #momlife #motherhooduncensored #photography https://www.instagram.com/p/B5afyY6gPF7/?igshid=f3blkpack705

AWESOME words 💝💝💝 Regrann from @chrisselle_ - You will not be everyone’s cup of tea, and that is okay. ☕️ I find that especially since becoming a Mum, I have tried harder than ever to be accepted/approved of by everyone. But the truth is, as long as your babies are looked after and happy and YOU are looked after and happy, then your cup is full - and that’s the only cup you need to worry about. You won’t be everyone’s cup of tea - and not everyone will be yours, that’s okay. Find your tribe, find your village, find your tea ☕️💕 . . #pbloggersuk #pblogger #momblog #motherhoodandmentalhealth #mhchat #mentalhealth #tea #instaquote #notyourcupoftea #notmycupoftea #pressure #mamagotthis #camermama #motherhoodrising #motherhoodmh #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodunfiltered #motherhoodquotes #motherhooduncensored #pnd #postpartum - #regrann (at Blackburn, West Lothian)

Beautiful mommy & me lifestyle, newborn session, my favorite type of session to shoot. Being in the comfort of your own home makes for a super relaxed environment, and you get the opportunity to capture sweet snuggles like this. LOVE.
