Forget those Pinterest-perfect morning routines. Real parenting mornings are pure chaos. One kid cannot find socks, another suddenly remembers a homework assignment, and my coffee goes cold while I play referee.

This is not a peaceful morning routine with kids. It is survival. It is full-contact parenting before most people have even finished breakfast. Some days I feel like my morning routine could be classified as a funny parenting rant, but most days it just feels like mom life chaos.

The truth is, mornings with kids are exhausting but also universal. Every mom has a story about running late, forgetting lunches, or negotiating with tiny dictators who somehow move slower than Wi-Fi. That is why I share these rants: because real mom life deserves real stories.

What is your most chaotic morning moment? Share your story in the comments or tag #SwearingMomsStories so other exhausted parents can laugh, cry, or nod in agreement.

​Welcome to SwearingMoms.com, where we celebrate the raw, unfiltered reality of motherhood. In this blog post, we're diving into a topic that might raise a few eyebrows but is undeniably relevant: swearing. Contrary to popular belief, incorporating a bit of colorful language into your parenting repertoire can have surprising benefits. Let's explore why swearing moms might just be onto something.

1. Authenticity in Parenting:
   - Today's parents are often bombarded with unrealistic expectations of perfection. Swearing, when used appropriately, can be a way to break down those barriers and connect with other parents on a more authentic level.
   - By embracing swearing, moms can let go of the pressure to conform to societal norms and instead focus on being genuine in their interactions with their children and other parents.

2. Stress Relief and Emotional Release:
   - Parenting can be incredibly stressful, and sometimes a well-placed expletive can provide much-needed catharsis.
   - Research has shown that swearing can actually help alleviate pain and reduce stress by triggering the body's natural endorphin response. So, the next time you stub your toe on a toy for the hundredth time, don't feel guilty about letting a few choice words fly!

3. Teaching Context and Communication Skills:
   - Rather than shielding children from swearing entirely, some experts suggest using it as an opportunity to teach them about appropriate language and context.
   - By explaining when and where certain words are acceptable (and when they're not), parents can help their children develop a nuanced understanding of language and communication.

4. Building Resilience:
   - In today's world, children are inevitably going to encounter swear words, whether it's on the playground or online. Rather than sheltering them from these realities, parents can empower their children to navigate them confidently.
   - By modeling healthy attitudes towards swearing and teaching children to use language responsibly, moms can help their kids build resilience and adaptability in the face of diverse linguistic environments.

Swearing may not be for everyone, and it's important to recognize that every family has its own values and boundaries. However, for those moms who aren't afraid to sprinkle a little spice into their parenting style, embracing swearing can be a liberating and empowering choice. So, to all the swearing moms out there, keep being your authentic selves and owning your unique parenting journey.

When I was a child I saw a similar rock in a flower garden. I was fascinated by it! I have recently started using cement for projects and wanted to remake my childhood rock!

The rock I remember as a child was slightly different. The colors were earthy and the eyes were different. I LOVE color and wanted my rocks to be loud!

I ordered colorful zippers and found dragon eyes! I found my twist! I am going to create bold and beautiful dragon hatchlings!

Each hatchling has its own personality. This one is my favorite, he's sassy!

I even made a few minis! Can they be any cuter!

These will make an unusual but adorable addition to a flower garden. They are even perfect indoors on a shelf!

Find them in my 2nd Etsy shop: ThePaganHippieGifts

As always...
THANK YOU!

Politics ya'll. Fucking politics. I have to take a moment to share this with you because I want change... and I know you do too!

​

 Are you tired of choosing between the same old two-party system? Do you feel like you are in between parties? You don't want to vote Republican but you don't want to vote Democrat... are you just sick and tired of Republicrats? They really are the same though, right? What if you had other options... What if YOU could help open the eyes of others? You can!

​We need YOU!

My current motto is "End the Duopoly". The duopoly has been the same ol' song and dance for how many years, with no real change no matter who is in charge... I'm READY for change! Change for our voting system, our country, our leaders, and change for our children. We are not going to get that change unless WE THE PEOPLE make that change! We can no longer sit quietly and wait for that change! 

I have had the honor to work with a team of motivated individuals, that formed together under the leadership of Director Brad Leo Lyon. Our team, like so many others, want that same change. This team is setting their future change in motion instead of sitting around and hoping for that change by depending on others to make it happen. Because let's face it, it won't happen unless WE make it happen. It has been the same two-party system for over 150 years and will stay the same unless WE change it! You can be part of this movement too! (Here comes the exciting part!!!) 

There is a new movie being made as the definitive rebuttal to supporting 3rd Parties being a wasted effort! That's right... A MOVIE! It is time for 3rd Parties to get the recognition they deserve! 

Visit the website at LetsPartyMovie.com and look for the indiegogo campaign launching Sunday, November 29th at 5 PM EST. Perks will be available for purchase! 

There will be a video premiering on that date and time explaining everything!

We sure hope to have YOUR support.

Please join us in fighting back against the duopoly. Every third party from the Libertarians to the Greens will benefit from OUR efforts.


***An IndiGoGo campaign is a fundraiser to raise $$$ for the movie, there will be some pretty awesome perks involved to purchase! The team put a lot of thought into these! I really like them, I think you will too! 

Now YOU have a choice...
​
You can help us today and look back and say,
I helped make a difference.
I did that.
I helped BRING DOWN THE MOTHER FUCKING DUOPOLY!
​(You are a badass like that!)

​

Please show your support and help us take down the duopoly by showing others there are other viable options by sharing, commenting, and giving some good lovins on this post!

Who LOVES lettuce wraps? *me! me!* I have been struggling for the past year with my wraps! They rip, fall apart, and leave a giant mess. It was not until recently I learned how to actually make a wrap, yes there is an art to the wrap! Here's how to have a beautiful wrap...

I am on a low-carb kick again and my favorite go to food is a lettuce wrap! An easy way to separate the leaves is to cut the end off then hold the head under water until the leaves fall off. 

You will need parchment or wax paper... lay your paper down then place several layers of lettuce down to form a "square", you want the leaves to overlap... (My lettuce was nearing the end of its lifespan and it was a little droopy!). 

Take one side of the paper and roll it over. ​, carefully pull the rolled paper out while keeping the lettuce rolled

Keep rolling and pulling the paper out, (like you are rolling sushi) until the wrap is all rolled up!

I usually fold the ends in halfway during the roll-up but forgot! 

Now you can either cut in half and eat or just tear off one end of the paper and dig in! 

Happy Eating!

It's Halloween decorating time! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I LOVE decorating my house with spooky fun! This is one of THE easiest ways to decorate that also packs a major punch! Keep reading to see how easy these spooktacular window silhouettes are to make!!!

Are you ready for EASY! Go grab some orange tissue paper, scissors, and black cutouts and get to taping! 

***First off.... sorry for the shit-tastic camera quality! I used my cell phone and it was dark out! Don't you judge me! 

I am having a little friendly decorating competition with my friend who lives across the street. Every time I look at her house she has more decorations, so then I say... Oh shitballs I have to get more decorations, AND THEN SHE GETS MORE DECORATIONS... so I HAVE to get more!!! I left Dollar Tree one day after getting decorations, passed her on the street and then found out SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO DOLLAR TREE TO GET MORE DECORATIONS! It is a hilarious cycle. You can see how this can get expensive! I've been googling awesome CHEAP Halloween decorations and these silhouettes caught my eye! They look so cool at night!

Okay, so I bought the scaredy cat from Dollar Tree (I'm addicted to Dollar Tree!) and the bats from Wal-mart, they came in a pack of 12. They are just little pre-cut cutouts (I don't know if that is proper grammar but I'm owning it!)  that I taped to the window... THEN!!!! I covered the window with orange tissue paper. That's IT! so simple! 

In this window I bought spider pre-cut cutouts from Wal-Mart, 12 to a pack just like the bats. The Nosferatu I downloaded from Snazzy Little Things. I did have to enlarge it on my printer to make it larger! It printed out on 13 different pieces of paper and I cut the figure out then taped him onto black poster board. After I cut him out I taped him up and covered the entire window with orange tissue paper. 

The two spider windows were spider silhouette posters I bought off of Amazon. 

You do need to leave your lights on to illuminate the windows. So there it is... I think they look fantastic! The orange gives it an eery glow but you can use green tissue paper and go with a toxic zombie theme! 

Remember when I said I was addicted to Dollar Tree? Stay tuned for more of my Dollar Tree decorations!!!
