Hey Steemverse, @metzli here, sharing the Steemitmamas Sunday Shares on an almost Monday. I'm in California, so even though I have a lot of Sunday left in my evening, most of the mamas have moved on to

Empathy and understanding are different I remember being a kid and my mom talking about a so and so who was so lazy during her pregnancy that she wouldn't tie her own shoes. I remember feeling bad for

The time changed here in Sunny San Diego today, it is now officially winter and as much as I dislike using the word... I HATE it. Really though. I don't dislike the winter, I dislike the silly rules and

My arch nemesis is Laundry. Even when all my clothes and bedding are clean and there is no more laundry to be washed, my mind starts moving towards the environment and how much I hurt it just by keeping

Every once in a while my children get the "pet itch" and no matter how many times they ask, cute looks they give me, how many times they help around the house (or any of those other things that

I find money while walking all the time. I used to think that it was because I had neighbors who didn't pay so much attention to their pockets, but now I recognize it for what it is: a sign from the Universe.

Ulogs are my favorite, here is mine for today. I woke up early in the morning, my oldest as usual was the one who woke me. I washed my body, and packed some lunches. Bunches of little containers filled

I am refraining from nagging and it is actually a lot easier than I thought Today my middle child who has been displaying extreme bouts of middle child syndrome got the best of me. I was in the middle

This is a challenge for the brave... hahaha. At least, I had to be brave. @livinguktaiwan decided on a Show Me Your Fridge Challenge and she shared hers first of course. I love her favourite magnets. She

It is 9:33 am on a beautiful Chula Vista Sunday Morning. It is warm. It is sunny. The day is perfect. And my kids are sleeping. I am letting them. My neighbors must be doing the same, because I cannot

I believe in team work. It makes perfect sense to me that when clean-up time happens, I divide up the chores, and let everybody get to it. But what actually ends up happening, is I do my chores, then I

I grew up (and currently live) in a community where it is ok to give an occasional whooping to your child, and its "normal" to yell at your kids. Everybody here loses their shit. And we laugh

Hello Steem Verse, @metzli here, posting from the Marlians site, the only tribe to give us our own space and tag ulog-mama. If you are a mama on the Steemverse and not a part of the steemitmamas, please

My oldest daughter has a different dad than the rest of my kids. And he's not the most responsible father (to her, from what I understand, he is an absolute delight to the rest of his children, biological

My "Fall Break" is coming to an end. In the next couple of days I will be trekking from my husband's house back to my own home and will fall back into the routine of being an UberMom and driving

Every once in a while I amaze my children with my "knowing" skills. "How did you know?" They ask. Wondering how I knew that they used their uniform shirt as a napkin, or didn't put

Today it rained for about 2 hours and what a relief it was. The sweet sound of rain pelting the roof and the ground, both our dogs gleefully playing together outside after days of hot hazy weather and
