The Three Types of Moms: A, B, and C

Or, should I say...

 The Survival Guide to Parenting with Personality✨

Type A Mom: The Overachiever Extraordinaire

• The school calendar is laminated (twice).
• Owns at least three planners, all color-coded.
• Makes Pinterest-worthy lunches that could be museum exhibits.
• Has a crisis plan for everything-including what to do if the Wi-Fi goes down.

💡 Heartfelt insight: This mom puts love into every detail, sometimes at the cost of exhaustion. She wants her kids to feel safe, prepared, and cherished.

Type B Mom: The Chaos Whisperer

• Bedtime? Whenever they naturally collapse from exhaustion.
• Believes "learning through experience" includes eating questionable couch snacks.
• The family motto: “We’re figuring it out as we go.”
• Has mastered the art of “creative negotiation” (i.e., bribery).

💡 Heartfelt insight: This mom prioritizes emotional flexibility. She knows childhood isn’t about perfection-it’s about resilience, creativity, and laughing through the mess.

Type C Mom: The Hybrid Hero

• One day it’s home-cooked meals, the next it’s “eat what’s in the car.”
• Can plan like a Type A, but has the soul of a Type B.
• Knows every teacher’s name but also forgets school picture day.
• Adapts like a pro...sometimes with grace, sometimes with caffeine.

💡 Heartfelt insight: She’s the balance between structure and spontaneity, doing her best with what she has. Some days feel like winning, others…survival.

Wrap-Up: Where Do You Fit?🤔

Motherhood isn’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you're an A, B, C - or something else entirely? The real win is showing up with love, humor, and just enough patience to make it through snack time. 

I've Tried Everything for My Chronic Headaches....Nothing is Working

 Will it ever get better?

There are good days. Days when I wake up without the pressure behind my eyes, the dull throbbing at my temples, the creeping tension down my neck. On those mornings, I hold my breath, hoping, praying, that maybe this time, the pain won’t return. But it always does.

• I’ve tried migraine medications💊—only side effects, no relief.
• I’ve tried the chiropractor—nope.
• I’ve tried antidepressants—got worse. (stopped them)
• I’ve tried essential oils—almost threw up from the intense smells.
• I’ve tried walking, losing 50 pounds—still have them.
• I’ve tried birth control—nothing.
• I've tried working on my gut health—Nothing
• I make sure I'm hydrated—Nothing
• I’ve tried ibuprofen and Tylenol together—nope.
• I’m gluten-free now for stomach issues—still have headaches.
• Diet adjustments—Still have them.
• I’ve tried yoga, meditation, stretching—still have them.
• I've taken allergy pills (Claritin, Zyrtec, Flonase)—Nope.
• Supplements (Magnesium, oil of oregano with black seed oil, iron, etc.) 

One medication that actually "works" for a few hours is Fioricet. But of course I don't want to take that every four hours for the rest of my life.... 

Through every attempt, every hopeful moment, the headaches remain. And the worst part? It’s not just the pain—it’s the way it drains me, wears me down, makes it hard to function. Some days, I push through because I have to, because my family needs me, because life doesn’t stop for pain.

 But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. The mental weight of chronic headaches is just as heavy as the physical one. The frustration, the helplessness, the exhaustion, it all builds up.

I don’t want to give up. But honestly? 

Some days, I’m just tired.

So here I am, still searching. Still hoping. And if you’ve felt this way, if you’re stuck in the same endless cycle, maybe this post is for you, or maybe you have some advice? 

Any help would be appreciated!

The Most Annoying Cleaning Problems: How to Beat Them Like a Pro

 

The Most Annoying Cleaning Problems

🧽🫧 Solved!🧽🫧

We’ve all been there....standing in front of a stubborn stain, mystery odor, or impossible mess, wondering WHY cleaning has to be this hard. Some problems seem like they’re mocking us, refusing to budge no matter how much we scrub, soak, or spray.

But here’s the secret🤫: Most annoying cleaning problems, have a surprisingly simple fix, you just need the right trick up your sleeve. As someone who’s been in the cleaning industry for over 10 years, I’ve seen (and conquered) almost every mess imaginable. 

So, if you’ve ever thought, “There has to be an easier way!” You’re absolutely right.✔️

Let’s dive into the worst cleaning struggles and the game-changing hacks to solve them once and for all!

1. The Mystery Odor That Won’t Go Away

You’ve scrubbed, sprayed, and aired things out, but somehow… it still smells weird.

Fix: Sprinkle baking soda on carpets, couches, and mattresses, let it sit for an hour, then vacuum. For fridge odors, place a bowl of coffee grounds or activated charcoal inside overnight—it absorbs smells faster than baking soda!

2. Hard Water Stains That Laugh at Your Cleaning Efforts

Those stubborn white marks on faucets and shower doors? Infuriating.

Fix: Rub a cut lemon directly on the spots, let the juice sit, then rinse. Citric acid breaks down mineral buildup better than most store-bought sprays. Need more power? Mix white vinegar with baking soda and let it foam before wiping clean.

3. The Never-Ending Battle Against Pet Hair

No matter how much you sweep, vacuum, or lint-roll, the fur keeps coming back.

Fix: Lightly dampen a rubber glove, then run it over furniture—it grabs hair like magic! For carpets, sprinkle a little fabric softener diluted in water, let it dry, and vacuum—it loosens embedded fur for easier cleanup, and it smells amazing!

4. Grease Stains That Just… Won’t… Budge

From kitchen cabinets to clothes, grease has a grip like no other.

Fix: On surfaces, rub a drop of dish soap or my new favorite, Dawn Power Wash, onto the grease and let it sit before wiping. For clothes, sprinkle chalk or cornstarch on the stain before washing; it absorbs oil like a sponge.

5. The Toilet Bowl That Never Looks Fully Clean

Hard water, hidden grime, or just bad luck—it seems permanently dull.

Fix: Pour a can of cola into the bowl, let it sit for an hour, then scrub. The acid in soda helps break down stains surprisingly well! If you have those rusty iron stains, use IRONOUT. When I discovered iron out, I was soaking the tub, washer, dishwasher, dishes, clothes, toilet bowl, just about everything with an iron stain on it. The stains DISAPPEARED within seconds!!!!! It comes in a spray or powder form. But I found it was more bang for your buck to get the powder.

6. Foggy Mirrors That Never Stay Clear

You clean them, but five minutes later, they look terrible again.

Fix: Rub shaving cream onto the mirror, wipe it off—this prevents fogging for a few weeks.

Final Thoughts💭

Cleaning doesn’t have to be a daily battle. Sometimes, the simplest household items can solve the most frustrating problems. With over 10 years in the cleaning industry, I’ve learned that creative solutions are often the best solutions.

What’s the one cleaning problem that drives you crazy?

The Fiery Parenting Duo: Finding Strength in Our Differences

 

Parenting, at its core, is a dance....a sometimes-chaotic, often-improvised, always-learning dance. 

And my husband and I? Well, let’s just say we bring some serious passion to the floor.

Take the other day, for example. The kids were in full meltdown mode, arguing over the same toy they’d ignored all week, while the house seemed to vibrate with the sheer volume of their voices. My husband, true to his fiery nature, jumped in, ready to bring order to the chaos with his strong, no-nonsense approach. I wanted to step in, soften the tension, and smooth things over the way I usually do. For a moment, we were out of sync....both frustrated and handling things in our own way.

But then, something clicked. I took a step back and realized that his intensity came from a place of care, of wanting to teach our kids lessons about fairness and respect. It’s not always the way I’d approach things, but that’s okay. Because where I bring calm, he brings energy. Where I offer patience, he offers conviction. Together, we create balance...not by being the same, but by embracing our differences.

This moment reminded me that parenting doesn’t have to be perfect or harmonious all the time. It’s about showing up, being present, and having each other’s backs, even when the dance gets a little messy. And at the end of the day, we’re in it together—fiery moments and all.💞
