The Tragic Mom's Guide to Eating Alone:

Every summer I spend an exorbitant amount of time by myself. Sounds sad, I know. I a time when I should be spending with my family, is actually spent in reflection or solitude surrounded people. You may or may not know what I mean. You ever fine yourself feeling alone wen you're surrounded by people? Feel as if everyone is on break and your work in never done? Talking to people who don't ever seem to hear you. 

See!!! It's not just me! And this is an expected part of adulthood. But I have noticed this summer one of the most evident times this feeling is present within me is during meal times. So I have begun this blog series titled The Tragic Mom's Guide to Eating Alone.

I would like to share some of my disparaging moments during parenthood and I would love you guys to share with me as well! There's nothing worse than eating by yourself, and i believe it is an inconspicuous yet vital skill in maneuvering happily through motherhood. 

I have always felt extremely self-conscious when eating by myself and my skills at faking it have grown with time. We often underestimate the power of a smile- not what it can do for others, but what it can do for us. Smiling through parenting's most tragic moments have helped me keep my sanity.

In the meantime, please share some of your tragic meal-time moments with either your family or yourself. 

​More to come!!!
