At some time or another we have all masked our true emotion with a smile. You cover sadness and grief with a smile or a laugh so it all LOOKS good. But nothing really FEELS good. Anxiety and depression are almost too easy to cloak. Social media presents the opportunity to create an image we… Continue reading Hidden Behind a Smile
Author: Millie + Mom
I am a wife, friend, sister, aunt, and most of all MOTHER. I wholeheartedly believe in doing all that I can for my family with remembering too that I am still me, Millie. Welcome to Millie + Mom. With the motto "HOT MESS. LESS STRESS." I believe that once we can embrace the fact that all of this is really a hot mess and perfection is a myth, we can live with less pressure and ultimately less stress. This is for the single moms, married moms, soccer moms, cheer moms, everything in between moms and the getting shit done moms!

Motherhood in my mind can only be described as beautiful chaos. It’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. Yet, it is one of the most chaotic experiences I’ve ever had and enjoy. It’s psychosis. Loving a tiny person you made to the point your heart could explode and then doing it multiple… Continue reading Fresh Bananas
Mom Miles Away
In just a few days you will be gone from me. Not from this earth, but your physical presence. And although I carry you in my heart and my soul, my senses ache for you. My eyes weep for you.My nose misses your smell even though you’ve played all day. My hands miss your hugs… Continue reading Mom Miles Away
Rainbows
I wrote this poem with someone special in mind. As an empath I feel the emotions of my friends and family deeply and purely. I know several women personally that have dealt with infertility, loss or both so I wanted to share this. I hope this small piece finds a place to hide in your… Continue reading Rainbows

No Time Like the Present
The old adage "there's no time like the present" was first noted in 1562 by John Trusler. Trusler was a compiler of proverbs and the full saying actually reads, So, "No time like the present, a thousand unforeseen circumstances may interrupt you at a future time". And even Ben Franklin felt the sentiment and is… Continue reading No Time Like the Present

Check On Ya People
I know a lot of us are doing okay. We’re still working and day to day life is carrying on without a hiccup. But there are many more that are probably, most likely, silently struggling. The fact is, we don’t really know each person’s struggle. We don’t know what the person we share an office… Continue reading Check On Ya People
Growing Together
It seems to me that when we become parents others and often ourselves, have the unrealistic expectation that we have it all together. It is as if the moment your child is born you are expected to now be all-knowing, no mistake-making, grown up wonder parent. There have been times that I've felt that someone… Continue reading Growing Together
