We’re halfway through 2025, and I don’t know about you, but this year didn’t unfold quite the way I imagined it would.

Moms, in all their realness, rawness, and yes, messiness, are finally stepping into the spotlight. Not the Pinterest-perfect, color-coded motherhood. The kind where the dishes aren’t done, the laundry is multiplying like rabbits, and the toddler just drew on the wall while you were on a call.

The Lazy Mom’s Guide is my way of helping other moms break free, too, from shame, from perfectionism, and from that toxic idea that “rest equals failure.”
