A Baby’s Job Description

We take pride in productivity here at Momopoly, so it’s no surprise that Madeline recently summed up M.E.’s professional profile: “You chew on your fist. You like to drink mommy milk. You pull hair. You scratch me with your nails. That’s your duty. Oh, and you pee and poop.”

With regards to the latter, this baby is one efficient mass producer.

    The baby is a mass producer (of poo) because you are a mass producer too (of milk) :)

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”

―Flannery O'Connor
