About me.

Judith Iwen

I’m a tried that and failed momma of many who has finally found her answers. Well, some of them at least. I’m still a work in progress being raised up daily by my kiddos.

But before I get any older and forget it all, I want to share it in hopes that it may help or inspire another momma out there. I want it to be available for my kiddos when they start having kiddos.

There is just so much parenting junk out there. So many “helpful” suggestions about what you could do, should do, must do….I want to be a voice of reason and calm.

My 2 biggest answers today? Keep it Simple Stupid! and Be True to Yourself! Yeah, I don’t love the word stupid but I can be so caught up in trying to be smart about things that I can overcomplicate jello and….well….just be dumb about things. I forget to listen to my own inner parenting voice and try to do and take EVERY suggestion from EVERY doctor, teacher, administrator and fellow parent that….well, I wind up anxious and paralyzed.

I want to and have come to enjoy my crazy chaotic life as a momma of many. And I want to be a life preserver for other mommas out there who feel like they are drowning. Drowning in suggestions, belongings / things, obligations, commitments…. You are not alone and you DON’T have to do it ALL.

Let’s be on this momma journey together. Because IT IS HARD. But, momma friend, it is SO much easier when we walk….or trudge, the road together.
