Motherhood is wild. One minute you're wiping applesauce off the dog, the next you're negotiating peace over a broken banana. And through it all, three things have never let me down: coffee, dry shampoo, and Paw Patrol.

Coffee: My Emotional Support Beverage

It’s not just a drink—it’s a lifeline. I’ve reheated the same cup three times and still drank it cold like a champ. That first sip? Bliss. That last sip, even if it’s 4 hours later? Still counts.

Dry Shampoo: My Secret Weapon

Who has time to wash and blow out their hair? Not me. A few spritzes, a messy bun, and suddenly I look like I made an effort. Spoiler: I didn’t. But nobody has to know.

Paw Patrol: My (Unpaid) Babysitter

Judge me if you want, but if it weren’t for Ryder and his crew of problem-solving puppies, I’d never get five minutes to pee, eat, or just breathe. At this point, I owe Chase and Skye my life.

So here’s to the real MVPs—keeping moms running on fumes, dry shampoo, and reruns. I may not have it all together, but with this dream team? I’m surviving just fine.

Now excuse me—someone’s crying because their sock is “too socky.”
