Live Poop!

I am finally going live with this blog! I've been wanting to author a blog for years now, but never felt like I had a solid "theme" to write about. This past October I gave birth to a beautiful little girl after over 33 hours of unmedicated, natural labor, and affectionately began calling her Scoops. About a month later, the idea for Scoops of Poops was born.

I know some of you out there are thinking "WTF??" and I totally get it. A blog about poop? Ew! Unless you're a mom. If you're a mom, you understand that poop happens. Like, all the time. Literally and figuratively, in far more varied and interesting ways than it ever did before you became a mom. And if you're a new mom, like me, I hope you'll take comfort in (and maybe have a few laughs while) following my poopy, joyous, mistake-ridden journey into new motherhood. At Scoops of Poops, I hope to build a community of moms, a safe space where we can laugh at and learn from our common mistakes. Because motherhood, parenthood, is so messy, and so imperfect, and that's what makes it wonderful. So let's shatter the idea of perfection in parenthood. Let's create a new norm of acceptance, and support one another in that effort. Let's get poopy.

Welcome to Scoops of Poops!
