Which Mom Are You?
I’m sure the meme has gotten around to you, listing the different types of moms out there. They are oh-so-relatable and you may feel like a mix of the different descriptions. Well, we, at UR Basic Mom, decided to put our own spin on this meme and personalize them to our contributors. Kayse – Hot…
What We’re Into This Week {vol. 43}
What we’re wearing… These FAB yoga leggings {see discount code below} We are crazy loving these incredible yoga pants. They have pockets on both sides.

I Get It Now: I’m Ready To Meet You, Baby
I never used to understand when people would say that they didn’t love being pregnant. Who wouldn’t love feeling the kicks of a tiny baby that you are growing inside of you? Who wouldn’t embrace an adorable baby bump, proudly showing off that you are the sole source of a growing tiny human? Well, I…
Career Changes from a Mom Trying to Make it in Management

But, why can’t we celebrate one way without shaming…
New Mom: Everything is Good, Thanks!
“Everything is good, thanks!” You’ve probably said this to someone when asked how things were going early on in your motherhood journey. Their intentions were sincere. They, maybe, expected you to say “good” or even “great.” However, if a fellow mom is asking you, she’s probably expecting an honest reply. If I asked another mom…
Work-From-Home Mom: The Summer Saga
I’ve been a work-from-home mom for a couple of years now, but in early June I began transitioning my focus a bit. I used to, primarily, teach online. I did so early in the morning or late at night when my kids were sleeping and/or my husband was home. Recently, I decided to start offering…

Lately, it has been a struggle. I can be real about this. I see it over and over on my news feeds, beautiful smiles on chemically imbalanced souls. I can be real about this. You’ve seen me post about other personal parts of my existence, from co-parenting to recent loss and grief. Recently, the compound…
