Mallory | Mom of W.A.R.

I have been trying to up my skincare game for a few months now, and I have been on the hunt for a fantastic collagen supplement... I found it mamas! #sponsored @aunaturalskinfood Marine Collagen Powder is easy, tasteless, and has helped my skin, hair, and nails look healthier than they have in a while! And, let me be honest, my self-care routine is minimal, so I greatly needed the boost! I just don’t have the time or energy for a routine that takes 30 minutes, but I add in a teaspoon of their collagen powder to my hot tea or smoothie... BOOM...done. That easy! I’ve been using their AM moisturizing day cream also and it feels fantastic and fresh. You can find Au Natural Skinfood’s products at aunaturalskinfood.com or Amazon. On their website use code: SERUM on orders over $19 to receive a free Superfuit Eye Serum. #aunaturalrevolution #fearlesslyhealthyfaces #collagensupplement

Motherhood is a different experience for all of us. Different isn’t bad. It doesn’t mean any one of us is a better mother than the other. Having different experiences is one thing that makes motherhood so incredible. ⭐️ I found myself in motherhood, and I want to share my experience with you. Check out the blog for my latest post. ⭐️ Do you have a clear sense of who you are? I know that sounds strange, because it seems like you should know who you are at any stage of your life. But for me, once I knew… I knew, and I realized I didn’t know before. Tell me, how do you define yourself? #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #unfilteredmotherhood #rawmotherhood #momlife #busymom #busymomlife #personalgrowth #myjourney #myexperience #personalstory #mystory #defineyourself #embraceyourself #embracethejourney #momofwar

One of my favorite places in our house... our command center. I don’t lose school papers, forget dates to remember, or have to ask the kiddos to track down their backpacks or lunchboxes. I want to add a Weekly Dinner Menu chalkboard, so I can ditch the notecards 🤣. A command center can literally be whatever you need it to be, but I have some ideas to get you started! Check out my post. ⭐️ link in bio ⭐️ Do you have a command center?

Today is our 5 year anniversary, and let me tell you... I’ve been excited for this day since January 1. Our total years together are double 5, plus a few. From day 1, I knew there was something special about you. At the time, I couldn’t define it. I just knew it was there. It was magnetic. We grew up together... and even pushed each other (sometimes uncomfortably) in the right direction. Before this day 5 years ago, we had already started our family and began to build our life. Now look how far we’ve come and what beauty surrounds us every day! We’ve seen mountains and oceans, visited Vegas and The Mall of America, eaten at 5 star restaurants, and gone on adventures alone and with our boys. We’ve stayed in comfy clothes, eaten too much good food, passed on chores to enjoy the sunshine, and had date night at home. You know me better than anyone, and I trust you more than everyone. As individuals we are pretty cool people, but together we are unstoppable. Jeremiah, you’re my soul mate. My person. My happily ever after. My favoritest. You are where I’m supposed to be in this world, and anywhere you are is where I am home. I cannot wait to go on new adventures (today and everyday) with you! Happy 5th anniversary. I freaking love you so much.

We had the best time celebrating our oldest turning 8 this past Saturday. 🥳 ⁣ ⁣ Having a kickball birthday party was a genius idea... and that genius is all on the birthday boy. 🔴 ⁣ ⁣ Read how to have your very own, super fun kickball party on the blog. ➡️ link in bio ⬅️ ⁣ ⁣ #birthdayboy #8yearsold #celebrate #birthdaypartyideas #kickball #kickballbirthday #kickballislife #momlife #boymomlife #boymom #boymomma #boymama #momblogger #mommyblogger #momblogs #momofwar

Happy 8th birthday to one special little boy, who isn’t so little anymore 😢. It seems like just yesterday he was toddling around in a diaper and sitting on random objects 🤣. We called him “the man of many seats.” He called me “mom mom” 💙 and loved Paw Patrol. He’s grown into an incredibly handsome, sweet, goofy little man, and we can’t wait to celebrate today with! Happy birthday Bug! We love you! @wesnwheels #happybirthday #8yearsold #8thbirthday #specialday #thefuture #boymom #boymomlife #boymama #motherhood #growingup #growinguptoofast #momofwar #wesnwheels

I have so much fun with these two cool dudes. But someone please tell me why they have to get older SO quick 😭. It seems like just yesterday I was feeding Wheels’ chunky baby cheeks rice cereal, and Wesley was running around in a diaper sitting on any object he could find 🤣 (We called him “the man of many seats.”) Seriously, Wesley will be 8 in TWO days! @wesnwheels⁣ ⁣ Every. single. day. I am incredibly thankful and blessed that these two little boys love their mommy so much 💙⁣ #blessedmom #blessedmama #boymom #boymama #boymomlife #momlifebelike #mommysboys #motherhood #motherhoodunplugged #theygrowupsofast #staylittleforever #wesnwheels #momofwar

💙 Love yourself 💙⁣ ⁣ It sounds like it should be so freaking easy to do... but it’s just not. ⁣ ⁣ We are so hard on ourselves, and it’s so easy to get caught up in comparing ourselves to others. That’s what I’ve been struggling with. As a blogger, I dream of being successful. I dream of really making an impact in the lives of other women and mothers. I know I have knowledge and experience to offer... but then... I see the perfect women. The perfect pictures. The perfect filters and flawless skin. Tiny, toned bodies. The perfect houses and rooms perfectly cleaned. All of the things that I KNOW and understand aren’t a daily reality for 99% of us, but I still compare... and I still feel like I’m lacking. It’s really hard to break out of thinking that way. ⁣ ⁣ I know my husband loves me exactly the way I am. I know my kids love me exactly the way I am. That’s all that truly matters... but unfortunately it’s not that easy to change mental self-talk. Social media has trained us to constantly compare... and we all know bad habits are hard to break. ⁣ ⁣ We all have different situations, but I know this is a familiar struggle for a lot of you too. I’m working on learning to accept myself exactly the way I am... and whatever season I am in, because we are ever-changing creatures! ⁣ ⁣ When you’re feeling down, just know you aren’t alone. Don’t give up on yourself... and no matter what... don’t sell out. Stay true to YOU.⁣ ⁣ #loveyourself #loveyoself #staytrue #staytruetoyourself #womensupportingwomen #momblogger #bloggersofinstagram #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodainteasy #momlife #boymomsrock #momofwar #photoroom

I started Mom of WAR, because I was looking for a hobby... an outlet... a space just for me. Over the past three years it has become so much more. I’ve learned an incredible amount about who I am as a person, wife, and mother through my writing. I am excited and hopeful to continue growing and building a community of moms that are able to learn, laugh, and share with one another! Thank you for letting me share my journey with you! #blogaversary #3years #momofwar ##momblogger #mommyblogger #supportmoms #momcommunity

I’m sure most of you have wondered, at least once (but probably more), if you are doing this mom thing right. I know I have. Moms are so good at giving their kids advice, telling them what to do, encouraging them a certain way, etc. While that’s never a bad thing, and let’s face it... we aren’t going to stop... the actions we take in our own lives are going to have lasting impressions on their lives and influence the actions they take in the future. This very concept is what I am using to form my dissertation. Not only is it vital, but it’s personal for me. It’s vital to understand that our consistent actions are molding consistent habits and behaviors within our children. As a young adult, I spent years not understanding my own actions, emotions, or even my interaction with my personal world around me... and at times it was terrifying! I was reacting to life in a way that was instilled within me. I was handling my life in the same way my mother had handled hers... and it was so freaking toxic. It took time and patience, especially from my husband, to break these habits. And I’m not going to lie, I certainly haven’t perfected myself... but who really has, right? Being an example for our kids is arguably the most important part of parenthood. We avoid “looking in the mirror” because change is hard, but it’s never too late to change habits, behaviors, thought processes, etc. that need work. Do your mom thing. Give them your best guidance and advice, but don’t forget to let them see the best version of you too. #psychology #mompsychology #bestversionofyou #leadbyexample #bestadvice #makethechange #mamalove #motherhoodishard #momlife #yougotthismama #momofwar
