Embracing Imperfect Routines

Not Having a ‘Routine’ Is Also a Routine

Hey Besties, So, I’ve been asked several times, “When is your next blog post coming out?” Well, your guess is as good as mine. I wish I could say that I’m one of those women who has everything scheduled and organized, writes things down in calendars, and follows a routines. But the truth is, I don’t, and I probably never will because let’s be honest, I don’t have my shit together in that way. And you know what? I’m totally okay with it… it’s part of my charm! I’ve also never been the type of person who can follow a routine so there is that.

I’m not that mom who has her kids doing homework at a specific time or dinner ready every day at 6 o’clock. To be quite honest, we do a lot of takeout. And homework gets done when they are ready to do it, this advice was given to me by my sons second grade teacher. I applied it to him way back when and now to my bonus kiddo, so it’s not like I am just letting them do whatever they want. It was great advice from an amazing teacher.

That’s not to say that there is no structure because there is. It’s just more laid back and relaxed. At the end of the day, is their homework done? Yes. And do they get fed? Also, yes. Routines for me are stifling, and boring, I just can’t do it. And it’s not from a lack of trying because I’ve tried countless times. When I named my blog Chaos Coffee and Chisme (gossip), it was for a reason!

Staying Authentic

Also, when I started this blog, I saw it going In a specific direction. Isn’t there a saying about when one makes plans? The focus is still the same, just different in a way that is hard for me to explain. I also want to make sure that what I’m sharing with you all is authentic and inspired. After all if you are taking the time to read this, that is the least I could do, right? Rolling out a post a week to keep up with a schedule I made for myself, for whatever reason, seems to be the opposite of what I want this page to be about.

I am not going by the 100-day blog prompts I keep seeing promoted. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It’s just not my vibe. When you read my post, I would like it to mean something or help someone somehow, who has been in a similar situation or felt the same way I have.

Sometimes Less is More

Anyway, here I am making a blog post about when I will make an actual blog post, sigh! Just know the chisme is coming! I’ve been pulled in many different directions since starting, and I am trying to gather my many, many, many thoughts as to what to write about next. It’s not that I don’t have anything to say. Quite the contrary. I don’t know where to start.

Do I go back to the beginning with the chismesito about what it was like for us dealing with high conflict co-parenting situation in chronological order? Or do I roll tidbits here that are inspired by what some of my readers have reached out to me about? I don’t know let me get my shit together, and ill get back to you on that.

Also, If this is your first time joining me and you read this post in its entirety I wanted to say welcome to my blog and Thank You!! I hope you enjoyed the read if you want check out my other post go (here)! That will take you to my very first post!

XO
