The Unnatural Mother

About The Unnatural Mother

The name "The Unnatural Mother" came to Deanna a little over eight years ago when her first son was born. She was told that her maternal instincts would kick in as soon as the baby came flying out of her vajayjay. Eight years later, a ton of gray hair, and Deanna is still waiting for those maternal instincts to kick her in the ass! In the meantime, she writes, runs, and manages the stress of working full time, spaghetti on the ceiling, a dumped out fish bowl, a lizard, two active boys, being a wife to an incredible husband who busts her chops - daily, which of course, leaves her no time to clean the house. To catch more on how Deanna tries to get it all done without completely failing visit her at The Unnatural Mother, www.theunnaturalmother.com. Twitter love: @UnnaturalMother

Wait ’til Your Dad Gets Home

May 17, 2017 by The Unnatural Mother Leave a Comment

And the list was long. We were naïve because … [Read more...] about Wait ’til Your Dad Gets Home

20 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Had Kids

March 12, 2017 by The Unnatural Mother Leave a Comment

After seeing and holding the newest member of our family I've realized that there is nothing as pure, beautiful and amazing as the sight of a new born baby, but the smell, the smell of a newborn so lovely, so clean, it actually reminded me of the air in Oregon, strange I know, but it did. That wonderful smell was like a spell cast over me, it almost made me tell my husband … [Read more...] about 20 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Had Kids

How Do You Know You’re a Great Parent?

February 6, 2017 by The Unnatural Mother Leave a Comment

Every day as parents we question whether or not we are good, average hell … great parents, especially with the internet telling us that we are doing it all wrong, or those overzealous parenting posts on Facebook, or our own psychosis screaming into our brains that we are not good enough parents. Well, my friends, I am here to tell you that you’re a great parent, no matter … [Read more...] about How Do You Know You’re a Great Parent?

I’m Bribing My Kids to Eat Better…

August 15, 2016 by The Unnatural Mother Leave a Comment

My seven year old doesn’t eat anything healthy unless you consider spaghetti, pizza, pumpernickel and cream cheese, pancakes, candy, chips, pretzels, or chicken nuggets healthy--and he hasn't eaten a fruit or vegetable since I closed up those baby food jars when he was a year old! I know my three year old would try new things, including fruits and vegetables, but he does … [Read more...] about I’m Bribing My Kids to Eat Better…
