The Honest Mother Hood

I am Tomaseena but most people just call me “Tia.” I enjoy sharing my favorite tips and content that highlights my journey with everything, including relationships and motherhood, and all the adventures in between. And I am the creator of The Honest Mother Hood blog and upcoming YouTube channel.

The Honest Mother Hood is a community - a village, support system, a hood - built for women and mothers who want to discuss motherhood in all its forms with honesty and with confidence.

[ad] I’m sure it was attached to an anxiety he’s developed over time and it’s partially my fault. After I found out I was pregnant, I felt that I couldn’t handle a newborn and a dog. And now he doesn’t trust me. So reconnecting with him has been imperative. That’s why I was so happy when @thepackonprime sent me a box of toys and play equipment for us to use with Deuce to reestablish a fun bond. It’s in celebration of Amazon Prime Video’s new show, The Pack, which aims to celebrate that unrivaled bond between dogs and their human caretakers on an epic reality-competition adventure to the ends of the earth. In a global journey, and inspired by global dog culture, twelve teams of one human and one dog will race from country to country to compete in incredible challenges which are only achievable by the strength of their bond. #thepacktv The Pack began on Amazon Prime Video on November 20th. But your family and your dog can also join on the fun by visiting @thepackonprime’s website via the link in my bio. There are ideas for activities as well as discounts, deals and goodies from your favorite dog-loving brands. : : : #packlife #mansbestfriend🐶 #packedweekend #dogsofatlanta #chihuahuasofinsta #dogoftheday #dogtricks #dogstory #dogfuriendly #dogfun #furmomlife #furmomma #furdog #adventuredognation #adventuredog #primevideo #dogsoﬁg #dogsofigworld #ourpack #furdad #BLKcreatives #BlackInfluencers #BlackMotherhood #BlackMothers #AmplifyMelanatedVoices #AmplifyBlackVoices #BlackMomBlogger #microinfluencers #ctcls112420">

This kid goes through more mood swings in a day than I’ve ever come across in my life. Some call it emotional rollercoasters, in my community, we call it “sometime-y” because she wants to deal with people, but only ... sometimes.

This day — in this moment — she was pleasant and playful. I’m sure 30 min later she was a distant, whiny mess.

Marcel says I never post pictures of him. Truth is

<img src="http://thehonestmotherhood.co/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="Marcel says I never post pictures of him. Truth is he won’t pose for me. And is hardly ever seen in anything other than his work uniform 🥴 But with all the changes happening here, I feel like he’s been on GO for a while now. And I think that deserves some recognition. We’re three weeks into a job change that’s been physically taxing on him and psychologically taxing on me. But TBH, physical trumps psychological this time ... for now at least. He’s the ying to my yang ... the Biden to my Harris ... he’s the Kim to my Kanye (yep, you read that right because he’s the calm to my crazy).

I know you're tired mama. Homeschooling is kicking

<img src="http://thehonestmotherhood.co/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png" alt="I know you're tired mama. Homeschooling is kicking everyone's ass. The kids are more demanding (and dare I say, more annoying) than ever. You have meals planned in your head, but somehow they aren't making it to the stove. Laundry seems to be piling exponentially faster than it did pre-COVID. Your friends are complaining about not being able to reach you, because by the time you've settled down and are able to talk to anyone, you're too drained to call back. But I'm here to tell you that it's okay to take a break from it ALL - yes, even the kids. It is legit a form of #selfpreservation. Here's why: I was listening to @carlaphall's podcast and @kristenanniebell was her featured guest. Kristen talked about how important it was for her to reclaim #selfcare time in her day. Even if its just for 10 minutes - as long as you do it alone and uninterrupted. Think about all the roles you carry - mom, wife, homemaker, sibling, daughter, employee, entrepreneur and friend (sometimes all at once). She spoke about the importance of getting away from it all, letting the mind and body relax, and allowing time to RECHARGE. Empty batteries are useless, and if we are emotionally, psychologically and physically depleted, we are useless for our families. We must reclaim self care in order to self preserve. Tonight, at 7pm, I'll be chatting live with @kimissodope, a Licensed Family and Marriage Therapist, about balancing life, responsibility and self-preservation through self-care. I'm hoping to get suggestions on ways that women and mamas can advocate for themselves through self care. Go to my stories to save the alarm so that you can remember to join us. In the comments, tell me what you do to exercise self-care. For me, I escape into reality tv. It's mindless and allows my brain to kind of relax - turn off, even. : : : #momlifekeepingitreal #momtruths #thatmomlifetho #momanddad #momminainteasy #honestmommin #honestmomconfessions #parentproblems #mommyhood #motherhoodunfiltered #motherhooduncensored #lifeasmom #igmom #igmoms #igmommies #igmommy #igersmom #momsofig #igmother #motherhoodthroughig #mothersofig #momblogger #mombloggers #momblogs #mombloggersofig #momblogging">
