Average Mom Energy was born on International Women’s Day. Totally unplanned, but definitely not a coincidence. Since becoming a mom in 2017, I’ve felt a deep urge to challenge the way society makes us feel about motherhood.

Like most moms, I follow tons of parenting accounts on social media. And if you’re like me, you’ve probably watched those perfectly curated GRWM videos and thought, Where are your kids?!

So, here’s the goal— a REAL mom blog. No unrealistic standards, no all-or-nothing categories. You can be the mom who wakes up at 5 AM to create magical moments for your kids and the mom who’s running out the door in slippers, yelling for everyone to hurry up. You can gentle parent one minute and totally lose it the next. You can love your kids with everything you have and still struggle with feeling like a “good mom.”

Because the truth is, motherhood isn’t perfect. And neither are we.
