Hi.

I'm Nadine. Thanks for stopping by. The floors are creaky, the kids are loud, but the door's always open and the coffee's always on.

Mommy Brain: Condiments Vs. Child Care

Onesie by TheOystersPearl

After spending most of yesterday in the sun, I woke up this morning with a throbbing headache and no desire to do anything.

I was lounging on the couch in my pjs, drinking reheated day-old coffee, when I asked my husband a very important question:

ME: How do the Kardashians have the time and energy to spend, like, 5 hours a day on their hair and makeup?

MATTHEW (according to me): Mayonnaise.

ME: WHAT?!

MATTHEW (for real): Nannies.

ME: I thought you said mayonnaise.

MATTHEW: Nope.

ME: I wish their secret was mayonnaise. I could do mayonnaise.

I eventually managed to shower and put on mascara. Tylenol fixed the headache. And I survived the day without a nanny OR mayonnaise.* Take that, Kardashians.**

*I ate mayo yesterday. And I'll eat mayo tomorrow. It's my favourite food group.

**I didn't, however, contour my face — although apparently nontouring is the new thing? I'm so behind — or blow-dry my hair. So maybe the Kardashians and their nannies still win.
