An ode to all the times when you just need to get things off your chest

Maybe I’ve become too French and just genuinely love to complain

Lately, I open my eyes everyday to a soundtrack of baby babbles, a 4 year old narrating his dreams, and the mental checklist already sprinting through my brain. No joke, my alarm hasn’t even gone off yet, I haven’t had a coffee, but hey, the day’s chaos is already in motion.

This is where Meg’s Morning Rant comes in.

This isn’t a parenting manual. It’s not a highlight reel. It’s what I’d like to call the in-between. The real-life stuff I’m still figuring out how to articulate. Because motherhood is wild. But it’s also weirdly wonderful. I’m just a mom doing her best and has some things to say, and maybe that resonates with you too.

Here’s what you can expect here:

• Honest dispatches from life with two kids, zero chill, random, and a full-time job I actually love

• Tiny truths you didn’t know you needed until they hit you in the gut (or make you snort-laugh???)

• A Q&A series that I shall call Hat Tricks, where I ask everyday women doing their thing while raising tiny humans (think purse must-haves, [short] bedtime story faves, and rants of their own). As parents, it’s hard enough to find time to see/connect with friends, so think of this as a short, raw, unfiltered coffee chat takeaways in written form… the kind where you’re mentally scribbling down things your friend just said because it inspired you

• Cliché things like what I wish I knew before, sharing my experiences, camaraderie, and maybe a reminder to check the expiry on your Aquaphor or your lube

I’m not here to tell you how to parent. I’m here to say same!!!!

If you’ve ever felt lonely in the noise, or caught yourself smiling at a chaotic mess and thinking, “This is actually kind of beautiful” then you’re in the right place.

Let’s rant.
