Blended families can be both complicated and incredible. Becoming a stepmom was THE most formative moment of my “growing up” (learning, not just aging). // That’s why it’s taken me so long to write about it. Because it’s raw and it’s full of choppy conditions. It’s imperfect and doesn’t fit the mold I wanted it to. // I’m learning, though, to embrace the waves of the ocean of stepmomming. 🌊 // On this week’s blog I’m talking to YOU, stepmoms. Are you a “thinking” one? Are you determined to be a great one? Me too. [link in profile]. // Are you part of a #blendedfamily ? I’d love to hear what advice you’d give to someone on their journey. 👇 // #stepmom #stepmonster #stepmomlife #blendedfamily #stepkids #emotionalintelligence #stepparenting #stepparent #stepmother #stepmomsrock #stepmomstrong #stepmomsrule #stepmomsupport #queenconvenient
Let’s talk about SLEEP. 😴 😴 Insomniac or inMOMniac - I’m not sure anymore. All I know is that sleep is precious and preserves my remaining sanity. 😜 But it doesn’t come as easily as it used to. 🛏 Thankfully I have a few hacks that help me get through the sleepiest of work days (discovered most of this through advice and research).📚Thought it was worthy of a re-share for any tired mommas trying to be critical thinkers at work today! 🤔 Link in profile.

👆That’s me trying to sleep on the floor in my daughters room last night so she’d go back to sleep. It didn’t work.🤷‍♀️ - Sleep is pretty much everything to me these days 🙌 - I thought it would get better as the kids are getting older but it’s just...different. I hate telling hopeful new moms that they will sleep great again because they probably won’t ever get a nice run with NO interruptions. And I don’t know about you but having babies made me the worlds lightest sleeper. 🛏 - So shout out to all my sleep deprived parents today. May the coffee be strong 💪 ☕️ (and the studies about sleep be wrong?) - #survivalistmom #allthecoffee #floorsarentforsleeping #ouch #tiredparentsclub #sleepdeprivedstyle
So excited to share my latest post featured on @scarymommy ! 😆 Not only am I a super fan of their site, brand, and sense of humor — I’m also proud to have gone out of my comfort zone to share my writing. ◾️ The article is about my favorite topic (as I get older): learning to not care what others think while also softening our inner critic. 🤷‍♀️ The link is currently in my profile.◾️ So, be good to yourselves today and everyday, mommas! 💕 - #scarymommy #workingmom #sidehustle #loveyourself #queenconvenient @julieamelton

About QC // Julie

Julie Melton (aka Queen Convenient) is a working mom and freelance writer slash side-hustler who currently runs an Iknowyourlifeisn’tthatperfect lifestyle site, Queen Convenient.
After years of negative self talk about not being good enough at working mom-hood, she recognized this common narrative and decided to write about it to help others. Now she’s determined to help other working moms avoid the mistakes she made, stumbling over a busy working lifestyle like a pile of Legos.
Welcome, friend, to the Queen Convenient lifestyle.
