Welcome to Mama Tries

Classic Underachiever Who Lives Life With Her Heart Hanging Out 

She's About As Real As It Gets 

She's doing the best she can. Laughs a lot. Cries easily. Overthinks things. Unapologetically rides this emotional rollercoaster called Life with her hands in the air and her head thrown back, shrieking at the thrill of it all.


She is who she is. 

Bless her heart. She tries.
