One of the best things about being a mom today is that we’re being more honest about the challenges of motherhood than ever before.
With all that honesty comes a lot of humor, too!
Comedian Colleen Ballinger just shared a hilarious and relatable post that will speak to all the tired parents out there.
This is Colleen Ballinger.
She is a YouTube star, actress, author, and comedian.
She might look familiar even if you haven’t heard her name before. That’s probably because you know her as her alter-ego.
Colleen is the mastermind behind Miranda Sings.
Miranda Sings is one of the biggest YouTube channels in the world and the character stars in her own Netflix show, Haters Back Off .
Colleen/Miranda announced she was expecting back in June 2018.
Of course she had a lot of fun sharing updates with her fans on the pregnancy. Loving this “Baby Sings” outfit for the bundle of joy.
She also displayed her baby bump in Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” music video.
Colleen made a cameo during the video’s Mean Girls and Bring It On tributes. I think this cheerleader outfit could inspire some new maternity trends, don’t you?
Colleen was keeping it real all the way to the delivery room.
Colleen and her fiancé welcomed a baby boy named Flynn in December 2018.
Even though she’s a mom now, she’s been posting frequent updates about things like baby poop and night feedings.
Her latest post might be the most relatable one yet.
Colleen posted this mirror selfie of herself wearing a stained shirt. It doesn’t seem like the most remarkable photo at first, but there’s more to it than meets the eye.
There we go. That’s more like it.
I like to think of this as a map of mom life. All the landmarks are covered: baby barf, poop, pee, and dirty dishes. This definitely looks like an accurate photo of postpartum life.
Colleen also shared an honest message with her photos.
Even though her career is built on her online image, Colleen is taking a moment to share the raw side of motherhood.
What an important reminder for all the moms out there. Thanks, Colleen!
